Closed sales on Centris from 2016 to September 2026: 6,480 bungalows, 2,031 two-storey houses, 418 split-level houses, 731 storey-and-a-half houses. A year with fewer than 10 sales in a type is left blank (n/a), and a type missing from the table does not have enough sales in Saguenay to be published. When a year has few sales, its median swings a lot: read the trend, not a single year.

Which house to choose in Saguenay: split-level, storey-and-a-half, bungalow or two-storey?
In Saguenay, the split-level sells at +9% against the bungalow, in line with the cities tracked (8%). It gives more floor area than the bungalow for a similar price, with the stairs as the trade-off: a good compromise for a family, a harder product for a retiree. The storey-and-a-half, for its part, is the cheapest type in Saguenay: -14% against the bungalow, $320,000 in 2026 (January to September). These are village and pre-war houses with bedrooms under the roof, sloped ceilings and often insulation to redo: the cheapest way into the city for a first-time buyer ready to renovate, and a price not to compare with a 1975 bungalow when selling.
How to read these numbers
The property type is the one on the Centris listing of each house sold: "bungalow" (one level), "two or more storey" (two full levels or more), "split-level" (offset half-levels) and "one-and-a-half storey" (bedrooms under the roof). Other types (mobile home, townhouse, etc.) are not counted. The median price is the middle price: half the sales above, half below. 2026 covers January to September. A type is published for a year only if it has at least 10 sales; when 2026 does not have enough, the last publishable year serves as the reference and is named. The gap between two types compares two medians of the same year: it includes everything that usually comes with the type (floor area, age, lot, garage), not only the shape of the house. For your house, a broker evaluation starts from the house, not the type.
