Jonquiere, Saguenay - September 2026 Real Estate Report

Jonquiere Real Estate Right Now: Steady, Affordable, and Worth Watching

If you live in Jonquiere and you have been wondering whether your home is worth more or less than last year, here is the honest answer. The market is not on fire, but it is not falling apart either. It is taking a breather. Here is what the numbers actually say.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos

For houses, we are sitting at an average HonestDoor Price of $311,479, down a tiny 0.31% from last period. The predicted market value comes in at $312,454, which is just a hair above the 3-month moving average of $312,489. Basically flat. One house sold recently, and the average sale price landed at $310,000. Price per square foot is around $302. Nothing dramatic, but nothing alarming either.

On the neighbourhood leaderboard, our houses rank 5 out of 6 for growth in Saguenay. That is a bottom-tier position for appreciation, but here is the flip side - we rank 1 out of 1 for affordability. That means Jonquiere houses are among the most affordable you will find in the city. For buyers, that is a real advantage. For sellers, it means pricing sharp matters more than ever.

• Average HonestDoor Price (Houses): $311,479
• Average Sale Price: $310,000
• Price Per Square Foot: $302
• Rental Estimate: $1,618 per month
• Rental Yield: 5.97% - that is a strong return

For condos, the story is a bit brighter. The average HonestDoor Price is $299,499, up 0.80% from last period. The predicted value of $297,113 is actually climbing above the 3-month moving average of $296,307, and recent property value change sits at plus 1.65%. That is a small but real positive signal. Condos here rank 4 out of 6 for growth - below average, but moving in the right direction.

Quick comparison for us locals - Shipshaw houses average $338,623 and Lac-Kenogami sits at $372,745. We are the more affordable option in this part of Saguenay, and that gap is not small.

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

Here is the thing about your city assessment. It is calculated once a year, sometimes based on data that is 12 to 18 months old. A lot can shift in that window. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual market activity. Right now, for houses, the HonestDoor Price of $311,479 and the predicted value of $312,454 are telling a very consistent story - one your old assessment simply cannot match for accuracy.

If your tax assessment says your home is worth $280,000 but the HonestDoor Price says $311,000, that gap is money left on the table when you go to price a listing or negotiate a sale. Do not let a stale government number set your expectations. Check your HonestDoor Price now - it is the real-world check that reflects what buyers are actually paying today.

The So What: Thinking About Selling This Summer?

If you are a house owner in Jonquiere and you are thinking about listing this summer, here is the straight talk. Values are essentially flat right now, down just 0.14% to 0.31% depending on which metric you use. That is not a crash - it is a slow market. Volume is thin, with only one house sale recorded recently. That means fewer competing listings, but also fewer active buyers.

Your best move is to price based on the HonestDoor Price, not gut feeling or what your neighbour got two years ago. At $302 per square foot, buyers are doing the math. If your home is priced right, it stands out in a low-inventory market. If it is overpriced, it sits.

For condo owners, the picture is slightly more encouraging. Values are ticking up, the 3-month trend is positive, and a rental yield of 4.17% makes your unit attractive to investor buyers too. If you have been on the fence, this summer is a reasonable window to test the market before fall uncertainty sets in.

Bottom line - Jonquiere is not a hot market right now, but it is a real one. Affordable, stable, and with solid rental returns for anyone holding long term. Know your number, price it right, and move with confidence.
