What ten years of expired listings say in Sorel-Tracy
- Four markets in ten years in Sorel-Tracy: 41% failure on average in 2016-2019, 13% during the 2020-2022 frenzy, 18% when high rates returned, 26% today. Average days: 131, 63, 50 and 39.
- Peak of expired listings: 2016 (253); trough: 2021 (31), -88% between the two. Highest failure rate: 2016 (49%); lowest: 2021 (7%).
- The return of high rates: 7% failure in 2021, 18% in 2023, 20% in 2025. The market regained selectivity without returning to 2016.
- On the year's new listings: 51% of homes listed in 2016 saw their listing expire the same year, 19% in 2025. Fewer than one home in five ends up expired within the year.
- Average versus median: 122 days against 77 days in 2016, 39 days against 17 days in 2026. The gap (45 then 22 days) measures the weight of houses lingering for months: it has shrunk.
- 2026 (Jan. to Sep.) versus 2025: 20% then 33% failure (the rate is climbing: more overpriced homes are left on the shelf); 124 expired in nine months, or 165 at an annual pace (+72%, a simple projection). Across the 50 cities, the rate is climbing in 2026 in 36.
- Ten years: 1,376 expired listings against 3,647 sales in Sorel-Tracy.
What it changes when selling or buying in Sorel-Tracy
At 33% failure, Sorel-Tracy 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 39 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 The past twelve months' withdrawn listings, one by one, and the asking price they showed are in houses that do not sell in Sorel-Tracy.
How to read these figures
Two measures from the same Centris query, same settings: Single-family category, whole municipality, by year over ten years. Expired listings are a count of contracts that ended without a sale; the same home listed twice in a year can count twice. The failure rate is a ratio between two kinds of listing endings, sale or expiry, in the same year: it does not say how many of those homes eventually sold after a relisting. Average days is the measure the QPAREB publishes; we also publish the median, which is shorter, in days on market in Sorel-Tracy.
Frequently asked questions

96 single-family house listings expired without a sale in Sorel-Tracy in 2025, for 395 sales: a failure rate of 20%. In 2026 (Jan. to Sep.): 124 expired, 33%.

Yes: 33% in 2026 against 20% in 2025 and 7% at the 2021 trough. We remain far from the 49% of 2016, but the trend is up, as in 36 of 50 cities.
Why is the average longer than the median in Sorel-Tracy?
