❓ How to sell your house in Quebec in 2025-2026 without stress… and at the right price?

You are thinking of selling your property between fall 2025 and spring 2026, but you wonder:

• Is this the right time to sell?
• Is the market still favorable to sellers?
• Where to start so as not to make a mistake?

You are clearly not the only one asking these questions. Let's see how to transform this project into a structured approach… and much more serene.

🧭 Understand the context before getting started

The Quebec real estate market is entering a more balanced phase :

we're no longer in an overheated market, but well-prepared sellers still come out on top.

In short :

• Interest rates are stabilizing, which restores confidence among buyers.
• Normal sale timelines are around 45 to 60 days for a single-family home.
• Buyers are better informed, more selective and compare more.

🧠 What this means for you :

You don't have to sell “at any price” or in a panic. But you can no longer afford an improvised listing or a price set “by feeling.”

💡 The 3 levers that really make a difference

Rather than complicate things, focus on 3 elements you actually control.

1️⃣ The listing timing

• Spring 2026 : high visibility, many buyers, but more competition.
• Autumn 2025 : fewer listings, so more visibility for good properties.
• Winter : fewer visits, but very motivated and prequalified buyers.

👉 The “best” moment isn’t the same for everyone: it depends on your deadlines, your family situation and your relocation.

2️⃣ Property preparation

A few simple actions can completely change a buyer’s perception :

• Do a critical walkthrough with a broker.
• Declutter, tidy up, clean thoroughly.
• Fix small things that stand out (silicone seal, broken handle, faded paint).
• Highlight light, space and entry: the 30 first seconds of a visit are decisive.

💬 Buyers visit with the heart… but buy with the head:

a clean, bright and well-presented home reassures and justifies better the asking price.

3️⃣ The price… and the strategy

Setting the right price isn’t guessing, it’s analyzing :

• Recent comparables in your area.
• Current demand for your type of property.
• Strengths and weaknesses of your home compared to others.

Too high ➜ the property drags on, buyers become wary.

Too low ➜ you leave money on the table.

🎯 The right price is the one that attracts the right number of buyers in the first weeks, while staying consistent with market reality.

🤝 Getting good support to sell intelligently

Today, more than 80% of residential transactions in Quebec are handled with a broker.

And that’s no accident.

The role of a broker isn’t just to put up a sign and take pretty photos :

• read the market in YOUR neighbourhood, not just in general;
• choose the right moment to put the property on the market;
• help you prepare the property (and prioritize what really matters);
• set a realistic and advantageous pricing strategy;
• manage visits, offers, negotiations and timelines up to the notary.

💬 Selling intelligently means selling with a method, not just with hope.

🎯 And concretely, if you’re thinking of selling in 2025-2026…

If you’re considering selling your house, condo or rental building in the coming months, the ideal is to :

1. Talk about it early, before you’re in a rush.
2. Validate if timing (autumn, winter, spring) works in your favor.
3. Do a market evaluation and a realistic preparation plan based on your situation.
