How much does it cost to sell a house?
Free listing, package or broker: what each path costs for a house in your area, and why the final price matters as much as the fees.
Example for a house sold for $450,000 in the Quebec City area, before taxes on the fees.
The final price matters as much as the fees
Between the Ubee package at $1,449 and a broker at 3.6%, the average commission on Ubee*, the difference in fees is about $14,751, or 3.3% of the price. If selling on your own got you 3.3% less, those savings would be gone: the price, the listing and the negotiation decide the outcome.
Depending on how you sell
What you'll have left
Selling costs are only part of the math. From the sale price you also subtract the balance of your mortgage, the penalty if you pay it off before the end of the term, the discharge fees and other costs.
* Average of the broker quotes received on Ubee for a house in the Quebec City area (2.8% to 4.4%). House price: close to the median price of the single-family homes sold in Quebec City in the third quarter of 2026, according to the APCIQ. For another area, see ubee.com/en/broker-commissions.
