Market context: house in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu
In May 2026, the residential market in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu recorded 88 documented sales transactions. The median sale price across these transactions stood at $551,750, while the average price reached $584,751. This neighbourhood positioned itself 2.6% above the median price for the city of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu as a whole, which recorded 219 sales over the trailing twelve months and a median price of $538,000, reflecting a slightly more expensive profile relative to the broader municipal market. The average time a property spent on the market before sale was 34 days, a measure that reveals a moderately active pace of transaction completion. This duration suggests neither a market dominated by rapid turnover nor one characterised by extended listing periods, but rather a balanced rhythm in which properties typically moved from listing to sale within a reasonable timeframe. For a buyer evaluating inventory levels and negotiating room, this metric indicates a market with steady momentum rather than extreme urgency on either side. The average sale-to-asking price ratio documented across the 88 sales was 0.992, meaning that properties in this dataset sold at approximately 99.2% of their asking price on average. This figure, derived from actual documented transactions, indicates a market in near equilibrium, where seller expectations and buyer valuations aligned closely without systematic pressure toward either substantial discounting or bidding above list price. The building profile across the 88 sales reflected a mature stock with some recent growth. Properties built before 1980 represented 31% of sales, homes constructed between 1980 and 2010 comprised 53% of transactions, and newer homes completed after 2010 accounted for 16% of the sample. This composition underscores a neighbourhood where mid-range vintage properties dominate, with a substantial older cohort and a smaller but meaningful share of contemporary construction. In the 88 documented transactions, 25% of sales were concluded without a legal warranty of quality. This situation is a standard due-diligence point in residential purchasing: buyers in such transactions should proceed with appropriate inspections and the customary checks that support an informed purchase decision, consistent with prudent acquisition practices in any market. For the buyer, understanding that properties here tend to sell close to asking price while spending about a month on market allows realistic budgeting and planning. For the seller, the neighbourhood's premium relative to the city median suggests solid positioning within the broader Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu market.
