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 Q2 2026, the Gatineau metropolitan area recorded 1,310 residential sales. The single-family median price was $523,500, with a selling time of 27 days (APCIQ, Centris data).

According to APCIQ, over the 12 months ending in June 2026, conditions favoured sellers for single-family homes in every price range. A well-located home can therefore sell quickly. Coming in with a pre-approval and clear criteria lets you make an offer without rushing.

Frequently asked questions

Plan for the land transfer duties (welcome tax), billed by the municipality after the purchase. I have worked with buyers from Ontario since 2017, and I explain each step before you sign.

Yes, it is strongly recommended. A pre-approval clarifies your budget and makes your offer more credible to the seller. It is not final approval: the lender will also review the property you choose.
