Best month to sell a condo · Saguenay · Centris 2016-2025
The number of condos sold in Saguenay 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 Saguenay, the month with the most condo sales is April: 11.6% of the 1,075 sales from 2016 to 2025, or 12 sales a year on average that month, against 5 in January, the quietest month (4.7%). Between peak and trough, the market turns 2.5 times faster, a more pronounced seasonality than in most of the 41 cities tracked (median 2.0). On the price side, condos sold in September go 12.4% above the year's trend, those sold in March 4.3% below: a gap of 16.7 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 April, which means listing from March. For a house in Saguenay, the peak falls in May: condos have their own calendar.

What it changes when selling or buying a condo in Saguenay
To sell a condo in Saguenay, aiming for the peak means listing before it: a unit put on the market at the end of February or early March gets its showings during the weeks with the most buyers, and the accepted offer lands in April. 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 September, condos go 12.4% above trend, while the sales peak is in April. 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
"Sales" counts the condominiums sold on Centris in Saguenay by the month the sale was concluded (accepted offer to purchase), not the notary signing date, which comes two to three months later. Each month's share is computed over the ten years 2016 to 2025 to smooth out the frenzy years and the quiet years. The "premium" compares the median price of the month's sales with the year's trend (a line drawn between the annual medians of condo prices in Saguenay): without this step, January would always look cheaper than December because of the continuous rise in prices. The house column comes from the same page for houses in Saguenay.
