A median of $348,000 and a mean of $363,000: that is how owners valued their homes in 2021. The census figure is the owner’s own reckoning of value in May 2021; actual sale prices may differ. No sales are published for towns in Quebec, Montréal-Est included, so owners’ values are the measure. Québec’s 2026 property roll puts single-family homes at a median $389,700, at market values of July 1, 2024.
