Frequently asked questions

Real estate in Châteauguay

What drives rental demand in Châteauguay?

The size of the city, the presence of the Hôpital Anna-Laberge, the shops and the buses to Montreal. The housing stock includes both plexes and multi-unit buildings.

What is the average price of a plex in Châteauguay?

From January to September 2026, 14 plexes (from duplexes to quintuplexes) were sold in Châteauguay, at an average price of $607,214 (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 Châteauguay?

For an $800,000 plex, roughly $12,877 according to the Ville de Châteauguay 2026 schedule. Plan for this amount on top of your down payment, which varies with the number of units and whether you live in the building.
