At the 2021 census the median home was worth $448,000, where Quebec’s towns sit at $300,000. No open sale prices are published in Quebec, so for Duvernay the census value is the measure. Single-family homes are on the 2025 roll at a median $565,000; the roll values them as of July 1, 2023. For property-roll values and building permits, the only official count covers all of the city of Laval, Duvernay included.
