Shipshaw, Saguenay - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Shipshaw Real Estate Right Now: Your Neighbour Knows, Do You?

The Vibe in Shipshaw

If you live on a quiet street in Shipshaw and you have been wondering what your place is actually worth right now, here is the honest answer. The market here is holding steady, and depending on what you own, the story gets pretty interesting.

Let us break it down by property type, because houses and condos are telling two very different stories this season.

Houses: Solid Ground With a Minor Dip

The average HonestDoor Price for a house in Shipshaw sits at $337,252. That is down a slim 0.88% from the previous period - basically a pause, not a plunge. Think of it as the market catching its breath after a strong run.

The forward-looking numbers are even more reassuring. The predicted market value for houses is $340,029, which is creeping up past the 3-month moving average of $339,413. That upward tick matters. It means momentum is quietly building, not fading.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $337,252
• Predicted Market Value: $340,029
• 3-Month Moving Average: $339,413
• Recent Value Change: +0.26%
• Average Rental Estimate: $1,757 per month
• Rental Yield: 5.91% - that is a strong return
• Airbnb Estimate: $87 to $88 per night
• Neighbourhood Growth Rank: 2 out of 6 in Saguenay

That growth rank is worth pausing on. Out of 6 comparable neighbourhoods in Saguenay, Shipshaw houses land at number 2 on the leaderboard. We are not at the top, but we are firmly in the above-average tier. Nearby Tremblay comes in at $336,408 and Jonquiere at $312,454 - both cheaper, and both trailing Shipshaw on predicted value.

Condos: The Quiet Overachiever

Here is where Shipshaw gets genuinely surprising. Condos are not just holding - they are leading the entire city.

The average HonestDoor Price for a condo here is $557,075, up 1.07% from the previous period. The predicted market value is $551,175, and that number is climbing well past the 3-month moving average of $538,325. A 2.69% recent value change is not a small number in a market like Saguenay.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $557,075
• Predicted Market Value: $551,175
• 3-Month Moving Average: $538,325
• Recent Value Change: +2.69%
• Average Rental Estimate: $2,725 per month
• Rental Yield: 3.73% - moderate but respectable
• Airbnb Estimate: $136 per night
• Airbnb Rank in Saguenay: 1st - the top spot in the city
• Neighbourhood Growth Rank: 1 out of 6 in Saguenay

Number 1 out of 6 on the growth leaderboard. And that Airbnb rank of 1st in all of Saguenay is not a small detail if you are thinking about short-term rental income. Nearby condos in Tremblay average $331,762, Jonquiere sits at $297,113, and Lac-Kenogami comes in at $269,213. Shipshaw condos are in a different weight class entirely.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Beats Your Tax Assessment Right Now

Here is the thing about your city assessment - it is a snapshot from the past. The city looks at sale data from a set window, runs its numbers, and mails you a piece of paper. By the time it lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved on.

The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It pulls from current sales, current trends, and current demand. For Shipshaw condo owners especially, that gap between your old assessment and your actual market value could be significant. A 2.69% recent change and a climb from $538,325 to $551,175 in just three months is the kind of movement a static government document will never capture fast enough.

Check your HonestDoor Price now. Do not wait for the city to tell you what your home is worth six months from now.

The So What - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

If you own a house in Shipshaw, the market is not running away from you, but it is not waiting forever either. Predicted values are nudging upward, rental demand is real at $1,757 per month, and sitting at number 2 on the Saguenay growth leaderboard means buyers shopping this area have good reason to choose Shipshaw over cheaper alternatives nearby.

If you own a condo, the case for listing this summer is even stronger. You are sitting on the top-ranked growth neighbourhood in Saguenay right now. Predicted values are rising, short-term rental income potential is the best in the city, and your neighbours in Tremblay, Jonquiere, and Lac-Kenogami are all priced well below you. That gap is your leverage.

The bottom line - Shipshaw is not flashy about it, but the numbers put us near the top of the city right now. If you have been sitting on the fence about selling, this is a good summer to get off it.
