What it changes when selling or buying a plex in Lévis
At 29% failure, Lévis 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 31 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 Lévis; the same count for houses is in houses that do not sell in Lévis and for condos in condos that do not sell in Lévis.
How to read these figures
Two measures from the same Centris query, same settings: Income property category, whole municipality, by year over ten years. Expired listings are a count of contracts that ended without a sale; the same plex 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 plexes eventually sold after a relisting. The house and condo columns apply exactly the same definition to the Single-family and Condominium categories, which keeps the comparison honest. Average days is the measure the QPAREB publishes; buildings of 6 units and more are commercial and are not included.
