Home ownership

Buying a house is a big step, and must be taken with caution. Some owners try to sell their own houses, but most transactions take place with the help of an agent. To help you make a decision or to find out more about the steps in the process, see the website maintained by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

In 2004, in Québec, the average cost of a single-family house was $173 725  (in Canadian dollars), but the cost varies from city to city. For example, the average price of a house in Trois-Rivières and Saguenay was around $90 000, compared to $129 149 in Québec City.

Newly-built houses in Québec are more affordable than in many other places in North America.
