Quebec Welcome Tax (Droits de mutation) on this price: about $5,959 on the provincial base schedule (many municipalities charge more on the portion above $500,000). It is billed by the municipality a few months after closing and paid in cash. An eligible first-time buyer can recover up to $5,240 of it afterwards through Quebec’s refundable homeownership tax credit.
Qualifying: lenders test your income at 6.49% (the higher of your rate + 2% or 5.25%), not at 4.49%, so the qualifying payment above is the one your income must support, together with property tax, heating and other debts. Run your own numbers in the affordability calculator.
Is a 7-year fixed right for you in Quebec?
Who it suits: Borrowers who prize maximum stability, often those on fixed incomes, in long-term homes, or who simply never want to think about renewal for seven years. It can make sense when longer rates are low and you expect future rates to be higher.
What drives the rate, and what breaking it costs
What drives the rate. Tied to the 7-year bond, this term usually prices above the 5-year because lenders charge for the longer commitment. It becomes compelling mainly when the yield curve is flat or inverted and the premium over the 5-year is small.
Breaking it early. A longer term means a longer IRD window, so breaking a 7-year fixed early can be expensive, though Canadian rules cap the IRD method after five years for some lenders, a nuance worth confirming in writing.
A niche term for stability-seekers; modest availability. You pay a premium and accept a larger break cost for two extra years of certainty.

Quebec lenders and closing costs
Top Quebec lenders to compare. Quebec’s 7-year fixed pricing is shaped by a distinct lender mix: Desjardins, National Bank, RBC, Scotiabank, Laurentian Bank and others all bid for files here, and we shop the whole panel on one application. Foreign-buyer rules: Federal foreign-buyer ban applies (extended to 2027). Quebec does not have its own NRST.
Closing costs. On top of the rate, budget for quebec welcome tax (droits de mutation) — tiered: 0.5% to $62,900, 1% to $315,000, then 1.5% — plus whatever rate the municipality sets above $500,000, capped at 3% for every city except Montréal. Billed by the city months AFTER closing, not collected on it. Quebec's refundable tax credit for access to homeownership, new for 2026 and retroactive to 1 January, reimburses eligible first-time buyers 100% of the first $5,000 of transfer duties plus 25% of the next $3,500 — up to $5,875. It is reduced progressively above a $750,000 home value and is nil at $1,000,000, and it arrives as a tax credit afterwards rather than as a discount at closing.

It can make sense when longer rates are low and you expect future rates to be higher. You pay a premium and accept a larger break cost for two extra years of certainty.
How does breaking a 7-year fixed mortgage work?

What land transfer tax will I pay in Quebec?
Tiered: 0.5% to $62,900, 1% to $315,000, then 1.5% — plus whatever rate the municipality sets above $500,000, capped at 3% for every city except Montréal. Billed by the city months AFTER closing, not collected on it. Quebec's refundable tax credit for access to homeownership, new for 2026 and retroactive to 1 January, reimburses eligible first-time buyers 100% of the first $5,000 of transfer duties plus 25% of the next $3,500 — up to $5,875.

The municipal rate above $500,000 is where Quebec cities diverge, and by a lot: Laval, Brossard, Gatineau and Sherbrooke charge 3%; Longueuil charges 3% but not until $630,100; Québec City steps through 2.5% between $500,000 and $750,000 first; and Montréal — the only municipality the Act permits above 3% — runs 2% from $552,300, 2.5% from $1,104,700, 3.5% from $2,136,500 and 4% above $3,113,000.
