Resale statistics for Gatineau come from the Quebec Professional Association of Real Estate Brokers (QPAREB), which compiles every sale on the Centris system. It reports the Gatineau census metropolitan area, the Quebec side of the Ottawa-Gatineau region, each quarter rather than each month. The figures below are for Q2 2026 (April to June 2026), compared with the same quarter a year earlier. QPAREB publishes median and average prices by type of property but no MLS® HPI benchmark; the Canadian housing market overview explains how the measures differ.
Gatineau home prices, Q2 2026
| Property type | Median price | Change | Average price | Change | Sales |

Gatineau CMA, Q2 2026, QPAREB by the Centris system. Changes are against the same quarter a year earlier.
QPAREB does not publish an average for all property types together. Dividing its total sales volume by the number of sales gives $530,151 for Q2 2026, a figure computed here from the board’s two totals.
