Owners put the median home at $392,000 at the 2021 census; for Quebec’s towns the median is $300,000. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Quebec, so nothing here says what Cap-Rouge’s homes actually sold for. For property tax, the 2025 roll sets the median single-family home at $365,000, on July 1, 2023 market values. Cap-Rouge doesn’t get its own property-roll values and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Québec.
