A quiet December in the Gatineau CMA, but a strong 2025 amid socio-economic turmoil!
The year 2025 ended on a relatively quiet note in the Gatineau CMA, but over the 12-month period, there were many ups and downs compared to the previous year, including a 3% increase in residential sales with a total of 4,733, and a grand total of residential and commercial sales also up 3% (5,030).
For December, total sales (-22%), new listings (-9%), and sales volume (-25%) showed a marked slowdown in the market. Only active listings (+19%) stood out positively compared to December 2024 figures.
As for the statistics for 2025, they surpass almost all of those for 2024. In addition to residential sales up 3%, there were increases in new listings (7,882, +8%) and sales volume ($2,407,584,813, +10%). The year ended with a slight +1% increase in active listings.
More specifically... Sales of single-family homes jumped 4% to 3,551, their median price reached $499,000 (+7%), and they remained on the market for an average of 7 days less in 2025. It was a more difficult year for condominiums, with sales down 4% (768), which translated into a 17% increase in active listings, among other things. “The trend that began in the fall is continuing. The market remains more selective, but it offers real opportunities for well-informed first-time buyers. Preparation and professional guidance make all the difference,” explains Roch St-Jacques, Chairman of the Chambre immobilière de l'Outaouais.
Finally, it was an excellent year for plexes, with a 16% increase in sales, a median price of $585,000 (+9%), and an average number of days on the market that fell by 14 days to 44.
A perfect storm that is fading
Roch St-Jacques believes that the 2025 market will have been hit by a perfect socio-economic storm, the main winds of which were the announcements of public service cutbacks, a possible referendum if the Parti Québécois is elected in the fall of 2026, and the level of insecurity among buyers created by Bill 2.
“Fortunately, the impacts were less than anticipated. Issues related to doctors have stabilized, the announced cutbacks have been mitigated, and the overall climate has gradually calmed down,” said the CIO president.
“This more reassuring context allows us to look forward to the beginning of the year with renewed confidence. We are already seeing the gradual return of buyers who had temporarily left the market, particularly in the single-family segment,” adds Roch St-Jacques. The Outaouais region is once again demonstrating its ability to adapt. The fundamentals of our market remain solid, and current signals lead us to believe that the coming months could see a more active return of buyers in a more balanced and thoughtful environment."
