Amqui is a charming town located in the Matapédia Valley, at the junction of the Humqui and Matapédia rivers, in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region. The town is the gateway to the Gaspé Peninsula and takes its name from the Mi’kmaq word meaning “where we have fun” or “place of fun and pleasure,” a name that perfectly reflects the welcoming spirit of this community.

Amqui’s economy is closely linked to forestry, a sector that has shaped the region’s identity for over a century. The town also benefits from a growing tourism industry, taking advantage of its strategic location in the magnificent Matapédia Valley. Visitors can enjoy salmon fishing, water sports, golf, or explore the many hiking and mountain biking trails.

The Amqui real estate market offers excellent value for money with a relatively stable inventory of available properties. The local market mainly offers single-family homes and properties with land, reflecting the more rural character of the municipality. Unlike large urban centers, Amqui’s real estate market has not experienced a major price surge, which keeps it accessible for first-time buyers and families. Areas near the city center and those close to the Humqui and Matapédia rivers are generally more sought after, while remaining affordable compared to provincial standards.
