Jonquiere, Saguenay - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Jonquiere Real Estate Right Now: Steady Houses, Shifting Condos

If you own a place in Jonquiere and you haven't checked your home's value lately, now is a good time to pay attention. The market here is telling two different stories depending on what you own - and one of them is more urgent than the other.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos

Let's start with houses, because the news is pretty solid for us on that side of the fence.

• Average HonestDoor Price for houses: $312,454
• Recent sale price average: $310,000
• Price per square foot: $302
• Predicted market value: $312,904 - up from the 3-month average of $312,779
• Estimated monthly rent: $1,625
• Rental yield: 5.96%
• Neighbourhood growth rank: 2 out of 6 in Saguenay - above average
• Price rank: 1 out of 1 - among the most affordable in Saguenay

Houses in Jonquiere are holding their ground. Values are essentially flat but the trend line is pointing slightly up. A 5.96% rental yield is genuinely strong - that means if we rented our house out, we'd be earning close to $1,625 a month. That's not nothing. Ranking 2nd out of 6 comparable neighbourhoods for growth puts us near the top of the Saguenay leaderboard. Shipshaw edges us out on price at $337,252, but we're ahead of Lac-Kenogami at $290,533.

Condos are a different conversation.

• Average HonestDoor Price for condos: $297,113 - up 1.65% recently
• Predicted market value: $292,303 - slightly below the 3-month average of $292,560
• Estimated monthly rent: $1,516
• Rental yield: 4.18%
• Recent value change: -2.40%
• Neighbourhood growth rank: 4 out of 6 in Saguenay - below average

The HonestDoor Price for condos ticked up 1.65%, which sounds good. But the predicted value is actually drifting down from its 3-month average, and the -2.40% recent change is worth watching. A 4.18% rental yield is moderate - not bad, but not the kind of number that makes investors jump out of their chairs. On the Saguenay leaderboard, condos here rank 4th out of 6. We're in the bottom half. Tremblay condos are sitting at $331,762 and Shipshaw is way up at $557,075, so there is a wide range above us.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment

Here is the thing about your city assessment - it is a snapshot from the past. The city looks at sales data, runs its numbers, and then that figure sits frozen until the next assessment cycle. A lot can change in a year or two.

The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It reflects what is actually happening in the market right now, not what was happening when the city last did its homework. For houses in Jonquiere, the HonestDoor Price of $312,454 is already tracking close to the recent actual sale average of $310,000. That alignment tells us the number is grounded in reality.

If you are making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just figuring out if your insurance coverage makes sense - the HonestDoor Price gives you a real-world check that your tax bill simply cannot.

The So What: Thinking About Selling This Summer?

If you own a house in Jonquiere, the timing is reasonable. Values are stable, the growth rank is above average for Saguenay, and buyers looking for affordability compared to other neighbourhoods will find us competitive. You are not leaving money on the table by listing now, but you are also not sitting on a rocket ship. Price it right and it moves.

If you own a condo, take a breath before rushing to list. The recent -2.40% value shift and a below-average growth rank suggest the condo segment here is taking a breather. That does not mean panic - a $297,113 average HonestDoor Price is still real money. But if you have flexibility on timing, watching the next couple of months of data would be smart.

Either way, the first step is knowing your actual number. Check your HonestDoor Price before you call an agent, before you set a listing price, and before you assume your tax assessment tells the whole story. It doesn't.
