How long to sell a house in Laval in 2026: 24 days in Fabreville, 48 in Sainte-Dorothée, and what makes the difference

Days on market · Laval · QPAREB Q2 2026 figures

Twenty-four days in Fabreville, forty-eight in Sainte-Dorothée: in Laval, the delay depends on the sector and the range. Here are the 2026 figures, sector by sector, and what makes the difference between three weeks and three months.

Selling a house in Laval takes 30 days in median in the second quarter of 2026 (36 over twelve months, 40 in August), but the six sectors run from 24 days in Fabreville and 27 in Sainte-Rose to 32 in Chomedey, 33 in Saint-François, 34 in Duvernay and 48 in Sainte-Dorothée. The condo takes 55 days, from 29 in Sainte-Rose and 33 in Fabreville to 60 downtown (a buyer's market between $530,000 and $630,000) and 93 in Sainte-Dorothée. The delay depends on the sector, the range (the buyer leads above $1.12 million in Sainte-Dorothée) and the day-one price: with 821 houses active (+10 %), a house priced at its street's closed sales receives its offers the first weekend, a house overpriced by 3 % joins the others.

Laval: months of inventory by price range (single-family)

Under 4 months of inventory, the seller leads and a fairly priced house goes in three weeks; above 8 months, the buyer leads and the delay is counted in months.

The fast sectors and the slow sectors in Laval

The fast ones: Fabreville (24 days), the cheapest sector, where first-time buyers compete for the bungalows; Sainte-Rose, Vimont and Auteuil (27 days), the village, the hospital and the 1980s to 2000s homes. The middle: Chomedey (32 days), Saint-François (33), Duvernay (34, with only 77 listings). The slow one: Sainte-Dorothée (48 days), where the large lots and waterfront homes above $1.12 million wait for their buyer. For condos, Sainte-Rose (29 days) and Fabreville (33) sell in a month; downtown (60 days, 397 listings) and Sainte-Dorothée (93) negotiate. The details are on house prices in Laval by sector.

What makes the difference between three weeks and three months

• The day-one price: a house listed 3 % above the closed sales of its street loses the first weekend, when viewings concentrate; after 21 days without an offer, buyers wonder what is wrong, and a price cut brings less than a fair price at the start.
• The price range: in the same sector, months of inventory change from one range to the next (table above); a house that slips into the slow range by being overpriced changes market.
• The presentation: professional photos and video, decluttering, neutral paint, cleaning; a Thursday launch for a first weekend of grouped viewings.
• The file: up-to-date certificate of location, seller's declaration, invoices, a pre-inspection if there is a history; every missing document adds days of conditions.
• The season: March to June concentrates buyers, September and October are the second peak; winter sells slower but with less competition.

The calendar of a sale at a fair price

1. Weeks -6 to -2: documents, certificate, preparation.
2. Launch day, a Thursday: full launch on Centris, dedicated page, targeted campaigns.
3. Days 1 to 4: grouped weekend viewings.
4. Days 4 to 10: offers, negotiation of conditions (inspection, financing, date).
5. Days 10 to 25: inspection, financing confirmation, conditions lifted.
6. Days 40 to 75: signing at the notary, 30 to 60 days after acceptance.

The delay the QPAREB publishes measures the days between the listing and the acceptance of the offer: add 30 to 60 days to the notary to know the date the money is in your account.
