What ten years of expired listings say in Saint-Lambert
- Four markets in ten years in Saint-Lambert: 26% failure on average in 2016-2019, 16% during the 2020-2022 frenzy, 30% when high rates returned, 28% today. Average days: 75, 34, 56 and 45.
- Peak of expired listings: 2016 (79); trough: 2021 (19), -76% between the two. Highest failure rate: 2016 (38%); lowest: 2021 (12%).
- The return of high rates: 12% failure in 2021, 35% in 2023, 27% in 2025. The market regained selectivity without returning to 2016.
- On the year's new listings: 38% of homes listed in 2016 saw their listing expire the same year, 25% in 2025. One home in five or more did not find a buyer within the year: the asking price does the sorting.
- Average versus median: 85 days against 53 days in 2016, 44 days against 17 days in 2026. The gap (32 then 27 days) measures the weight of houses lingering for months: it has barely moved.
- 2026 (Jan. to Sep.) versus 2025: 27% then 30% failure (the rate is climbing: more overpriced homes are left on the shelf); 43 expired in nine months, or 57 at an annual pace (+4%, a simple projection). Across the 50 cities, the rate is climbing in 2026 in 36.
- Ten years: 518 expired listings against 1,612 sales in Saint-Lambert.
What it changes when selling or buying in Saint-Lambert
At 30% failure, Saint-Lambert 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 44 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 The past twelve months' withdrawn listings, one by one, and the asking price they showed are in houses that do not sell in Saint-Lambert.
