What it changes when selling or buying in Saguenay
1,036 house sales a year is about 19.9 a week: Saguenay 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 86 that sell every month.
How to read these figures
Centris's number of sales counts closed transactions (accepted offer followed by a confirmed sale) entered in the system by brokers, by year and by category: Single-family, Condominium, Plex. Sales without a broker and private sales are not included, so land registry totals are higher. 2026 (Jan. to mid-Sep.) is a partial year: the annual pace is a rule of three, not a forecast. Our pages on home prices in Saguenay and days on market in Saguenay read the same sales from two other angles.
