What it changes when selling or buying in Saint-Hyacinthe
In Saint-Hyacinthe, the average ($534,446) and the median ($507,500) 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 6% 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 Saint-Hyacinthe.
How to read these figures
The average price adds up the prices of all single-family houses sold in the year and divides by their number; the median price is the middle one, half the sales above, half below. A few very expensive sales push the average up without touching the median: the gap between the two measures the weight of the high end. The median asking price is the median of the last listed prices of homes that sold; "sold vs asking" compares the two medians of the same year, which is not the same as the per-transaction ratio of our bidding-war page. 2026 (Jan. to Sep.) is a partial year.
