Mirabel Real Estate Market: Q3 2026

In the third quarter of 2026, Centris recorded 173 residential sales in Mirabel, 15% fewer than in summer 2025, and a median price of $650,000 for single-family homes, up 11%. Over the last four quarters, with 918 sales, Mirabel ranks second among the Laurentides territories that Centris tracks, behind Saint-Jérôme.

The Mirabel real estate market by the numbers

One city, one block of data. Mirabel was created in 1971 from the merger of 14 municipalities and parts of municipalities. Today it has 13 sectors spread over 486 km², including Saint-Janvier, Saint-Canut, Domaine-Vert Nord, Mirabel-en-Haut, Saint-Augustin, Saint-Benoît and Sainte-Scholastique. Yet Centris publishes Mirabel as a single block, with no page per sector, and the APCIQ barometer treats it as a single sector, number 26.

Over four quarters, Mirabel counts 918 sales (-6%), compared with 1,146 in Saint-Jérôme and 849 in Blainville, or about 9% of the 10,236 sales in the Laurentides (918 divided by 10,236). In the third quarter alone, however, Blainville (185 sales) comes out ahead of Mirabel. Changes compare with the same quarter of 2025; the change in days on market is expressed in days.

Of the 83 Laurentides territories that Centris tracks, only three have a published quarterly median price for condominiums: Mirabel, Saint-Jérôme ($319,250) and Mont-Tremblant ($370,000). Everywhere else, Blainville included, there are too few transactions.

For the 14 plexes sold in the quarter, Centris publishes no change, no median price and no selling time: there are too few transactions for a reliable statistic. Hence the row for the last four quarters.

What changed in a year

Fewer sales, more choice. Sales are down 15% while new listings are up 23%. For single-family homes, active listings rose 26% and the selling time lengthened by 12 days; for condos, by 29% and 10 days.

The median price is rising anyway. Over four quarters, the single-family median reaches $647,750 (+8%). A change in the median price does not, however, measure the change in value of any given house: the mix of properties sold shifts from one quarter to the next, all the more so in a city that combines recent developments and rural rangs.

What the APCIQ says. For single-family homes in Mirabel, over 12 months, its barometer counts 2.8 to 3.0 months of inventory in each price range under $970,000, which it describes as favourable to sellers, and 10.0 months at $970,000 and above, a range it classifies as favouring buyers. Its figures differ slightly from those of Centris; this article does not mix the two sources.

The regional context. Across the Laurentides as a whole, sales fell less (-5%) and active listings rose 15%. The Bank of Canada’s policy rate remains at 2.25% as of October 19, 2026; the next announcement is scheduled for October 28.

A growing city: what the data shows

Population. According to the Institut de la statistique du Québec, Mirabel had 62,014 residents on July 1, 2021 and 68,471 in 2025, a provisional figure. Calculated from these numbers, growth reaches 10.4% in four years, compared with 5.6% for the Laurentides region and 5.7% for Quebec as a whole.

Construction. From January to September 2026, CMHC counted 385 housing starts in Mirabel, compared with 468 a year earlier and 822 for all of 2025. By intended market: 294 rental apartments, 91 freehold homes, including 60 row houses, and no condominiums, compared with 24 over the same period in 2025. A housing start is not a delivered home: 763 units were under construction at the end of September.

Rentals, with no local rate. For October 2025, the most recent survey, CMHC publishes no vacancy rate for Mirabel, nor for its zone, “Mirabel/Oka/Pointe-Calumet etc.”

The agricultural zone and zoning

87% of the territory. According to the City, 87% of its territory is reserved for agricultural activities; its 2016 schéma d’aménagement (land use and development plan) puts the permanent agricultural zone at 87.4%, the highest share among the MRCs of the couronne Nord, the northern ring of Greater Montreal.

What this changes for a buyer. In the agricultural zone, the Loi sur la protection du territoire et des activités agricoles (Act respecting the preservation of agricultural land and agricultural activities, sections 26 and 55) prohibits using a lot for any purpose other than agriculture without the authorization of the CPTAQ (Quebec’s agricultural land protection commission), except as provided by regulation. An existing house may rest on an acquired right (section 101), in principle limited to the area already used for another purpose. Section 101.2, added in 2025, prohibits adding a dwelling or an additional residence there, unless a regulatory exception applies or the Commission authorizes it. An intergenerational project in a rural sector should therefore be checked with the notary before making an offer. The rest is in buying vacant land in Quebec.

Municipal wells. The City has had protection areas delineated around its wells, including an immediate area with a 30-metre radius, with some exceptions. Septic systems, land spreading, livestock buildings and petroleum product tanks are targeted there: regulated or prohibited, depending on the area and the vulnerability of the aquifer. A City map lets you check an address.

Zoning on the move. On September 28, 2026, council adopted draft by-law PU-2717, which amends zoning by-law U-2300 across the entire territory. The public notice speaks mostly of minor corrections, but the draft would also repeal the section on building near a power transmission line and the one on enlarging certain non-conforming uses. It contains provisions subject to approval by referendum. Planning to enlarge a property with a non-conforming use? First ask the Service de l’aménagement et de l’urbanisme (the City’s planning department) where this by-law stands.

What is moving in Mirabel: power line, Highway 15, train station

A 315 kV line under study. According to Hydro-Québec, Mirabel and Saint-Jérôme are experiencing “croissance fulgurante” (soaring growth), and substations in both cities are running at full capacity. The utility plans a line of about 8 km between the Lafontaine substation, in Saint-Canut, and a new Rolland substation, in Saint-Jérôme, along the Route 158 corridor. The route proposed in September 2026 is not final, and a public meeting was called for October 20. Preliminary schedule: work from 2029 to 2032, commissioning in 2032. Near Route 158, consult the map of route options before making an offer.

Highway 15. Since December 2025, a first stretch of about 7 km of reserved lane for carpooling and public transit has been open northbound, from boulevard de la Seigneurie Ouest, in Blainville, to Highway 50, in Mirabel. Quebec’s Ministère des Transports plans to open the full 15 km at the end of 2027.

The train station. Mirabel station, on exo’s line 12 Saint-Jérôme, is on rue Victor in the Saint-Janvier sector, in fare zone C, with 333 parking spaces.

Selling or buying in Mirabel: what the figures change

Selling. Your house goes up against 180 listed single-family homes (+26%), your condo against 92 condominiums (+29%). The city’s median price does not set the price of your address: with 13 sectors rolled into a single figure, only recent sales of the same type of property, in the same sector, can justify it. Real estate comparables: auditing your neighbour’s price explains how to read them.

Buying: the welcome tax. Since July 1, 2021 (by-law 2455), Mirabel taxes the portion above $500,000 separately, at 3% in 2026. Using the City’s 2026 brackets, a house bought for $650,000 generates $10,110.50 in transfer duties, if that price serves as the tax base; the City itself publishes $8,610.50 for $600,000. A bill of at least $300 is paid in two instalments. Run the numbers for your price with the transfer duties calculator.

Buying: the tax bill. For 2026, the tax rate is 31.7¢ per $100 of assessment (28¢ for agricultural properties), the new “Infracenne” adds half a cent per $100 for residential properties, and the water tax rises to $292 per dwelling unit. Ask for the actual tax bill of the property you are considering.

Radon. Since September 1, 2026, the City has offered residential owners a $30 rebate on a radon detector bought on the website of the Association pulmonaire du Québec (Quebec’s lung association), once per address and only to the first 200 applicants.

Buying a plex. Over four quarters, 72 plexes sold, at a median price of $841,312. The 294 rental units started in 2026 and the absence of a local vacancy rate are data to factor into your rent assumptions, not forecasts.

Frequently asked questions

Are prices falling in Mirabel? Not the median prices for the third quarter of 2026, according to Centris: +11% for single-family homes and +4% for condos. What is falling is the number of sales (-15%).

Why are there no figures for Saint-Janvier or Saint-Canut? Centris and the APCIQ treat Mirabel as a single territory. For a specific sector, you have to start from comparable sales, one by one.

Is Mirabel a seller’s market? The APCIQ gives no verdict for the city as a whole. For single-family homes, over 12 months, it describes the ranges under $970,000 as favourable to sellers and classifies the $970,000 and above range as favouring buyers.

Will the future Hydro-Québec line pass near my home? The proposed route, which starts in Saint-Canut and follows the Route 158 corridor, is not final. The map of route options is on Hydro-Québec’s project page.
