Buying · Negotiation · Granby · September 17, 2026
Not a hunch, actual listings: the asking price and the sale price of every house sold in Granby over 12 months, the median gap, the share that sold above asking and how long it took.
As of September 17, 2026, across a sample of 500 sales drawn from the 560 single-family sales of the past 12 months in Granby (Centris), the median sale price is 99.04% of the asking price: the median buyer paid 0.96% less than the asking price. 58% of sales closed below asking (median discount of $12,250, or 2.78%), 12% exactly at asking and 30% above (median overbid of $11,050). The median house sold in 14.5 days. Those that sold above asking went in 5 days, those that sold below asking took 28 days. Granby ranks 36th out of 52 cities tracked, from the most negotiable to the least. Source: Centris (Matrix), single-family sales closed between September 16, 2025 and September 16, 2026, asking price and sale price of each listing, compiled September 17, 2026, aggregates only.
Every sold listing carries two prices: what the seller asked and what the buyer paid. Across a sample of 500 sales drawn from the 560 single-family sales of the past 12 months in Granby, the median ratio between the two is 99.04%: the median buyer paid 0.96% less than the asking price. The middle half of sales falls between 96.69% and 100.67% of the asking price. In other words, an offer at 96.69% of the listed price is not an insult in Granby: it is already the most aggressive quarter of deals that actually closed.
| Outcome | Sales | Share | Days on market (median) | Median gap with asking price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above asking | 150 | 30% | 5 | +$11,050 (2.71%) |
| Exactly at asking | 58 | 12% | $0 | |
| Below asking | 292 | 58% | 28 | −$12,250 (2.78%) |
Source: Centris (Matrix), single-family sales closed between September 16, 2025 and September 16, 2026, asking price and sale price of each listing, compiled September 17, 2026, aggregates only; median discount and overbid are computed only on the sales concerned.
The number that changes a strategy: 30% of houses sold above asking. If you are chasing a freshly listed, well-priced house, negotiating down is not the likely scenario; if you are looking at a house that has been listed for weeks, it very much is.
| Sale price bracket | Sales | Sold ÷ asking (median) | Share sold above asking | Days on market (median) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under $400,000 | 122 | 99.17% | 26% | 12 |
| $400,000 to $600,000 | 276 | 99.2% | 34% | 13 |
| $600,000 to $800,000 | 68 | 98.77% | 28% | 16 |
| $800,000 to $1M | 22 | 97.95% | 18% | 21 |
| $1M and up | 12 | 96.03% | 8% | 65 |
This is the most consistent rule in the market: in the lower brackets buyers compete for the same properties and pay close to asking; in the upper brackets the buyer has time, choice and leverage. Check the row matching your budget before setting your offer.
The median is 14.5 days from listing to sale: a quarter of houses went in under 5 days, a quarter took more than 47 days. That figure alone tells you little; crossing it with price is what matters.
Houses that sold above asking went in 5 days. Those that sold below asking took 28 days. The message is the same for both sides: a correctly priced house sells fast and without a discount; an overpriced one sits on the market and eventually gets negotiated. Days on market is the single best indicator of a buyer's leverage.
The asking price is not a negotiating starting point, it is a filter: it decides how many buyers walk through in the first week. In Granby, houses that sold above asking did so in 5 days, during that first wave of showings. A house listed too high misses the wave, accumulates days (28 days for those that end up below asking) and is then negotiated by buyers who know exactly how long it has been listed. Our free home evaluation in Granby starts from the same comparable sales.

Other angles on the same sales data in Granby:
Negotiation is not only about the asking price: the type of property and days on market weigh just as much.
Single-family listings switched to "sold" status on Centris (Matrix) between September 16, 2025 and September 16, 2026, with the asking price, the sale price and days on market of each listing; median and quartiles computed on the sold ÷ asking ratio. Merged cities are taken as a whole. For cities whose count exceeds what Matrix displays, the sample is the first 500 listings in address order, an order unrelated to price. Only aggregates are published, never a listing. Price series are on home prices in Granby and Quebec real estate statistics.
On 12 months of actual sales, the price paid is 99.04% of the asking price at the median. When there is a discount, it is $12,250 at the median (2.78%). But 30% of houses sold above asking: it all depends on the listed price, days on market and the price bracket.
No: that is the first quartile of closed sales in Granby, so a price sellers actually accepted. Low offers get rejected mostly when they arrive without justification; documented with comparables and a repair budget, they get discussed.
