The market continued to ease in the Gatineau CMA during the month of August
Inventory continues to rise in the residential resale market in the Gatineau CMA.
Total sales in August reached 320, down 18% from the same period last year. New listings jumped by 27% (860, compared to 676 in August 2025), further boosting inventory. Inventory now stands at 2,318 units—single-family homes, condominiums, and multi-unit properties with 2 to 5 units—a 50% increase over the past year.
As mentioned last month, the market is stabilizing and remains active. However, Jean-Marc Blais, chairman of the board of directors of La Chambre immobilière de l'Outaouais, does not yet consider the market to be fully balanced. “The market continues to ease, and in my opinion, that’s the real message behind the August figures. We must avoid confusing a decline in the number of transactions with a market crash,” he explains.
To fully understand how the market is behaving, it’s important to look at the cumulative figures since January—not just the successive drops in sales observed since spring, particularly in the condominium sector. “After eight months, the median price of a single-family home remains stable at $500,000, and buyers have much more choice.”
In August, however, the median price of single-family homes stood at $464,944. Does this signal a downward trend? Jean-Marc Blais remains cautious but believes the outlook is positive. “The market is changing: buyers are less rushed, more selective, and demand more realism from sellers. We are gradually returning to a more balanced market,” concludes the president.
