What it changes for selling or buying a plex in Gatineau
In Gatineau, the average lies a little: at $758,749, it is 23% above the median plex ($617,750), because a few expensive sales (buildings of six units and more, new triplexes) weigh heavily in a market of 264 sales. For the seller of an ordinary duplex or triplex, the reference price is the median, the rents and comparable sales in the neighbourhood, not the city average; listing at the average price means waiting for a buyer who wants a bigger building. For a buyer, the average says there is a segment of large buildings here, and that the median plex negotiates 5% below asking. The median price and its trajectory are in plex prices in Gatineau; the same calculation for houses, in average house price in Gatineau.

The median, and above all the rents and recent sales of comparable plexes. The city average places the market, it does not set a price: an ordinary duplex listed at the average price waits for a buyer who wants a bigger building. The median asking price ($649,900) and the sold-to-asking ratio (-5%) say what sellers listed and what they got.
