Sold vs asking · Saint-Lambert · Centris 2016-2026
At what percentage of the asking price houses sell in Saint-Lambert, year by year since 2016: the negotiation of 2016, the bidding wars of 2021, the return of rates, and what today's gap represents in dollars on a median house. Centris figures, not estimates.
In Saint-Lambert, a house sold on average for 97% of its asking price in 2026 (January to September), that is under the asking price: more room to negotiate than in most of the 50 cities tracked (median 99%). In 2016 it was 95%; at the 2021 peak, 99%, even the frenzy did not push sales above the listed price. On the 2026 median house ($1,120,000), the average gap between asking and sale price represents $33,600 less. Source: Centris (Matrix), compiled September 30, 2026.

What ten years of ratios say in Saint-Lambert
- Four markets in ten years in Saint-Lambert: 95.8% of asking on average in 2016-2019, 98.7% during the 2020-2022 frenzy, 97% when high rates returned, 97.5% today.
- Peak: 2021 (99%); low: 2016 (95%). The average sale price never exceeded the asking price in Saint-Lambert, not even in 2021: the frenzy played out in speed and in the disappearance of negotiation, not in bidding wars.
- The return of high rates: 99% in 2021, 97% in 2023 (-2 points), 97% in 2026. Negotiation is back, but at a far tighter level than in 2016.
- Price cuts before the sale: the gap between the ratio on the asking price and the ratio on the original price is 1 point in 2026 (1 in 2016, 0 in 2021). Few houses cut their price before selling.
- 2026 (Jan. to Sep.) versus 2025: 98% then 97% (-1 point, buyers regain a little room), on 101 sales against 150 for the whole of 2025. Across the 50 cities, 9 are at 100% or more in 2026, against 40 in 2021.
- In 2016, buyers negotiated an average $27,700 under asking on a median house at $554,000; in 2026, $33,600 under that price on a house at $1,120,000.
What it changes when selling or buying in Saint-Lambert
At 97% of asking, Saint-Lambert leaves real room to negotiate: buyers offer under the price and sellers accept, on average 3% under the listing. For a seller, the starting price should build in that margin without doubling it: listing 10% too high to "leave room" scares showings away. For a buyer, an offer 3 or 4% under the price is the norm, not an insult. The past twelve months, listing by listing, are in how much buyers negotiate in Saint-Lambert.
How to read these figures
One ratio per year for all of Saint-Lambert: what buyers paid, on average, relative to what sellers asked. Under 100%, people negotiate; at 100%, they pay the price; above, they outbid. The second ratio, on the original price, captures price cuts: a seller who lists at $500,000, cuts to $470,000 and sells at $465,000 makes 99% of asking but 93% of the original price.
