The 2021 census put the median home at $280,000, with an average of $276,170. The census figure is the owner’s own reckoning of value in May 2021; actual sale prices may differ. No open sale prices are published in Quebec, so for Vanier the census value is the measure. The municipal roll for 2025 values single-family homes at a median $365,000, at July 1, 2023 prices. Figures for property-roll values and building permits are published for the city of Québec as a whole, not for Vanier alone.
