On October 14, 2026, the Quebec Professional Association of Real Estate Brokers (QPAREB) published the latest residential real estate market statistics, revealing that there were 20,935 residential sales in Quebec for the third quarter of 2026. This marks a decrease compared to previous quarters, indicating a potential shift in market dynamics. The data is sourced from the Centris provincial database, reflecting the activities of real estate brokers throughout the province.
In a related development, on October 15, 2026, QPAREB announced that it has come to an agreement with the Competition Bureau regarding the sharing of real estate data. This agreement is expected to enhance the ability of real estate brokers to provide comprehensive services to consumers interested in purchasing residential properties. By facilitating better data sharing, the agreement aims to increase transparency and efficiency within Quebec's real estate market.
The combined implications of these reports indicate that while the market is transitioning, it remains predominantly seller-friendly in many regions. The efforts by QPAREB to improve data sharing practices may further impact the market dynamics and service delivery in the coming months.
