See how it works

Quebec City's condominium market has grown significantly over the past 15 years, with new towers rising in Saint-Roch, Sainte-Foy, and suburban areas. Condos now represent a substantial share of the market — appealing to first-time buyers, downsizers, investors, and those who prefer maintenance-free urban living.

Quebec City Condo Prices by Neighbourhood (2025)

Vieux-Québec/Montcalm: $380,000–$700,000+ (heritage units, premium)
Saint-Roch: $290,000–$450,000
Sainte-Foy: $280,000–$440,000
Limoilou/Vieux-Limoilou: $240,000–$360,000
Charlesbourg: $220,000–$330,000
Beauport: $230,000–$340,000
Lévis (all areas): $210,000–$330,000

New Construction Condos

New condo development is concentrated in:

Sainte-Foy: multiple mid-rise and high-rise towers near Laval University and the commercial corridor
Saint-Roch: conversions and new builds in the tech/creative district
Lévis: new condo towers in Saint-Romuald and near the ferry terminal

New construction condos typically command a 10–20% premium over comparable resale units due to lower condo fees initially, modern construction standards, and warranty coverage under Quebec's La Garantie de construction résidentielle (GCR).

Condo Fees in Quebec City

Monthly condo fees (charges de copropriété) vary by building age, amenities, and reserve fund requirements:

New mid-rise without amenities: $200–$350/month
Heritage building in Vieux-Québec: $350–$700/month
Building with pool, gym, concierge: $400–$700/month

Reserve fund warning: Quebec law requires condo corporations to maintain adequate reserve funds. Always request the most recent reserve fund study before buying a resale condo. Underfunded reserves mean special assessments (unexpected large lump-sum payments) could be coming. Your notary or inspector should flag any concerns.

Condo vs. Detached in Quebec City

The price gap between condos and detached homes in Quebec City is significant but less extreme than in Toronto or Vancouver. For buyers who don't need a yard and want to live in an urban neighbourhood, condos offer a compelling entry point that's often $100,000–$150,000 less than a detached home in the same area.

Welcome Tax on Quebec City Condos

Quebec's welcome tax (droits de mutation): 0.5% on the first $52,800, 1% from $52,800 to $264,000, and 1.5% on the amount above $264,000. Quebec City applies no additional municipal surtax — unlike Montreal which adds 3% above $500,000.
