What it changes when selling or buying a plex in Rimouski
At 21% failure, Rimouski is a city where plexes sell: expired listings are rare, and a building that stays listed signals a price frankly off the market, rents too low for the price or a visible defect. For a seller, the risk is not failing to sell, it is underselling by accepting too fast. For a buyer, waiting for a price cut rarely pays off here, even on a plex. The number of plexes for sale and months of inventory, year by year, are in plexes for sale in Rimouski; the same count for houses is in houses that do not sell in Rimouski and for condos in condos that do not sell in Rimouski.
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.
