What the gap says in Sainte-Julie
- The stickiest bracket: $800,000 to $1M, 8 days in median but 24 days on average, 3.2 times. Half the houses go fast there; the other half includes listings that wait for months, enough to pull the average 16 days above the median.
- The most even bracket: $1M and up, 2.3 times (21 days in median, 48 days on average). Few houses are left behind there: the market decides fast either way.
- Brackets where many houses linger (ratio of 2.5 and up): $800,000 to $1M. That is where a poorly prepared or overpriced listing sits for months without an offer while the others go in two weeks.
- Across the 50 cities tracked, the typical house sells in 15 days in median of cities, the average sale takes 34 days: ratio 2.3; by bracket, under $300,000 1.9; $300,000 to $500,000 2.4; $500,000 to $800,000 2.4; $800,000 to $1M 1.9; $1M and up 2.3. The stickiest bracket is most often $300,000 to $500,000 (17 cities), the most even $800,000 to $1M (16 cities); 15 cities have a ratio of 2.5 and up all sales, 1 a ratio under 1.5.
And over the year: the annual series
Over the year 2026 (January to September), our annual series gives 20 days of average days and 7 days of median days all ranges in Sainte-Julie, a ratio of 2.9; the twelve months on this page (October 2025 to September 2026) give 2.5. The two windows only partly overlap; what this page adds is the bracket: the ratio is not the same at every price.
What it changes for selling or buying in Sainte-Julie
In Sainte-Julie, two markets live in the same city: the well-listed house goes in 8 days, and a minority of listings stay long enough to carry the average to 19 days. For a seller, the danger is to believe one is in the average: the median is the true timing of a house at market price; the average is the timing of those that missed their entry (price too high, weak photos, off-season launch) and that end up selling after one or two cuts, when they sell. In $800,000 to $1M, it is the bracket not to miss on day one. For a buyer, lingering houses are where an offer below asking has the best odds: they show by their days on market, well beyond the bracket's median. Median days by bracket, alone, are in days on market by price in Sainte-Julie; average and median year by year, with expired listings, in houses that do not sell in Sainte-Julie; days on market over ten years, in days on market in Sainte-Julie.
How to read these figures
One table for all of Sainte-Julie, over twelve months, single-family houses only. Days are counted between listing and the accepted offer, for sold houses; those that expired or were withdrawn without selling are not included, which is why the average still understates the time of the houses that truly linger. Both timings are read with the number of sales beside them: 169 sales in $500,000 to $800,000 give a measure, a bracket with 16 sales an indication. Reading grid, the same on all our pages: a ratio under 1.5 = even timing (the average sticks to the median); 1.5 to 2.5 = a few houses linger; 2.5 and up = many houses linger a long time before selling.
Frequently asked questions
How long to sell in Sainte-Julie: the average or the median?
Both are true in Sainte-Julie: 8 days in median, 19 days on average, over the past 12 months (October 2025 to September 2026). The median is the timing of the typical house; the average is pulled up by the houses that linger. The ratio of 2.5 (many houses linger) says by how much.
In which price bracket do houses linger the most in Sainte-Julie?
$800,000 to $1M: 8 days in median, 24 days on average, a ratio of 3.2. Across the 50 cities tracked, the stickiest bracket is most often $300,000 to $500,000 (17 cities).
Why do some houses linger in Sainte-Julie?
Three causes come back: a starting price above the bracket's comparable sales, a weak launch (photos, description, availability for showings) and an off-season entry. The market does not punish at once: it ignores, then the house cuts its price and sells after months, which inflates the average. In Sainte-Julie, the $800,000 to $1M bracket is where it happens the most. The share of listings that never close at all is in houses that do not sell in Sainte-Julie.
Are these figures Centris counts or estimates?
Yes: average days on market and median days on market by range come from Centris (Matrix), on the sales of the past twelve months. The ratio between the two is a simple quotient; the reading grid (1.5 and 2.5) is ours, the same on every page. Brackets group the ranges by weighting with the sales of the same period, which is an average of averages: a faithful order of magnitude, not a sale-by-sale recalculation.
