Selling · Rouyn-Noranda · QPAREB Q2 2026 figures
A 13% rise in a year and 57 days on the market: in Rouyn-Noranda, the 2026 seller has the advantage but the buyer takes their time. Here are the figures, the pricing method and the calendar.
Selling a house in Rouyn-Noranda in 2026 means selling in a seller's market that takes its time: a $375,000 median in the second quarter (+13% year over year, +40% in five years), 110 sales (+5%) and 99 houses active (+6%), 2.6 months of inventory between $270,000 and $530,000 and 4.1 months above, but 57 days on the market, the longest among the regional agglomerations, because the Abitibi buyer visits, compares and comes back. The seller of a house priced at its street's level gets offers in one to two months; the one who aims for the year's peak waits, because the pre-approved buyer compares closed sales, not the 13% rise. The method: the price on the last three comparable sales, the documents ready, and marketing toward Val-d'Or, Amos and the mining sector's transfers.
The Rouyn-Noranda agglomeration sold its median house for $375,000 in the second quarter of 2026, +13% year over year and +40% in five years, in 57 days, with 110 sales (+5%) and 99 active listings (+6%); over twelve months, $359,000 (+10%) in 51 days on 334 sales. Condos, few in number, have no published median. The market belongs to the seller in every range. Rouyn-Noranda sells to families from the region, to employees of the mining sector, the university, the CEGEP and the hospital, and to transfers arriving from Val-d'Or, Montreal and Gatineau.

Old Noranda, around Lake Osisko, and downtown Rouyn sell the renovated older houses and the plexes above the median, with the lake and services within walking distance; the plex is priced on its income. The 1960s to 1990s neighbourhoods of bungalows and two-storey houses (Rouyn-Sud, Noranda-Nord, the streets toward the airport) make the volume at the median and sell in one to two months at the street's price. Évain, Granada and McWatters sell the house on a large lot and the recent developments in competition with new builds. The rural districts (Cadillac, Rollet, Arntfield, Cloutier) and the lakes sell the country house and the cottage slowly, on the sector's comparables.
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.

57 days in median in the second quarter of 2026 (51 over twelve months), plus 30 to 60 days to the notary. A house priced at its street's level gets its offers in one to two months; the Abitibi buyer visits twice before offering, even in a seller's market.
Spring and summer concentrate the mining sector's transfers and families; fall sells to buyers who arrived for the university and CEGEP term. Winter slows everything: a house listed in November often waits until March, unless the price is at market.
Visible low-cost work pays back; in the central range, the buyer accepts the original of a 1970s bungalow and negotiates the roof, the windows, the drain and the heating in price. The city's comparative factor of 1.03 is a reminder that the roll is below the market: the municipal assessment is not a pricing argument. 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.
