Selling · Withdrawn listings · 51 cities · September 17, 2026
The figure market reports never publish: the share of listed houses that leave Centris without finding a buyer, city by city, and how much they were overasking.
As of September 17, 2026, across the 51 cities tracked, 11,656 single-family listings were withdrawn without a sale between September 16, 2025 and September 16, 2026, against 29,035 closed sales: 29% of completed listings did not close. Highest rates: Sainte-Adèle (50%), Beaconsfield (49%), Westmount (48%), Dollard-des-Ormeaux (45%), Saint-Zotique (44%). Lowest: Sept-Îles (9%), Rimouski (12%), Quebec City (15%), Victoriaville (15%), Rouyn-Noranda (15%). Everywhere, withdrawn listings asked more than those that sold. Source: Centris (Matrix), single-family listings switched to expired, cancelled or off-market status and sales closed between September 16, 2025 and September 16, 2026, compiled September 17, 2026, aggregates only.
For each city: the number of listings withdrawn without a sale, the number of closed sales, the failure rate (withdrawn ÷ completed listings) and the gap between the median asking price of withdrawn listings and that of sold ones. Click through for the detailed page.

Source: Centris (Matrix), single-family listings switched to expired, cancelled or off-market status and sales closed between September 16, 2025 and September 16, 2026, compiled September 17, 2026, aggregates only. Gatineau is absent: its sales count exceeds what the source displays.
In Sainte-Adèle, 50% of completed listings did not close; in Sept-Îles, 9%. The gap is not about house quality: the cities at the top are mostly expensive or resort markets, where buyers have time and choice and an optimistic price does not correct itself. The cities at the bottom are tight markets where nearly everything listed eventually sells.
In nearly every city in the table, withdrawn houses asked more than those that sold, with a median gap around 13%. That is the most direct demonstration of what an ambitious price costs: not "it will take a bit longer", but "there is a real chance of not selling at all". Our negotiating house prices in Quebec and Quebec real estate statistics pages give the other half of the story, from the sold side.
Our other data series, all built from Centris listings:
Each series is recalculated from the past twelve months of actual sales or leases, city by city, aggregates only.
Single-family listings switched to "expired", "cancelled" or "off-market" status on Centris (Matrix) between September 16, 2025 and September 16, 2026, compared with sales closed over the same period and territory; for Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, Quebec City, Lévis, Sherbrooke, Saguenay and Terrebonne, counts are taken borough by borough and added. The rate is withdrawn listings divided by all completed listings: listings still active are excluded. The median asking price of withdrawn listings is computed on the first 100 listings per city, in address order. Only aggregates are published, never a listing.
Across the 51 cities tracked, 29% of listings completed over 12 months were withdrawn without a sale, or 11,656 listings against 29,035 sales. The rate runs from 9% in Sept-Îles to 50% in Sainte-Adèle.
No. In the vast majority of cases it was listed above what the market pays: withdrawn listings asked about 13% more than sold ones. Repositioned on comparable sales, the same house sells.
No, single-family homes only, so the comparison between cities holds.
