Investing in Anjou
Rental potential in Anjou
The industrial sector, with more than 600 businesses, and the Les Galeries d'Anjou commercial hub support demand for commercial and industrial space. The residential rental stock is made up mostly of plexes and apartment buildings. The extension of the Blue Line is a factor to watch, without taking its effect on rents or values for granted. A case-by-case analysis of income and expenses remains essential.
How we analyze a plex

The asking price compared with the building's income and with plexes sold in the area.

Comparable sales
Plexes recently sold in Anjou and the surrounding area, and the price per door, adjusted for the condition of the building.

Frequently asked questions
Real estate in Anjou
What type of investment can you find in Anjou?
There are plexes and apartment buildings, as well as commercial and industrial buildings thanks to the large industrial sector. Each building needs to be analyzed based on its income, its expenses and its condition.
What is the average price of a plex in Anjou?
For January to September 2026, 57 plexes (from duplexes to quintuplexes) were sold in Anjou, at an average price of $952,075 (source: Centris®). The right price for a building depends above all on its income: always compare the multiplier and the condition of the building.
How do you calculate the return on a revenue property?
Start with the gross income multiplier (price ÷ annual income), then calculate net income: rents minus taxes, insurance, energy, maintenance and vacancy. Then compare with similar buildings sold in the area. A good purchase is judged by actual income, not expected income.
What should you check in the leases before buying a building?
Ask for a copy of every current lease and renewal notice: rent, term, services included, special agreements. Compare the rents with the market in the area and check for vacant units. Leases stay with the building: the buyer takes them on as they are.
How much is the welcome tax on a plex in Anjou?
For an $800,000 plex, roughly $11,349 based on the City of Montreal's 2026 schedule. Plan for this amount on top of your down payment, which varies depending on the number of units and whether you live in the building.
