Homes for sale · Boucherville · Centris 2016-2026
The number of houses for sale in Boucherville at each month-end, and the number of new listings, year by year since 2016: the peak, the frenzy trough, the absorption rate, months of inventory, and why prices doubled without sales growing. Centris figures, not estimates.
In Boucherville, an average of 63 houses were for sale on Centris at each month-end in 2026 (January to August), against 116 in 2016: inventory is 54% of what it was ten years ago, a milder decline than in most of the 50 cities tracked (median 46%). The trough was 2021 (29 houses, -75% from the 2017 peak); since then, inventory has climbed back 117%. New listings went from 422 in 2016 to 418 in 2025 (-1%): fewer homes are being listed than before, and they sell faster. The result: 2.5 months of inventory in 2026 against 4.4 in 2016.

What ten years of inventory say in Boucherville
- Four markets in ten years in Boucherville: 116 homes for sale on average in 2016-2019, 50 during the 2020-2022 frenzy, 82 when high rates returned, 64 in 2025 and 63 in 2026.
- Inventory peak: 2017 (118); trough: 2021 (29). Between the two, the choice offered to a buyer was divided by 4.1.
- New listings: 465 in 2017 at the high, 326 in 2021 at the low, 418 in 2025. New listings held up (-1% since 2016): the inventory decline comes from the speed of sales, not a lack of sellers.
- Absorption rate (year's sales ÷ new listings): 75% in 2016, 92% in 2021, 81% in 2025. More than seven homes listed out of ten find a buyer within the year.
- Months of inventory (homes for sale ÷ monthly sales): 4.4 in 2016, 1.2 at the 2021 trough, 2.3 in 2025, 2.5 in 2026. Under 4 months, the seller leads; above 6, the buyer.
- 2026 (Jan. to Aug.) versus 2025: average inventory is down 2% (64 to 63), and new listings are running at 488 at an annual pace (+17%, a simple twelve-month projection). Choice keeps shrinking. End of August 2026: 63 active houses.
- Across the 50 cities tracked, 2026 inventory is a median 46% of 2016, it is at half or less in 32 cities, and it is climbing versus 2025 in 43 cities.
What it changes when selling or buying in Boucherville
At 2.5 months of inventory, Boucherville remains a seller's market: buyers outnumber houses, and every well-priced new listing gets showings in its first week. For a seller, the risk is not failing to sell, it is selling under price by taking the first offer. For a buyer, waiting for "more choice" does not work: with 63 homes for sale on average and 41 new ones a month, the choice turns over fast but does not grow; you need to be pre-approved and ready to decide within days. The rest of the table explains prices: with 46% fewer homes for sale than in 2016, the median price doubled without the number of sales growing, and it will not come down until inventory does come back.
How to read these figures
"Active listings" counts the single-family houses for sale on Centris at the end of each month; we publish the average of the year's twelve month-ends (eight in 2026) and the last month's value. "New listings" adds up the year's listings, including relistings after a withdrawal. Sales come from the same database (number of sales in Boucherville). Absorption divides sales by the same year's new listings; months of inventory divide homes for sale by monthly sales, as in the buyer's or seller's market in Boucherville, computed there over the past twelve months.
