What ten years of sales say in Rimouski
- Bungalows rose faster than two-storey homes (+118% against +102%). That is the case in 31 of 51 cities: the single-storey home, rarer and sought by retirees and first-time buyers alike, commands its price.
- The second-floor premium melted: +26% in 2016, +17% in 2026. A well-located bungalow is catching up with the two-storey home.
- Bungalows are losing ground in sales: 81% of single-family homes sold in 2016, 73% in 2026. Almost none are built any more, and those who have one keep it.
- 2019 to 2022, the three rock-bottom-rate years: bungalows +56%, two-storey homes +78%.
- 2026 (January to September) versus 2025: bungalows 7.9% ($360,000 to $388,500), two-storey homes 1.1% ($450,000 to $455,000).
- Annual peaks: bungalow $388,500 in 2026, two-storey $455,000 in 2026. The bungalow fell in 2018.
Who the bungalow is for in Rimouski
In Rimouski, the bungalow is the typical home: 77% of sales over ten years. The stock dates from the 1960s to the 1980s; demand comes from retirees who no longer want stairs and from first-time buyers who want the lot. A bungalow seller in Rimouski therefore has two audiences; a buyer competes against both.
How to read these numbers
Both series come from the same Centris database with the same settings: Single-family category, "Single-storey" or "Two or more storey" type, closed sales, median sale price by year, with 2026 ending in September. The second-floor premium compares the two medians of the same year; it blends the effect of floor area (a second floor means more square feet) and of age (two-storey homes are newer). To position your home, ask for an evaluation: the Rimouski median knows neither your street nor your basement.
