Centris Residential Sales Statistics – Fourth Quarter 2025
Gatineau, January 13, 2026 – The Chambre immobilière de l’Outaouais (CIO) and the Quebec Professional Association of Real Estate Brokers (QPAREB) today released the residential real estate statistics for the fourth quarter of 2025, along with the annual review of the Gatineau Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) housing market. The data are drawn from the Centris real estate database.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, 951 residential sales were recorded in the Gatineau CMA, representing a 12 per cent decrease compared with the same period in 2024. This slowdown nonetheless reflects normal seasonal conditions and follows an exceptionally strong fourth quarter in 2024. Prices remained resilient, supported by demand that is still present in the market.
Property listings increased toward the end of the year, with 1,481 active listings, up 14 per cent year over year. Despite this increase, market conditions remained relatively tight. Single-family homes posted a median price of $485,000 in the fourth quarter, up 4 per cent, while the average time on market continued to decline, reaching 32 days.
Market activity varied by property type. The condominium segment showed signs of rebalancing, with a decrease in sales combined with a marked increase in supply, while the plex market remained under pressure. Overall, despite a decline in plex transactions in the fourth quarter, the persistent seller-favourable imbalance continued to support prices, with the median plex price reaching $621,000, up 9 per cent.
For the year as a whole, 4,733 residential sales were recorded in the Gatineau CMA in 2025, an increase of 3 per cent compared with 2024. Annual sales volume reached $2.41 billion, up 10 per cent, confirming the market’s resilience despite a more challenging economic environment.
“The Gatineau market slowed toward the end of the year, but 2025 remains a solid year overall. The gradual increase in supply is beginning to offer buyers more choice, particularly in the condominium segment, without slowing price growth,” notes Roch St-Jacques, Board President of the Chambre immobilière de l’Outaouais.”
