What it changes when selling or buying in Drummondville
At 27% failure, Drummondville is a city where listing too high is costly: nearly one listing in four ends without a sale, and a home that expires comes back on the market with a history and a price to cut. For a seller, the starting price should be that of the latest comparable sales, not the municipal assessment or the neighbour who sold in 2021. For a buyer, homes listed for more than 40 days are the ones where negotiation has a chance. The past twelve months' withdrawn listings, one by one, and the asking price they showed are in houses that do not sell in Drummondville.
How to read these figures
"Expired listings" counts, for each year, the single-family house listings whose brokerage contract reached its end without a sale, as recorded on Centris; cancellations and early withdrawals are not included, which makes this count a floor. The failure rate divides expired listings by the sum of expired listings and sales of the same year. Average days is the mean days on market of closed sales; median days come from days on market in Drummondville; new listings from homes for sale in Drummondville. 2026 (Jan. to Sep.) is a partial year.
