Days on market · Drummondville · Centris 2016-2026
The number of days it takes to sell a house in Drummondville, 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 Drummondville, a house sells in 18 days at the median in 2026 (January to September): slower than most of the 52 cities tracked (rank 37 of 52, median 13 days), but far faster than ten years ago. In 2016 it took 82 days: the market changed its nature, not only its prices. A condo sells in 41 days, 23 more than a house. Compared with 2025 (29 days), the house delay is getting shorter.

What ten years of delays say in Drummondville
- Four markets in ten years in Drummondville: 78 days at the median in 2016-2019, 31 during the 2020-2022 frenzy, 32 when high rates returned, 24 today.
- Slowest year: 2016 (82 days); fastest: 2026 (18 days). Between the two, the delay was divided by 5.
- The 2022-2023 rate hikes did not slow Drummondville: 29 days in 2021, 28 days in 2023, 18 days today. The shortage of homes for sale weighed more than the cost of credit.
- Condos sold faster than houses in 2017, 2019; in the other years, the house goes first. In 2026 the gap is 23 days in favour of the house.
- 2026 (January to September) versus 2025: 29 days then 18 days for houses, 471 sales against 653 over the whole of 2025.
- 0 years out of eleven at 15 days or less: none. Under 15 days, buyers have no time to compare; that is the case in 32 of 52 cities in 2026.
- Ten-year volume: 5,347 houses and 353 condos sold on Centris in Drummondville.
What it changes when selling or buying in Drummondville
At 18 days, Drummondville gives buyers time to compare: they visit, come back, negotiate. The seller cannot count on a bidding war; they count on the right price, presentation and patience. It is not a slow market in the 2016 sense (82 days), but it is a market where a badly priced house stays listed. Condos, for their part, take 41 days: condo buyers have more choice, compare fees and buildings, and negotiate more than house buyers.
How to read these numbers
Centris's median days on market counts the days between a listing going live and the accepted offer, on closed sales; the median is the middle value, half the sales faster, the other half slower. 2026 covers January to September. A median is always shorter than an average when a few houses linger for months: the QPAREB publishes an average delay, longer by construction; both describe the same market with two rules.
