Buyer's or seller's · Laval · Centris 2026
How many homes are for sale in Laval, how many arrive, how many leave, and what that means in months of inventory. Twelve months of Centris figures, not an impression.
In Laval, the market remains a seller's market: 3.1 months of inventory (12-month median), under the 4-month threshold. In Aug. 2026, the last complete month, 778 single-family homes were for sale against 173 sales in the month, or 4.5 months of inventory: on that month alone, it tips into a balanced market.

For a seller in Laval
With 3.1 months of inventory, a seller in Laval has few competitors: a median of 752 active homes for 223 sales a month. The asking price must stay accurate, because it is what triggers multiple showings; a median of 16 days to sell means a home past 32 days is already sending a signal.
For a buyer in Laval
For a buyer, 752 homes for sale at any time is not much: get pre-approved, visit within 48 hours and write a clean offer. Our page on negotiating in Laval shows how much buyers actually get.
How to read these numbers
Months of inventory divide the active listings at month end by the sales of the same month: the time it would take to sell everything if nothing new came to market. Under 4 months, brokers speak of a seller's market; between 4 and 6, a balanced market; above 6, a buyer's market. The QPAREB, which works at the scale of metropolitan areas, sets balance higher (8 to 10 months): at the scale of a city like Laval, the 4- and 6-month thresholds better describe what sellers and buyers experience. January mechanically inflates the figure (few sales), spring deflates it: read the 12-month median, not a single month.
