The number of days it takes to sell a house in Rimouski, 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.

What ten years of delays say in Rimouski
- Four markets in ten years in Rimouski: 94 days at the median in 2016-2019, 23 during the 2020-2022 frenzy, 17 when high rates returned, 8 today.
- Slowest year: 2018 (113 days); fastest: 2026 (7 days). Between the two, the delay was divided by 16.
- The 2022-2023 rate hikes did not slow Rimouski: 23 days in 2021, 21 days in 2023, 7 days today. The shortage of homes for sale weighed more than the cost of credit.
- Condos sold faster than houses in 2022, 2023; in the other years, the house goes first. In 2026 the gap is 24 days in favour of the house.
- 2026 (January to September) versus 2025: 9 days then 7 days for houses, 264 sales against 385 over the whole of 2025.
- 3 years out of eleven at 15 days or less: 2024, 2025, 2026. Under 15 days, buyers have no time to compare; that is the case in 32 of 52 cities in 2026.
- Ten-year volume: 3,664 houses and 602 condos sold on Centris in Rimouski.
What it changes when selling or buying in Rimouski
At 7 days, Rimouski is a market where buyers have no time: showings cluster in the first week, offers arrive in bunches, and the price posted on day one decides everything. A seller who lists too high loses that first week, and a house that passes the three-week mark starts to look suspect. A buyer needs the pre-approval in hand before the first showing, not after. Condos, for their part, take 31 days: condo buyers have more choice, compare fees and buildings, and negotiate more than house buyers.
How to read these numbers
Two series from the same Centris database with the same settings: Single-family then Condominium category, closed sales, median days on market and number of sales by year, with 2026 ending in September. The clock runs from the listing going live to the accepted offer; a house withdrawn and relisted starts again at zero, which shortens the median compared with the QPAREB's average. Years with few sales move more; read the plateaus, not a single year.
