A median of $400,000 and a mean of $425,113: that is how owners valued their homes in 2021. For Saint-Louis there is no published sale price, as for every town in Quebec. The municipal roll for 2025 values single-family homes at a median $365,000, at July 1, 2023 prices. Nobody publishes property-roll values and building permits for Saint-Louis alone, so this card uses the figure for the city of Québec.
