First purchase or a move from Ottawa or Montréal: I guide you at every step, with the numbers in hand.
Buying in Gatineau in 2026: what the numbers say
In Q3 2026, the Gatineau metropolitan area recorded 1,044 residential sales. The single-family median price was $480,000, with a selling time of 34 days (QPAREB, Centris data).
According to QPAREB, over the 12 months ending in Q3 2026, conditions still favoured sellers for single-family homes under $740,000, and the market was balanced at $740,000 and up. Inventory rose 42% in a year, but a well-located home can still sell quickly. Coming in with a pre-approval and clear criteria lets you make an offer without rushing.

Choosing a property also means choosing a neighbourhood and a strategy
The house matters, but the area often decides the rest, like resale value and the commute to Ottawa. Before an offer, I show you what sold nearby and at what price.
