What it changes when selling or buying in Drummondville
In Drummondville, an owner who bought before 2020 sits on a gain of $243,400 to $261,400 depending on the year: a full down payment for the next house, or a home equity line that no longer depends on salary. For a seller, the trap is pricing on that gain rather than on today's comparable sales: the 2026 buyer does not pay your gain, they pay the market. For a buyer, past appreciation does not repeat mechanically: the +9.8% yearly pace was made from 2016 to 2022, the 2023-2026 years run at +8.3%. For a principal residence, that gain is tax-free in Canada; for a rental property or a cottage, it is taxable on sale. What your specific house is worth is measured on comparables: home valuation in Drummondville.
How to read these figures
Each row compares the median price of single-family houses sold in Drummondville in the year of purchase with the median price of 2026 (Jan. to Sep.), Centris (Matrix) data. It is the gain of the median house, not of a specific house: a renovated home gained more, a neglected one less, and the median house of 2016 is not exactly the median house of 2026. "Per year" is the compound rate over the number of years between purchase and 2026, partial year counted as a full one. Selling costs (brokerage, notary, moving) and renovations are not deducted. The full series is in home prices in Drummondville.
