At the 2021 census the median home was worth $200,000, where Quebec’s towns sit at $300,000. The values date from May 2021 and are what owners thought their homes were worth, not sale prices.

Québec’s 2025 property roll puts single-family homes at a median $304,600, at market values of July 1, 2023.
