Q3 2026 figures
According to Centris real estate statistics for Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, year-over-year changes:
- All residential: 237 sales (-15%), 435 new listings (+19%), 385 active listings (+15%).
- Single-family: 181 sales (-12%), 270 active (+11%), median price $590,000 (+7%), 41 days on market on average (+4).
- Condos: 34 sales (-26%), 63 active (+70%), median price $374,000 (+9%), 40 days (+3).
- Plexes: too few transactions in the quarter for reliable statistics according to Centris; over four quarters, 104 sales (-18%) and a median price of $625,375 (+7%).
More supply, and prices rising anyway
In central Montreal neighbourhoods, rising supply comes with a median price that stalls. Not yet in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu: single-family homes are up 7% and condos 9% year over year, despite fewer sales and more listings.
Two readings are possible, and the numbers don't settle it. Either demand for homes more affordable than in the city is holding prices up, or the mix of sales has changed, for example with more recent or larger homes sold this quarter. The second effect can lift a median without any given house being worth more.
Condos, the segment to watch
This is the segment moving most: 70% more active listings for 26% fewer sales. With 63 active units for 34 sales in the quarter, condo buyers have far more choice than a year ago. If that gap persists, this is where median price growth should fade first.
What it means for buyers and sellers
- Single-family buyers: more choice, but no price drop. A 41-day average leaves time to compare and inspect.
- Condo buyers: bargaining power is clearly improving; negotiate on recent comparables and time on market.
- Sellers: rising prices don't excuse an inflated list price. With 15% more inventory, an overpriced home stays on the market longer than average.
