Days on market · Châteauguay · Centris 2016-2026
The number of days it takes to sell a house in Châteauguay, year by year since 2016, set against condos: the decade's four markets, the slowest and fastest years, and what today's delay changes for a seller. Centris figures, not estimates.
In Châteauguay, a house sells in 16 days at the median in 2026 (January to September), in line with the 52 cities tracked (median 13 days, rank 33). In 2016 it took 71 days: the market changed its nature, not only its prices. A condo sells in 18 days, at the same pace as a house. Compared with 2025 (20 days), the house delay is getting shorter.

What ten years of delays say in Châteauguay
- Four markets in ten years in Châteauguay: 40 days at the median in 2016-2019, 17 during the 2020-2022 frenzy, 24 when high rates returned, 18 today.
- Slowest year: 2016 (71 days); fastest: 2021 (15 days). Between the two, the delay was divided by 5.
- The return of 5%-plus rates stretched the delay from 15 days in 2021 to 23 days in 2023, before it fell back to 16 days: the pause lasted two years, not ten.
- Condos sold faster than houses in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025; in the other years, the house goes first. In 2026 the gap is 2 days in favour of the house.
- 2026 (January to September) versus 2025: 20 days then 16 days for houses, 342 sales against 467 over the whole of 2025.
- 1 year out of eleven at 15 days or less: 2021. Under 15 days, buyers have no time to compare; that is the case in 32 of 52 cities in 2026.
- Ten-year volume: 5,540 houses and 930 condos sold on Centris in Châteauguay.
What it changes when selling or buying in Châteauguay
At 16 days, Châteauguay sits in the middle of the cities tracked: fast enough for the seller to keep the upper hand, slow enough for a buyer to visit twice. The day-one price matters, but a well-presented house finds a buyer without a systematic bidding war.
How to read these numbers
One median per year and per category, for all of Châteauguay: houses on one side, condos on the other. The clock starts when the listing goes live and stops at the accepted offer. The median tells the story of the typical house; it says nothing about the one that took six months or the one gone in two days. The QPAREB publishes an average delay, which is longer: not a contradiction, another calculation rule. For the current inventory, see buyer's or seller's market in Châteauguay.
