The past twelve months in Rimouski, month by month

Single-family category, municipality of Rimouski, Centris (Matrix), read September 16, 2026. September 2026: data from September 1 to 16 (month in progress). Days on market = days between listing and accepted offer, median of the month's sales; ratio = sold price ÷ asking price, median.

What the twelve months say

• Days on market: the fastest of the twelve months was February 2026 (6 days), the slowest August 2026 (18 days); median of the twelve months, 7 days. September (6 days) is below the twelve-month median.
• Inventory: 49 active houses at the low (December 2025), 90 at the peak (September 2026). September is the peak of the twelve months: there have never been as many houses for sale in the window.
• New listings: 409 houses put up for sale from October 2025 to August 2026 (eleven full months), the busiest month being March 2026 (57) and the quietest December 2025 (11). August (31) is below June (48); September (28) covers only the first 16 days of the month.
• Price: houses sold at 100% of asking in September, +1 point from June; over the twelve months, 8 of 12 months closed above asking (ratio of 100% or more), the highest in March 2026 (101%). The median price of a house in Rimouski is $395,000 in 2026 to date (264 sales from January to September) against $366,000 in 2025 (385 sales), +7.9%.
• Across the 50 cities tracked, the September median is 16 days (June: 14 days; October 2025: 12 days); it lengthened since June in 30 cities and doubled in 7. September inventory is higher than June in 39 cities and higher than October 2025 in 44; it is at its twelve-month peak in 24 cities. 26 cities are in a seller's market, 20 in a balanced market, 4 in a buyer's market.

Months of inventory and verdict: a seller's market

Rule: under 4 months of inventory = seller's market, 4 to 6 months = balanced market, over 6 months = buyer's market. Calculation in Rimouski: 90 active houses in September ÷ (264 sales in 2026 ÷ 9 months = 29.3 sales a month) = 3.1 months. Verdict: a seller's market. It is an approximation: 2026 sales stop on September 16 and are divided by nine full months, which nudges the result slightly upward; the actual pace of September may differ from the year's average. Rimouski ranks 7th of 50, from the tightest market to the slowest (median of cities: 3.9 months).

What it changes for selling in Rimouski

Days on market are the same as in June and buyers are there: a well-prepared seller can aim at the past thirty days' comparables with no room for negotiation, and expect several showings in the first week. A ratio of 100% or more means bidding above asking still happens here.

What it changes for buying in Rimouski

Inventory has been rising since June, which gives a little more choice than in the spring, not yet bargaining power.
