- Four markets in ten years for plexes in Sorel-Tracy: 54% failure on average in 2016-2019, 28% during the 2020-2022 frenzy, 34% when high rates returned, 36% today. Average days for a sold plex: 199, 144, 96 and 58.
- Peak of expired plexes: 2016 (76); trough: 2022 (32), -58% between the two. Highest failure rate: 2016 (61%); lowest: 2021 (19%).
- Plex versus house: in 2016, 61% of plex listings expired against 49% of houses (+12 points); in 2026, 41% against 33% (+8 points). The gap has narrowed. Across the 23 cities tracked, plexes expire more often than houses in 21.
- On the year's new listings: 60% of plexes listed in 2016 saw their listing expire the same year, 33% in 2025. One plex in four or more did not find a buyer within the year: the asking price does not hold up against the rents and the rates.
- 2026 (Jan. to Sep.) versus 2025: 32% then 41% failure (the rate is climbing: more overpriced plexes sit without an offer); 32 plexes expired in nine months, or 43 at an annual pace (+2%, a simple projection). Across the 23 cities, the rate is climbing in 2026 in 16.
- Ten years: 548 expired plex listings against 845 sales in Sorel-Tracy.
What it changes when selling or buying a plex in Sorel-Tracy
At 41% failure, Sorel-Tracy 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 38 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 Sorel-Tracy; the same count for houses is in houses that do not sell in Sorel-Tracy and for condos in condos that do not sell in Sorel-Tracy.
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.
