Market context: house in Sainte-Foy
The Sainte-Foy/Sillery/Cap-Rouge neighbourhood recorded 49 sales in March 2026, with a median price of $656,000 and an average price of $723,267. This neighbourhood commands a significant premium over the city of Québec as a whole, trading 26.9% above the city's trailing twelve-month median of $517,000, reflecting the area's established desirability and residential character relative to the broader market. The average days on market stands at 37 days, indicating a moderately paced sales cycle. This timeframe suggests a reasonably balanced market dynamic where homes are neither lingering nor moving with exceptional urgency, allowing both buyers and sellers adequate time for deliberation and negotiation within a typical marketing window. Among the 44 documented sales with available asking-price data, the average sale-to-asking price ratio was 1.061, meaning homes sold on average 6.1% above their listed asking price. This metric reveals that sellers maintained meaningful leverage during negotiations, with buyer demand sufficiently strong to push final prices above initial ask in the typical transaction. The neighbourhood's building stock reflects its established character. Approximately 53% of the 49 recorded sales involved homes built before 1980, while 39% were constructed between 1980 and 2010, and 8% were built after 2010. This composition indicates a mature neighbourhood with a solid foundation of older properties alongside mid-period residential development and a smaller newer component. In 49% of sales, transactions were concluded without a legal warranty of quality, a proportion that reflects standard real estate practice. Buyers in such transactions typically proceed with customary due diligence, including professional inspections and standard title checks, to verify property condition and legal standing—routine steps in most residential purchases. For buyers, this neighbourhood offers established appeal and stable pricing relative to Québec's broader market, though the significant six-month median price decline of 37.5% warrants careful valuation analysis. For sellers, the current buyer premium on asking prices and moderate market pace provide reasonable conditions for marketing and closing transactions.
