Best month to sell a condo · Rimouski · Centris 2016-2025
The number of condos sold in Rimouski in each month of the year, and the price obtained against the trend, over ten years of Centris sales: the peak, the trough, spring versus winter, the best-paying month, the comparison with houses, and when to list to sell at the right time. Centris figures, not estimates.
In Rimouski, the month with the most condo sales is August: 10.7% of the 543 sales from 2016 to 2025, or 6 sales a year on average that month, against 3 in January, the quietest month (5.3%). Between peak and trough, the market turns 2.0 times faster, in line with the 41 cities tracked (median 2.0). On the price side, condos sold in July go 9.4% above the year's trend, those sold in November 7.2% below: a gap of 16.6 points between the best and the worst month, to be read with caution because the city has few condo sales per month. The best compromise between the number of buyers and the price obtained is March, which means listing from February. For a house in Rimouski, the peak falls in March: condos have their own calendar.

What it changes when selling or buying a condo in Rimouski
To sell a condo in Rimouski, aiming for the peak means listing before it: a unit put on the market at the end of June or early July gets its showings during the weeks with the most buyers, and the accepted offer lands in August. Condos have two clienteles that do not share a calendar: the first-time buyer, who looks in spring like everyone else, and the buyer who sells a house to downsize into a condo, who buys once the house is sold, often in summer or fall. The best-paying month is not necessarily the busiest: in July, condos go 9.4% above trend, while the sales peak is in August. For a buyer, January and the winter months offer less competition, sellers paying condo fees on an empty unit since the fall, but also less choice. And a price gap this wide between months comes mostly from the small number of sales and the mix of units (a month with two penthouses sends the median jumping): do not wait for June to sell if the condo is ready in January.
How to read these figures
Two measures from the same Centris query, same settings: Condominium category, whole municipality of Rimouski, by month over ten years. Sales are added by calendar month over 2016-2025 (543 sales); 2026 is left out because the year is not over. Prices are monthly medians compared with the year's trend, then averaged giving more weight to the months with more sales. A month with 3 sales a year on average, like January, gives a fragile median, all the more since a city's condos range from studios to penthouses: read the premiums as an order of magnitude.
