The 1019 Report

For the first time ever, the average price of a single-family home sold in Vaudreuil-Soulanges has topped the $600,000 mark, as the cost of real estate in this region continues to accelerate upward faster than in most areas of the province – including the island of Montreal – according to the latest data released by the Quebec Professional Association of Real Estate Brokers.

The average price of a single-family home in the 1019 region hit $629,750 last month, which represents an 8-per-cent hike compared with the same month in 2024.

This jump has pushed up the cost of a home in this region a staggering 57.4 per cent since the pandemic lockdowns in 2020, the second-largest rate of increase in the Greater Montreal area, and just below the provincial average.

The pace of increase in the cost of a single-family home in Vaudreuil-Soulanges ranked behind only the prices recorded in the North Shore of Montreal – an area that includes Mirabel, St. Jerome and the lower Laurentians – which saw prices catapult upward by 68.6 per cent since the COVID lockdowns. The average price for a single-family home across the province, gained 69.5 per cent since 2020, while on the island of Montreal, the prices in that five-year period jumped 34.7 per cent, statistics from the provincial real estate board show.

And price increases are not showing any sign of slowing in this region. In fact, the rate of increase is accelerating. In the first four months of 2025, the average price of a single-family home in Vaudreuil-Soulanges last month rose 9 per cent, or $52,250 more, compared to the $577,500 average price in January.

And that rate of increase is pushing upward faster here than in other regions. In comparison, the average house price on the island of Montreal jumped just over 1 per cent in the first four months of 2025, representing a $8,500 increase in the selling price. Province-wide, the average price of a single-family home shot up 7.4 per cent in the same timeframe, or $34,500.

But this is not a new trend. Prices have been increasing at a rapid pace in the post-pandemic period. To illustrate just how steeply prices have been heading north since COVID, the average selling price for a single-family home in Vaudreuil-Soulanges hit the $500,000 mark for the first time in April 2021. It hit $600,000 in February 2022 before dropping in 2023 to an average of $550,000. Last year, the average price was $575,000.

Another measure pointing to just how much the local real estate market is heating up so far this year is the jump in the number of units sold. A total of 549 homes exchanged owners in Vaudrueil-Soulanges in the first four months of 2025, a 23-per-cent increase from the 446 in the same four-month period in 2024.

And the trend is showing that they are selling faster compared with 2024, as houses have only lingering an average of 54 days on the market so far this year. Looking at all of last year, the average selling time was 61 days.
