Days on market · Varennes · Centris 2016-2026
The number of days it takes to sell a house in Varennes, 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 Varennes, a house sells in 9 days at the median in 2026 (January to September): one of the fastest markets among the 52 cities tracked (rank 13 of 52, median 13 days). In 2016 it took 32 days: the market changed its nature, not only its prices. A condo sells in 8 days, at the same pace as a house. Compared with 2025 (7 days), the house delay is getting longer.

What ten years of delays say in Varennes
- Four markets in ten years in Varennes: 32 days at the median in 2016-2019, 8 during the 2020-2022 frenzy, 18 when high rates returned, 8 today.
- Slowest year: 2018 (49 days); fastest: 2021 (7 days). Between the two, the delay was divided by 7.
- The return of 5%-plus rates stretched the delay from 7 days in 2021 to 16 days in 2023, before it fell back to 9 days: the pause lasted two years, not ten.
- Condos sold faster than houses in 2020, 2021, 2024, 2026; in the other years, the house goes first. In 2026 the gap is 1 day in favour of the condo.
- 2026 (January to September) versus 2025: 7 days then 9 days for houses, 121 sales against 147 over the whole of 2025.
- 4 years out of eleven at 15 days or less: 2021, 2022, 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: 1,673 houses and 531 condos sold on Centris in Varennes.
What it changes when selling or buying in Varennes
At 9 days, Varennes 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.
How to read these numbers
One median per year and per category, for all of Varennes: 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 Varennes.
