Reading assumption: the original price is the listing's first asking price, the asking price the last one displayed at the time of sale; the gap between the two ratios, in points, is the listing price cut before the sale. Both ratios come from the same Centris query, on the same sales.

What the price cuts say in Châteauguay
- The bracket where sellers adjust the most: $800,000 to $1M, 1 point between the first and the last asking price, or $8,500 on the bracket midpoint. That is where the starting price most often sits above what the market pays.
- The bracket where they adjust the least: $300,000 to $500,000, 0.5 point. The first-day asking price is nearly the sale price there: the market decides fast, up or down, without a listing cut.
- Bottom versus top of the market: 0.5 point of cuts under $500,000, 1 point at $800,000 and up: the top of the market adjusts its price more before selling. It is the case in 17 cities out of 35.
- Share of sales closed in a bracket that cut by at least one point: 61% in Châteauguay.
- Across the 50 cities tracked, houses sell at 97.8% of the first asking price and at 98.8% of the last in median: 0.7 point of listing cuts, $4,125 on the median house.

What it changes for setting your price in Châteauguay
In Châteauguay, the listing price moves moderately before the sale: 0.8 point on a weighted average, more in $800,000 to $1M, barely in $300,000 to $500,000. For a seller, the bracket says whether an ambitious starting price is affordable: where cuts are rare, the market punishes the too-high price with silence; where they are common, the starting price gets corrected, but at the cost of weeks on the market. For a buyer, the ratio on the original price (97.8%) is the true gap between what the seller wanted and what was obtained; the ratio on the asking price (98.6%) shows only the last step. Negotiation on the last asking price, bracket by bracket, is in negotiation by price range in Châteauguay; the sold-to-asking ratio year by year, in sold over asking in Châteauguay; days on market by bracket, in days on market by price in Châteauguay.
How to read these figures
One table for all of Châteauguay, over twelve months, single-family houses only. Ratios are averages weighted by the sales of published ranges (at least 5 sales with a known ratio); a bracket with 14 sales gives an indication, one with 246 a measure. A 100% ratio on the original price means the bracket's houses sell on average at their first asking price, multiple offers and cuts combined. Reading assumption: the original price is the listing's first asking price, the asking price the last one displayed at the time of sale; the gap between the two ratios, in points, is the listing price cut before the sale. Both ratios come from the same Centris query, on the same sales. Listings that cut and then expired without selling are not included: see houses that do not sell in Châteauguay.

How to set a starting price in Châteauguay so you do not have to cut?
On sales closed in the past three months in its bracket, not on the hoped-for price: in Châteauguay, houses in $500,000 to $800,000 (the best-selling bracket) sold at 97.9% of their first asking price. A starting price set above comparables gets corrected in public, and a public cut tells buyers the market has already refused the first price. The right price on day one beats a trial price followed by a cut. A broker from the team pulls the bracket's comparables before setting the price.
Are these figures Centris counts or estimates?
Both ratios and the sales come from Centris (Matrix), on the same sales and the same period; nothing is estimated. The gap between the two ratios is a reading: it assumes the original price is the first asking price and the asking price the last, which is the Centris definition of both fields. Dollar amounts are computed on the range midpoint or on the 2026 median house: orders of magnitude.
