Mascouche Real Estate Market: Q3 2026

In Mascouche, a single-family home sold in the third quarter of 2026 stayed on the market for 25 days on average, compared with 43 for Lanaudière as a whole: no territory in the region for which Centris publishes this figure posts a shorter time. Residential sales in the city rose 5% while those in the region fell 10%. Here are those figures, what is changing in the city, and what they mean for anyone selling or buying.

The Mascouche real estate market by the numbers

For Centris, Mascouche forms a single territory, with 51,183 residents in the 2021 census. From July to September 2026, 168 residential sales were concluded there (+5%) and 253 new listings were signed (+13%). Each percentage compares with the same period a year earlier; the change in days on market is expressed in days.

With four plexes sold, Centris considers the number of transactions insufficient and publishes neither a price nor a selling time. The 30 sales over the last four quarters are the only reference point, and it is a thin one.

Mascouche compared with Terrebonne, Repentigny and Lanaudière

The shortest selling time in the region. Among the Lanaudière territories where Centris publishes the single-family selling time, Mascouche is the only one under 30 days; Lavaltrie follows at 30, La Plaine at 31. In the three neighbours in the table, the selling time grew by 5 to 12 days in one year. In Mascouche, it shortened by 5.

A median house between Repentigny and Terrebonne. At $600,000, the median price is close to that of the Repentigny sector and stays below those of Terrebonne and Lachenaie. Lanaudière’s median, lower, mixes the urban ring with the rural municipalities of the north: it is a reference point, not a comparable.

Volume is holding. Over four quarters, Mascouche’s 795 residential sales (-2%) put it in second place among the Centris territories of Lanaudière, behind the Repentigny sector (819). Centris does, however, split Terrebonne into three territories and Repentigny into two.

More condos sold than next door. Mascouche’s 60 condo sales exceed those of the Repentigny sector (49) and the Terrebonne sector (42). The condo median price, $387,500, sits between those of Repentigny ($320,000, -15%) and Terrebonne ($442,000).

What changed in a year

Supply is rising faster than sales. Active listings, all categories combined, are up 29%. For condos, 84 units were listed (+37%) and the selling time reached 43 days, 9 more than in summer 2025.

Median prices. Single-family homes gained 3% and condos 6%. A change in the median price does not measure the change in value of any particular house: from one quarter to the next, it is not the same properties that sell.

Single-family homes favour sellers, according to the APCIQ. For its sector 30, Mascouche, the third-quarter barometer measures, over 12 months, 2.0 to 4.9 months of inventory depending on the single-family price range, all classified “Seller”; a balanced market begins at 8 months. Its quarterly figures differ slightly from those of Centris (104 sales at -2%, 26 days): the tables follow Centris.

The policy rate. As of October 21, 2026, the Bank of Canada’s policy rate is 2.25%, unchanged since October 29, 2025; the next announcement is on October 28.

2026 taxes and transfer duties

The average bill. According to the 2026 budget simulation, the average tax bill for a residence rises from $3,690 to $3,818, or $128 more; the City puts the increase at 3.44%.

An assessment based on 2023. The 2025-2026-2027 assessment roll reflects the market as of July 1, 2023. Under the rule the City describes, the next one, 2028-2029-2030, will reflect the market as of July 1, 2026. No City page consulted on October 21, 2026 publishes the average change in the roll now in force.

New in 2026: impervious surfaces. Since January 1, a tax targets the impervious surface of a lot: its area minus that of the building and of green space. The rate is progressive, a first tier is exempt, and the tax decreases or disappears the year after the lot is greened. I found neither the text of by-law 1350 nor its rates online: for a property with a large paved driveway, ask the seller for the 2026 tax bill.

Transfer duties above $500,000. Mascouche applies 3% to the portion above $500,000, instead of 1.5%: the ceiling the law allows municipalities other than Montreal. With a median house at $600,000, at least half of the single-family homes sold this summer were above that threshold. In the City’s example, a $560,000 property generates $7,410.50 in duties, including $1,800 for the $60,000 above $500,000, compared with $900 at the provincial rate. The welcome tax calculator, set to “Other Quebec municipality”, applies the provincial brackets: in Mascouche, add 1.5 percentage points on the portion above $500,000.

The A-640 ramp, the train and housing starts

A new A-640 exit under construction. On July 8, 2026, the City announced that it had obtained from the Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable (Quebec’s transport ministry) the authorization certificate for a westbound ramp off Highway 640 toward avenue de l’Esplanade. It is an exit only, not an entrance. According to the project page, work began in August 2026 and the ramp is scheduled to open in summer 2027; the capital expenditure program sets aside $5,675,000 for it in 2026. No source measures the effect of a highway ramp on the price of nearby houses.

The train, weekdays only. Mascouche is the terminus of exo’s line 15, in fare zone C. According to the schedule in effect since January 2026, eight trains leave for Montreal from Monday to Friday, five of them before 9 a.m., and none on weekends. The capital expenditure program also sets aside $8,730,000 from 2026 to 2028 to redevelop avenue de la Gare.

More housing starts than in Terrebonne. From January to September 2026, CMHC recorded 308 housing starts in Mascouche, including 280 apartments, compared with 272 a year earlier; that is more than in Terrebonne (208) and Repentigny (129). In October 2025, Mascouche’s rental vacancy rate was 3.3%, a figure CMHC advises using with caution.

Water: flood zones and heavy rain

The river. Zoning by-law 1103, consolidated in September 2026, still delineates flood zones using the maps of the MRC Les Moulins and of the Centre d’expertise hydrique, and the flood elevations of the Mascouche River. In case of contradiction, the elevation prevails; the exact boundary is established by a land surveyor (arpenteur-géomètre), at the owner’s expense.

The new maps will have to wait. The Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM) has prepared new-generation maps for 14 bodies of water, including the Mascouche River. Its first batch, which does not name the river, was to take effect on August 1, 2026; on July 30, the CMM was protesting its postponement “to an undetermined date.” Until then, the old maps remain fully valid.

The risk no map shows. Marked by the flooding from storm Debby in 2024, the City adopted its first Plan de résilience climatique (climate resilience plan) in June 2026. Since June 17, a grant reimburses 75% of eligible expenses before taxes for protection against flooding caused by heavy rain, up to $1,500 per address: $250 for a preventive inspection, $400 for a backwater valve, $600 for a sump pump, $700 for a backup battery or backup pump. The 2026 budget for the program is $100,000, first come, first served. On this equipment, read spring melt and water infiltration in the basement.

Selling or buying in Mascouche

Selling a house. An average selling time of 25 days summarizes completed sales; it says nothing about the houses that found no buyer. Your property arrives among 111 single-family homes listed for sale (+35%). A price is defended with recent sales of the same type of house in the same neighbourhood, not with the median: see real estate comparables: auditing your neighbour’s price.

Selling a condo. Sales climbed 25%, but so did supply, and the selling time is getting longer. The 280 apartments started since January are not necessarily condos: CMHC does not distinguish here between condominiums and rental units.

Buying. Three checks specific to Mascouche before making an offer: the actual 2026 tax bill, to spot the impervious surface tax; transfer duties at 3% above $500,000, to plan for in cash; and the history of water in the basement, including whether there is a backwater valve and, near the river, the applicable flood elevation. For insurance, the answer comes from your insurer.
