Selling · Shawinigan · QPAREB Q2 2026 figures
Up 95% in five years, 26 days on the market, but 21% more supply: in Shawinigan, the 2026 seller sells fast under $380,000 and negotiates above. Here are the figures, the pricing method and the calendar.
Selling a house in Shawinigan in 2026 means selling in the regional market that rose the most in five years, +95%, at a $316,500 median in the second quarter (+13% year over year), in 26 days, with 118 sales (-13%) and 135 houses active (+21%). The market belongs to the seller up to $380,000 (2.0 months of inventory between $230,000 and $380,000, where two houses out of three sell), gets negotiated between $380,000 and $450,000 (4.5 months) and becomes balanced above $450,000 (8.6 months), where the recent houses and the properties of Lac-à-la-Tortue and the northern lakes wait for the buyer who compares with Trois-Rivières. The seller of a bungalow priced at its street's level sells in a month; the seller of a large property prices on the last three comparable sales and markets toward Montreal.
The Shawinigan agglomeration sold its median house for $316,500 in the second quarter of 2026, +13% year over year and +95% in five years, in 26 days, with 118 sales (-13%) and 135 active listings (+21%); over twelve months, $300,000 (+9%) in 30 days on 447 sales. Condos, few in number, have no published median. The market belongs to the seller in the central ranges and tips toward balance above $450,000. Shawinigan sells to families from the Mauricie, to Trois-Rivières workers who drive up Highway 55 for the price, to remote workers from Montreal and to cottage buyers at Lac-à-la-Tortue and the lakes of Saint-Gérard and Grand-Mère. The full picture is on the Shawinigan and Mauricie real estate market in 2026.

Downtown Shawinigan (the Cité de l'énergie, rue des Cèdres, avenue de la Station) and the older streets sell the renovated brick houses and the plexes above the median; the plex is priced on its income. Shawinigan-Sud and Grand-Mère make the volume with their 1950s to 1990s bungalows and two-storey houses at the median, sold in a month at the street's price. Saint-Georges-de-Champlain, Lac-à-la-Tortue and Saint-Gérard-des-Laurentides sell the country house and the four-season waterfront cottage above the median, slowly, on few comparables: the price is set on the lake's sales, not on the city median. The recent developments sell 2010s houses in competition with new builds, in the balanced range above $450,000.
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.

26 days in median in the second quarter of 2026 (30 over twelve months), plus 30 to 60 days to the notary. A family house priced at its street's level gets its offers in two to four weeks; a property above $450,000 takes two to three months with 8.6 months of inventory.
Spring concentrates families and buyers from Trois-Rivières and Montreal; summer sells the cottages and lake properties; fall sells to retirees and remote workers. With 21% more supply, the price matters more than the date: a house overpriced by 5% in spring waits until fall.
Visible low-cost work pays back; in the central range, the buyer accepts the original of a Shawinigan-Sud bungalow and negotiates the roof, the windows and the drain in price. A foundation poured between 1996 and 2008 in the Mauricie raises the pyrrhotite question: an existing report reassures the buyer and avoids a blind negotiation. For a cottage, presentation and the dock matter more than renovations: 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.
