What it changes for selling or buying a plex in Montreal
In Montreal, plex sales volume barely moved in dollars (+73% in nine years): sales (+0%) and the average price (+74%) rose little. It is a market running slow compared with the cities tracked, either because the plex stock is small and renews little, or because investors switched to other cities. For a seller, time matters more than price: fewer dollars in circulation means fewer buyers per listing; for a buyer, it is the market where you negotiate. The number of sales year by year is in home sales in Montreal; house sales volume, in house sales volume in Montreal.
How to read these figures
One volume, one number of sales and one average price per year for all of Montreal. Volume is a flow, not a value of the stock: it measures the money that changed hands in the year, not what all the city's plexes are worth. A record volume year can be a year of ordinary sales at high prices; the table gives both to tell. The Income property category includes duplexes, triplexes, quadruplexes and buildings of five units and more sold on Centris.
