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.

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.
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.
