Lac-Kenogami, Saguenay - October 2026 Real Estate Report
Lac-Kenogami Real Estate Right Now: Your Neighbour's Honest Take
The Vibe in Lac-Kenogami This Season
If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs around Lac-Kenogami lately, here's the straight story. The market is taking a breather. Values are nudging down over the short term, but the neighbourhood still holds its own against most of what's around it in Saguenay. Whether you own a house or a condo here, the picture looks a little different - so let's break it down.
Houses: Still the Stronger Hand
For those of us with houses in Lac-Kenogami, the average HonestDoor Price sits at $372,745 - up 1.66% from the previous period. That's a real number, not a guess. The short-term predicted value is $369,284, which is slightly off the 3-month moving average of $370,639. So yes, there's a small dip in the recent trend, but we're not talking about a freefall here.
What does that mean for your wallet? A house here is still worth roughly $70,000 more than a comparable home in Jonquiere ($299,499 predicted value) and noticeably more than Shipshaw ($336,131 HonestDoor Price). We're sitting above our neighbours on the price ladder.
- Average HonestDoor Price - Houses: $372,745
- Recent price change: -0.79%
- Estimated monthly rent: $1,891 - $1,907
- Rental yield: 5.85% - that's a strong return
- Airbnb potential: around $94 to $95 per night
- Airbnb rank in Saguenay: 2nd - near the top of the city
- Neighbourhood growth rank: 4 out of 6 in Saguenay
That Airbnb rank of 2nd in all of Saguenay is worth paying attention to. If you have a house here and you're not thinking about short-term rental income, you're leaving money on the table.
The growth rank of 4 out of 6 puts us in below-average territory for Saguenay right now. Honest answer - we're not leading the pack on appreciation. But we're priced well above our closest neighbours, which counts for something when it's time to sell.
Condos: A Tougher Spot Right Now
For condo owners in Lac-Kenogami, the numbers need a closer look. The average HonestDoor Price is $269,184, up 1.85% from the previous period - which sounds good. But the short-term predicted value has slipped to $264,281, down from a 3-month moving average of $265,013, and the recent price change is -1.83%. That's a more noticeable dip.
The rental yield on condos comes in at 4.20% - moderate, not spectacular. And the growth rank of 5 out of 6 in Saguenay puts our condos near the bottom of the city leaderboard right now. That's the honest truth.
- Average HonestDoor Price - Condos: $269,184
- Recent price change: -1.83%
- Estimated monthly rent: $1,401 - $1,425
- Rental yield: 4.20%
- Airbnb potential: around $69 to $71 per night
- Airbnb rank in Saguenay: 6th
- Neighbourhood growth rank: 5 out of 6 in Saguenay
One thing worth noting - nearby Shipshaw condos are averaging $591,400 and Laterriere is at $387,737. Lac-Kenogami condos are priced well below both. That could mean a buying opportunity, or it could reflect a real gap in demand. Either way, it's something to watch.
The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment
Here's the thing most homeowners in Lac-Kenogami don't realize. Your city assessment is a snapshot from the past - sometimes 12 to 24 months old by the time it lands in your mailbox. The market doesn't wait for paperwork.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual sales data and current market signals. Right now, that means a house owner here is looking at $372,745 as a live market read - not a number a city assessor locked in over a year ago. If you're making any decision about selling, refinancing, or even just understanding your net worth, the HonestDoor Price is the real-world check you need. Don't let a stale government number be the last word on what your home is worth.
So What Does This Mean If You're Thinking About Selling This Summer?
For house owners - this summer is still a reasonable window. You're priced above Jonquiere and Shipshaw, the Airbnb demand signal is strong (2nd in Saguenay), and rental yields are healthy enough that buyers looking at income properties will take notice. The short-term dip is small. If you've been sitting on the fence, waiting for a perfect peak that may not come, this is a decent moment to move.
For condo owners - be realistic about timing. A growth rank of 5 out of 6 and a recent price drop of nearly 2% means the market isn't working in your favour right now. That doesn't mean don't sell - it means price it right from day one. An overpriced condo in a softening segment will sit. A well-priced one at $264,000 to $269,000 can still find a buyer, especially compared to the much higher prices in Shipshaw and Laterriere.
Bottom line - check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. It takes two minutes and it's the most current number you'll find. That's the move.
