Gap of each construction era's median price on the city's median plex, sales from January to September 2026. n/a: fewer than 10 sales.
Where a recent plex costs the most: Trois-Rivières (+110%), Sherbrooke (+97%), Montreal (+65%). Where it costs the least: Gatineau (+28%), Terrebonne (+21%), Laval (+18%). Since 2016, plexes from 1959 and earlier gained more value than plexes from 2000 and later in 7 cities out of 8 comparable (median increase: +120% against +106%; all plexes +116%).
Brackets follow the year built declared on the Centris listing; they are fixed. The gap compares groups of plexes, which also differ by number of units, rents, lot and neighbourhood, not the effect of age alone.
Centris (Matrix) Statistics module, queried on October 23, 2026 with the same parameters for each city: Income property category, closed sales, median sale price and number of sales per year from 2016 to 2026 (2026 from January to September), for each bracket of the "Year built" field (1959 or less, 1960-1979, 1980-1999, 2000 and more) and with no criterion. Fewer than 10 sales, or a median below 40% or above 250% of all plexes: median left blank. A city is published if at least three eras have enough publishable years, including 2026. Aggregates only. Past results do not guarantee the future.
Our other plex series:
Each series is recalculated from actual sales, aggregates only.
Recent costs more to buy; old requires a work budget and a serious inspection, but its price per unit is often lower. Compare price, actual rents and the work ahead before choosing: a broker on the team can do it with you.
We publish cities with enough plex sales per era for reliable medians. A broker on the team can pull the same statistics for any area.
