What it changes when selling or buying in Rimouski
In Rimouski, the average ($417,950) and the median ($395,000) nearly touch: the housing stock is homogeneous, few homes stand out at the top. The average is therefore a good benchmark for a buyer comparing cities, and negotiation plays out over a few percent around the asking price, not over the type of house. For a seller, listing 0% above what you hope to get matches the observed negotiating margin. The sale price relative to the asking price, transaction by transaction, is in sold over asking in Rimouski.
How to read these figures
Two measures from the same Centris query, same settings: Single-family category, whole municipality, by year over ten years; the median price and sales come from our page home prices in Rimouski. The average moves with every exceptional sale; the median does not. In a small city, three sales above a million are enough to make a year's average jump: read the gap over several years, not one. The median asking price covers only homes that eventually sold; expired listings, often listed higher, are not in it.
