What it changes when selling or buying a plex in Saint-Hyacinthe
At 39% failure, Saint-Hyacinthe is a city where a plex sells poorly when listed at a hopeful price: more than one listing in three ends without a sale. A building that expires comes back on the market with a visible history, and investors know it. For a seller, the starting price should be the one the rents justify at today's rate, not the 2022 multiplier nor the price per unit of the neighbour who sold before the rate hikes. For a buyer, plexes listed for more than 34 days are the ones where negotiation has a chance, especially when the leases are low. The number of plexes for sale and months of inventory, year by year, are in plexes for sale in Saint-Hyacinthe; the same count for houses is in houses that do not sell in Saint-Hyacinthe and for condos in condos that do not sell in Saint-Hyacinthe.
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 Saint-Hyacinthe. 2026 (Jan. to Sep.) is a partial year.
