- 2026 (Jan. to Sep.) versus 2025: 18% then 23% failure (the rate is climbing: more overpriced homes are left on the shelf); 553 expired in nine months, or 737 at an annual pace (+16%, a simple projection). Across the 50 cities, the rate is climbing in 2026 in 36.

What it changes when selling or buying in Laval
At 23% failure, Laval is in line with the cities tracked: most homes sell, but about one in five goes back without a buyer, almost always over price. The average of 36 days against 14 days says the same thing: the typical home goes fast, the ones that linger pull the average up. For a seller, the right price on day one keeps you out of the expired column. The past twelve months' withdrawn listings, one by one, and the asking price they showed are in houses that do not sell in Laval.
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 Laval; new listings from homes for sale in Laval. 2026 (Jan. to Sep.) is a partial year.
