The plex market grew in dollars far more than in transactions. Across the 23 cities tracked, +116% of volume between 2016 and 2025 for +23% of sales: most of the increase is the average price, +76%. The plex has two clienteles, the owner-occupant who counts the neighbour's rent and the investor who counts the yield, and its volume grows when both buy at the same time. The plex's share of dollars exchanged in houses and plexes, 20% in median, varies widely from one city to the next with the weight of duplex and triplex neighbourhoods. The volume peak is 2025 in 15 cities and 2021 in 7; volume doubled in 20 cities and sales fell in 1. For a seller, a growing volume is a market that absorbs; for a buyer, it is competition rising. House volume, for comparison, is in sales volume by city.
Volume adds the sale prices closed in the year across the whole municipality; it rises with price and with the number of sales. 2016 and 2025 are two full years; 2026 counts January to September. The average price is the volume divided by the number of sales; it rises as soon as a handful of large buildings sell, which is why the median price (plex prices by city) remains the reference for pricing. The plex share compares plex volume with plex and single-family house volume combined.
Statistics module of Centris (Matrix), October 10, 2026 queries, one query per city (Income property category, sales volume in dollars and number of sales by year over ten years); house sales volume, October 2, 2026 query. Only aggregates are published. The average plex price and its gap with the median are in average plex price by city; the number of sales by type, in home sales by city.
Because a plex is bought on credit twice: the buyer finances the building and the lender counts the rents to qualify them. When rates rise, as in 2023, a plex's yield falls below the cost of money and investors wait, while the owner-occupant sees the monthly payment climb faster than the neighbour's rent: sales drop and volume with them. When rates come down, both come back at the same time, and volume rebounds harder than house volume.
We publish the cities where enough plexes sell each year for a volume that means something. A broker from the team can pull the same volume for any municipality or borough, and by type (duplex, triplex, quadruplex).
