La Baie, Saguenay - October 2026 Real Estate Report
La Baie Real Estate Right Now: Houses Are Holding, Condos Are Sliding
The Vibe in La Baie
If you own a house in La Baie, the market is doing something worth paying attention to. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $334,442, and while that is down a hair (0.23% from last period), the predicted value is actually creeping up to $335,376 - above the 3-month moving average of $334,596. That is a market taking a breather, not falling apart. For us, that is actually a decent place to be.
Condos are a different story. The average HonestDoor Price for a condo here is $203,206, which sounds okay until you look at the predicted value of $202,021 - sitting below the 3-month moving average of $208,048. Values have shifted by -9.86% recently, and on the neighbourhood leaderboard for condo growth in Saguenay, La Baie ranks 6 out of 6. That is the bottom of the pack. If you own a condo here, that number deserves your attention right now.

How We Stack Up Against the Neighbours
Chicoutimi houses are predicted at $309,173 and Laterriere at $386,685. La Baie houses sit right in the middle at $335,376. We are not the cheapest option and we are not the priciest - but we are ranking 2nd for growth out of 6 comparable neighbourhoods. That matters. It means money coming into La Baie is moving faster than most of our neighbours.
On the condo side, Chicoutimi ($314,740), Laterriere ($387,737), and Tremblay ($326,812) are all priced significantly higher than La Baie condos. If you are a buyer, that gap looks like a deal. If you are a seller, that gap is the challenge you need to plan around.
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 The city looks at sales data, runs its numbers, and hands you a value that could be 12 to 24 months out of date by the time it lands in your mailbox. A lot can change in that time - and in La Baie right now, it clearly has.
The HonestDoor Price updates in real time. It is pulling from actual market signals today, not last year. For house owners sitting at $334,442 with a predicted value nudging up to $335,376, that real-time read is your actual negotiating position - not whatever number the city printed. Do not walk into a conversation with a buyer or a bank using a stale number when a live one is right here.
The So What - Thinking About Selling This Summer?
If you own a house in La Baie, this summer is worth a serious look. You are sitting in a neighbourhood ranked 2nd for growth in Saguenay, your predicted value is trending up, and a 5.94% rental yield means buyers who want income properties have real reason to come to the table. You have leverage. Use it.
If you own a condo, the honest advice is this: do not wait. The predicted value is already below the 3-month average, the recent change is -9.86%, and La Baie condos are ranked last for growth in the city. That does not mean you cannot sell - it means the window to get your best number may be closing. Check your HonestDoor Price today, price it sharp, and move before the fall market adds more competition.
Either way, the worst thing you can do right now is guess. Your HonestDoor Price is free, it is current, and it is the real-world check your tax assessment will never be.
