In figures: $139,000 for the median home in 2021, $300,000 for the middle of Quebec’s towns. The census asks owners what their home would sell for, so the values are estimates from May 2021. No sales are published for towns in Quebec, Dégelis included, so owners’ values are the measure. For property tax, the 2025 roll sets the median single-family home at $162,800, on July 1, 2023 market values.
