What it changes for buying or selling a plex in Montreal
In Montreal, the duplex is expensive, $840,000 in median, and it is priced about like a house (the median house is worth $755,000). This is the owner-occupant's market, someone who rents out the other unit to lighten their mortgage, more than the pure investor's: at $420,000 per unit, the rent rarely covers the loan with 20% down. The triplex and quadruplex, at $310,667 and $271,250 per unit, are the buildings where the yield calculation makes sense again, and where buyers are investors comparing with other cities. The price of all plexes combined and its trajectory are in plex prices in Montreal; the time to sell a building, in plex days on market in Montreal.
How to read these figures
One price per year and per type for all of Montreal. Ten-year increases are read with the number of sales beside them: a triplex at $932,000 on 641 sales in 2026 is a solid benchmark, a quadruplex on 277 sales is an indication. The years of decline shown are often changes in the mix (more small buildings sold one year) rather than a real drop; read three-year trends. The price per unit does not replace the gross rent multiplier, which is in our plex-per-unit pages.
