Selling a house in Drummondville in 2026: $424,950 in 35 days, the market that tips above $620,000, and how to set the price

Selling · Drummondville · QPAREB Q2 2026 figures

Thirty-five days and a market that tips above $620,000: in Drummondville, positioning decides. Here are the 2026 figures, the pricing method and the calendar.

Selling a house in Drummondville in 2026 means selling in a seller's market that is calming down: a $424,950 median for the single-family home in the city in the second quarter (+6 % year over year, +66 % in five years), 35 days on market, the longest among the large regional cities, 212 houses active (283 in the region), a seller's market under $620,000 (2.2 to 4.2 months of inventory) and balanced above (9.5 months in the city, 21.8 months in the northern outskirts). The 1960s to 2000s bungalows and homes of Saint-Charles, Saint-Nicéphore and the centre go in a month at their street's price; the large homes and Saint-François River waterfront properties above $620,000 wait for their buyer, often a Montreal or Quebec City household working remotely halfway between. The method: closed sales of the street, a fair price in the right range, a full launch reaching both metropolises.

The Drummondville market in 2026, from the seller's side

The city of Drummondville sold its median house for $424,950 in the second quarter of 2026, +6 % year over year and +66 % in five years, in 35 days, with 212 active listings; the metropolitan area (with the northern and southern outskirts), $424,950 (+7 %, +69 %) in 38 days, with 283 listings (+19 %). The market belongs to the seller under $620,000 and is balanced or the buyer's above, the only such case among the large regional cities with Magog: Drummondville attracted remote workers during the pandemic, and the high end built then resells more slowly. For a seller, the question is positioning: a house listed at $640,000 that is worth $600,000 changes market and waits six months.

City of Drummondville: months of inventory by price range

What makes the price, sector by sector

Downtown and old Drummondville (rue Heriot, Woodyatt park, the river) sell the older homes, plexes and condos, on character; the plex is priced on its income. Saint-Charles, Saint-Simon and the 1960s to 1990s neighbourhoods north of boulevard Saint-Joseph are the family market at the median, where condition makes the gap. Saint-Nicéphore, to the south, and the recent neighbourhoods near Highway 20 sell the 2000 to 2025 homes, where the resale is compared with the developer's new builds. The Saint-François River waterfront and the large homes of the northern outskirts fall into the slow range (9.5 to 21.8 months of inventory above $600,000): the price is set as tightly as possible, on few comparables, and the certificate of location (shoreline strip, flood zones) is part of the file. Our page real estate broker in Drummondville details the sectors.

How we set the price: the method, not the median

The sector median tells you where the market sits, not what your house is worth. Our valuation starts from the closed sales of the last 60 to 90 days on your street and the streets next to it (same type, same era, same lot), adjusts for what differs (finished basement, garage, pool, roof, windows, kitchen), then looks at what is for sale right now at the same price: that is your real competition. Pricing 3 % too high in a 30-day market costs you the first weekend, when viewings concentrate; pricing right produces multiple offers. We show you the comparables, not a promise.

The calendar that works

1. Weeks -6 to -4: the documents. Certificate of location (order it now if it is outdated or if anything changed: 4 to 8 weeks of lead time), seller's declaration, tax bills, invoices for work done, mortgage statement with the penalty.
2. Weeks -3 to -1: preparation. Decluttering, small repairs, neutral paint, professional cleaning; a pre-inspection if the house is over 25 years old or has a history.
3. Launch day, a Thursday: professional photos and video, dedicated page, Centris, targeted campaigns aimed at buyers searching your sector.
4. The first weekend: grouped viewings, offers on Monday, negotiation of conditions (inspection, financing, occupancy date).
5. Through to the notary: follow-up on the inspection, the financing conditions and the certificate; the sale is signed 30 to 60 days after acceptance.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to sell a house in Drummondville?

35 days in median in the city in the second quarter of 2026, plus 30 to 60 days to the notary. Under $620,000, a house priced at its street's level goes in a month; above, inventory is 9.5 months in the city and the delay is counted in months.

When is the best time to sell in Drummondville?

Spring concentrates Montreal and Quebec City buyers; for a house above $620,000, it is the only season when marketing towards both metropolises produces enough viewings. Under $620,000, fall sells too.

Should you renovate before selling in Drummondville?

Under $620,000, visible work pays back; above, a heavy renovation does not make up for a balanced market. For a waterfront home, an up-to-date certificate of location and a complete file (shoreline strip, insurance) bring more than a kitchen.

What does selling cost?

The broker's compensation, agreed in the brokerage contract and payable at the sale; the certificate of location if outdated ($1,200 to $2,500); the mortgage penalty if you break a term (three months of interest or the interest rate differential); the notary's fees for the discharge. Our free valuation puts numbers on all of it before you decide.
