Homes for sale · Longueuil · Centris 2016-2026
The number of houses for sale in Longueuil 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 Longueuil, an average of 307 houses were for sale on Centris at each month-end in 2026 (January to August), against 629 in 2016: inventory is 49% of what it was ten years ago, in line with the 50 cities tracked (median 46%).

What ten years of inventory say in Longueuil
- Four markets in ten years in Longueuil: 470 homes for sale on average in 2016-2019, 265 during the 2020-2022 frenzy, 340 when high rates returned, 313 in 2025 and 307 in 2026.
- Inventory peak: 2016 (629); trough: 2021 (180). Between the two, the choice offered to a buyer was divided by 3.5.
- New listings: 1,983 in 2019 at the high, 1,755 in 2021 at the low, 1,876 in 2025. New listings held up (-4% since 2016): the inventory decline comes from the speed of sales, not a lack of sellers.

- 2026 (Jan. to Aug.) versus 2025: average inventory is down 2% (313 to 307), and new listings are running at 2,086 at an annual pace (+11%, a simple twelve-month projection). Choice keeps shrinking. End of August 2026: 320 active houses.

What it changes when selling or buying in Longueuil
At 2.7 months of inventory, Longueuil 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 307 homes for sale on average and 174 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 51% 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
One count per year for all of Longueuil: what gets listed (flow), what is for sale (stock, month-end average) and what sells. All three come from Centris, brokers' listings only; sales without a broker are not included. Stock is the measure that explains price: when it melts, each buyer has less choice and pays more. The pages home prices in Longueuil and days on market in Longueuil read the same years from the price and speed side.
