Lanaudière Real Estate Market by Sector: Q3 2026

In the third quarter of 2026, Centris counts 1,628 residential sales in Lanaudière, 10% fewer than in summer 2025, and a single-family median price up 4%, to $518,250. That regional figure covers gaps where one price is double the other: over four quarters, the single-family median is $332,687 in Saint-Calixte and $670,725 in Lachenaie. Here are the 20 most active territories, the context this fall and the limits of these data.

The Lanaudière real estate market in Q3 2026

From July to September 2026: fewer sales than a year earlier, more properties on the market, and medians that are stable or rising.

Source: Centris real estate statistics for Lanaudière, third quarter of 2026, meaning July to September. Changes are compared with the same quarter of 2025; changes in days are expressed in days.

All categories combined, Lanaudière has 2,864 new listings (+10%) and 2,958 active listings (+22%). Over the last four quarters, 7,430 properties were sold in the region (-6%). The Centris residential total also includes hobby farms.

The 20 most active territories, compared

Centris publishes 67 territories in Lanaudière, 9 of which recorded no sales at all this quarter. The table keeps, in order, the 20 with the most sales over the last four quarters, meaning 98 or more: together they account for 1,282 of the quarter’s 1,628 sales. “n.p.”: not published by Centris, because there are not enough transactions.

Source: Centris real estate statistics for Lanaudière and for each territory: Repentigny, Mascouche, Terrebonne, Lachenaie, Saint-Lin-Laurentides, La Plaine, L’Assomption, Sainte-Julienne, Le Gardeur, Lavaltrie, Joliette, Rawdon, Saint-Calixte, Chertsey, Saint-Donat, Notre-Dame-des-Prairies, L’Épiphanie, Saint-Charles-Borromée, Lanoraie and Saint-Côme, third quarter of 2026, meaning July to September. Centris publishes Repentigny as two territories and Terrebonne as three. The other 47 territories can be consulted on the Centris website.

The top and bottom of the table. For the quarter, Centris publishes a single-family median for only 13 territories in the region, all of them in this table. At the top: Lachenaie ($695,000), Terrebonne ($632,500) and Saint-Donat ($612,500). At the bottom: Saint-Calixte ($322,500) and Rawdon ($404,450). Over four quarters, only Saint-Donat (-5%) and Notre-Dame-des-Prairies (-2%) see their median fall.

Sales are not moving in the same direction. They fall 42% in Chertsey and 36% in Saint-Calixte, but rise 36% in L’Épiphanie and 31% in both Sainte-Julienne and Lavaltrie. With 30 to 70 sales, a handful of transactions is enough to move these percentages.

Selling time changes from one territory to the next. A single-family home sold in Mascouche stayed on the market 25 days on average during the quarter; in Sainte-Julienne, 81 days, 39 more than a year earlier. Over four quarters, within the table, the average ranges from 24 days in Mascouche to 98 days in Saint-Côme.

Supply is growing almost everywhere. Of the 18 territories in the table where Centris publishes the change in active single-family listings, only Chertsey (-14%) and Saint-Donat (-2%) have fewer than a year earlier.

Condos in the south, plexes in the dozens

The cities of Terrebonne and Repentigny, along with Mascouche, L’Assomption, Charlemagne, L’Épiphanie and Saint-Sulpice, account for 235 of the 265 condos sold in Lanaudière during the quarter. Only three medians are published there: $442,000 in the Terrebonne territory (+4%), $387,500 in Mascouche (+6%) and $320,000 in the Repentigny territory (-15%).

Plexes total 61 sales in the region during the quarter (-42%), 27 of them in these seven cities: the 11% rise in their regional median rests on few transactions. Over four quarters, four territories in the table have a published plex median: $828,237 in Mascouche, $754,640 in Terrebonne, $591,000 in Saint-Lin-Laurentides and $510,084 in Joliette.

Lanaudière’s six sectors, from south to north

This series devotes an analysis to each of these six sectors. The APCIQ barometer places Terrebonne, Mascouche, Repentigny, Charlemagne, L’Assomption, L’Épiphanie, Saint-Sulpice, Lavaltrie, Saint-Roch-de-l’Achigan and Saint-Lin-Laurentides in the North Shore of the Montreal metropolitan area; the rest of Lanaudière is not part of it. Centris publishes no sector median: the benchmarks go territory by territory.

Sector 1: Terrebonne, Lachenaie and La Plaine. Terrebonne’s three territories total 319 sales for the quarter. In the Terrebonne territory, single-family sales fall 25%; in La Plaine, they rise 21%, and the active supply of single-family homes there has nearly doubled (+94%).

Sector 2: Mascouche. The region’s second territory over four quarters, and the first for condos: 60 sales during the quarter, 25% more than a year earlier.

Sector 3: Repentigny, L’Assomption and their neighbours. Repentigny is the most active territory in Lanaudière, with 819 sales over four quarters. In Le Gardeur, total active supply has nearly doubled (+93%). In L’Assomption, the single-family median over four quarters gains 10%, while sales for the quarter fall 25%.

Sector 4: Saint-Lin-Laurentides, Sainte-Julienne and Saint-Calixte. Medians well below those of Terrebonne or Repentigny: $495,000 in Saint-Lin-Laurentides, $440,700 in Sainte-Julienne and $322,500 in Saint-Calixte for the quarter.

Sector 5: Joliette, Lavaltrie and the centre of the region. In Joliette, 29 single-family homes sold during the quarter are not enough for a median; over four quarters, it is $449,250 (+6%). In Lavaltrie, sales rise 31%, with a median of $490,000.

Sector 6: Rawdon, Chertsey, Saint-Donat and the Matawinie. Long selling times over four quarters, 72 days in Saint-Donat and 62 in Chertsey, and tourist rental rules specific to each municipality. In Chertsey, since July 7, 2022, a new résidence de tourisme (tourist residence) requires an application for a conditional use, in a zone that allows it; in Rawdon, the certificate of authorization costs $1,250, then $1,000 for each annual renewal. Before buying a cottage to rent it out, read the short-term rental rules.

The Lanaudière real estate market this fall: the context

The policy rate. As of October 21, 2026, it stands at 2.25%, held by the Bank of Canada on September 2; the next announcement is scheduled for October 28. For the effect on your own rate, talk to a mortgage broker.

Transfer duties. The law allows a municipality to go above 1.5%, up to 3%, on the portion above $500,000. All eight municipalities checked do so: 3% in Terrebonne, Mascouche, Repentigny, L’Assomption, Joliette, Saint-Lin-Laurentides and Rawdon; 2%, 2.5% then 3% in tiers in Saint-Donat. For a $550,000 house, Repentigny calculates $7,110.50 in 2026. Yet the quarter’s single-family median ranges from $520,000 to $695,000 in the six territories of Terrebonne, Mascouche and Repentigny: in each one, at least half of the single-family homes sold exceed the threshold. The base can be higher than the price: it is the highest of the price paid, the price stated in the deed and the roll value multiplied by the comparative factor, 1 in Terrebonne and 1.19 in Rawdon in 2026. The welcome tax calculator redoes the math; your notary confirms the amount.

The commuter train. The exo 15 line connects Mascouche, Terrebonne and Repentigny stations to Côte-de-Liesse station, in Montreal. The schedule in force since January 12, 2026 provides 8 departures in each direction from Monday to Friday, and none on weekends or holidays.

Flood zones. The modernized provincial framework has applied since March 1, 2026; where no new-generation map has been published, the maps of the municipality or the MRC (regional county municipality) remain in force. The Environment ministry has entrusted the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM) with the new maps for its territory, including the Mascouche, L’Assomption and Achigan rivers. On July 30, 2026, the CMM wrote that the ministry was postponing the first batch “to an undetermined date”; that batch covers, among other areas, the banks of the Rivière des Mille Îles and of the St. Lawrence. As of October 21, 2026, no official page consulted announces that these maps have come into force. For a waterfront address, the checks are in buying in a flood zone in Quebec.

Population. According to the provisional estimate of the Institut de la statistique du Québec, Lanaudière grew by 15.7 per thousand between 2024 and 2025, the strongest growth of any region, reaching 569,300 residents as of July 1, 2025. That figure describes the population, not housing demand or prices.

What these figures do not tell you

A change compares two summers. Centris calculates its rates “compared with the same quarter of the previous year.”

A median is not the price of your house. A change in the median price is not the change in value of any given house: the mix of properties sold shifts from one quarter to the next. In Saint-Donat, the median is unchanged for the quarter and down 5% over four quarters. The APCIQ asks that its own statistics, drawn from Centris, be interpreted “with caution, especially when the number of transactions is low.” For a specific address, you start from comparable sales: see auditing your neighbour’s comparables.

Two sources, two figures. For Mascouche, the APCIQ barometer, also drawn from Centris, counts 104 single-family homes sold during the quarter (-2%), and the Centris page 104 (-1%). The tables in this article do not mix the two.

An APCIQ sector is not a Centris territory. The barometer’s “Terrebonne” sector includes Bois-des-Filion and Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, which Centris classifies in the Laurentides. Check the boundaries before comparing two figures.

The assessment roll is not the market. Terrebonne’s roll (2026-2028) reflects the market as of July 1, 2024, and Rawdon’s (2024-2026) the market as of July 1, 2022: not this summer’s prices.

Frequently asked questions

Where are houses cheapest in Lanaudière? In the third quarter of 2026, among the territories where Centris publishes a single-family median: Saint-Calixte ($322,500), then Rawdon ($404,450). Over four quarters, Saint-Calixte remains the lowest in the region, at $332,687.

Are prices falling in Lanaudière? The regional Centris medians are rising or holding steady in the third quarter of 2026: +4% for single-family homes, 0% for condos, +11% for plexes. The published declines are local, for example -15% for the quarter for condos in the Repentigny territory, and -5% over four quarters for single-family homes in Saint-Donat. These are measures of the past, not forecasts.

Does the Lanaudière market favour sellers? For single-family homes, the APCIQ barometer for the third quarter of 2026 classifies as “Seller” every price range in the five sectors that cover southern Lanaudière, except one: $790,000 and up in the Est de la Rive-Nord (East North Shore), at 8.5 months of inventory, “Balanced.” In the Joliette agglomeration, every range is “Seller,” from 1.0 to 4.6 months. Balance starts at 8 months. Rawdon, Saint-Donat and Berthierville have no page in the barometer, and therefore no APCIQ reading.

Why does Centris show no price for my municipality? Because there are too few sales there: Centris then displays two asterisks, “Insufficient number of transactions to produce a reliable statistic.” That is the case for the quarterly single-family median in 54 of the 67 territories, and 27 have none over four quarters either. These gaps cannot be filled in by calculation: the four-quarter total takes over when it exists, as in Chertsey ($369,000), and otherwise comparable sales do.
