Selling · Rimouski · QPAREB Q2 2026 figures
A 10% rise in a year, 97 houses active for 120 sales in the quarter: in Rimouski, the 2026 seller has the advantage in every range. Here are the figures, the pricing method and the calendar.
Selling a house in Rimouski in 2026 means selling in the tightest market in the Lower St. Lawrence: a $400,000 median in the second quarter (+10% year over year, +71% in five years), 36 days on the market, 120 sales and 97 houses active, supply that has not moved in a year, and a seller's market in every range, with 1.6 months of inventory between $280,000 and $470,000, where two houses out of three sell. Even above $560,000, inventory stays under six months. The seller of a house priced at its street's level gets offers in a month; the one who aims 10% above the comparables waits, because Rimouski's pre-approved buyer compares closed sales, not asking prices.
The Rimouski agglomeration sold its median house for $400,000 in the second quarter of 2026, +10% year over year and +71% in five years, in 36 days, with 120 sales (-4%) and 97 active listings (stable); over twelve months, $375,000 (+7%) in 35 days on 451 sales. Condos, few in number, have no published median. The market belongs to the seller in every range. Rimouski sells to families from the region, to employees of the university, the CEGEP, the hospital and the regional administration, and to people returning from Quebec City and Montreal who want the river.

Downtown and the older streets around rue Saint-Germain and the seaside promenade sell the renovated houses and the plexes above the median, with the river within walking distance; the plex is priced on its income. The 1960s to 1990s neighbourhoods of bungalows and two-storey houses (Nazareth, Sainte-Odile, Saint-Pie-X, Terrasse Arthur-Buies) make the volume at the median and sell in a month at the street's price. Pointe-au-Père (the lighthouse, the maritime site) and Rimouski-Est sell the house with a river view above the median, on few comparables. Le Bic, Sainte-Blandine and the municipalities of the RCM sell the country house and the waterfront property more slowly, on the comparables of the concession road; the recent developments in the south of the city sell in competition with new builds.
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.

For the full market portrait, read our real estate broker page for Rimouski. Our pages on the welcome tax in Rimouski and selling a house in Quebec City complete this guide. If you are buying at the same time, our sell-and-buy guide lays out the sequence without a double mortgage.
36 days in median in the second quarter of 2026 (35 over twelve months), plus 30 to 60 days to the notary. A house priced at its street's level gets its offers in two to four weeks; a property above $560,000 takes one to two months with 5.8 months of inventory.
Spring and early summer concentrate transfers, returns to the region and families; fall sells to buyers arriving for the university term and health care positions. With stable, low supply, winter sells too, more slowly, to buyers who cannot afford to wait.
Visible low-cost work pays back; in a market that rose 71%, the buyer pays for move-in ready in the central ranges and negotiates the original. Major work (roof, windows, foundations, drain) is negotiated in price; for a house with a river view, presentation matters more: we cost both options.
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.
