What it changes when selling or buying a plex in Laval
At 30% failure, Laval is in line with the cities tracked for plexes: most sell, but about one listing in three goes back without a buyer, almost always because the asking price does not hold up against the rents and the rates. The average of 59 days says the same thing: the well-listed building goes within weeks, 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 number of plexes for sale and months of inventory, year by year, are in plexes for sale in Laval; the same count for houses is in houses that do not sell in Laval and for condos in condos that do not sell in Laval.
How to read these figures
"Expired listings" counts, for each year, the plex 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 plex sales of the same year. The house and condo rates come from the same query in the Single-family and Condominium categories. Average days is the mean days on market of sold plexes; new listings come from plexes for sale in Laval. 2026 (Jan. to Sep.) is a partial year.
