What it changes when selling or buying in Quebec City
3,356 house sales a year is about 64.5 a week: Quebec City is a deep market, where a seller always finds recent comparables and a buyer sees new houses every week. Prices settle quickly because everyone works from the same references. The real question is not whether there are buyers, but how your house compares with the 280 that sell every month.
How to read these figures
One count per year and per category, for all of Quebec City: houses on one side, condos and plexes on the other. The counter is the number of accepted offers that led to a sale, as entered on Centris by brokers. It says nothing about sales without a broker, nor about homes withdrawn from the market unsold, which we track in houses that do not sell in Quebec City. Small cities move by a few dozen sales from one year to the next: read the plateaus, not a single year.
