Frequently asked questions

Real estate in Longueuil

What drives rental demand in Longueuil?

The metro, Collège Édouard-Montpetit, the Université de Sherbrooke campus, Charles-LeMoyne and Pierre-Boucher hospitals and the aerospace hub. These drivers attract students, healthcare workers and industry employees, each with their own housing needs.

What is the average price of a plex in Longueuil?

From January to September 2026, 284 plexes (from duplexes to quintuplexes) were sold across the Montreal agglomeration, at an average price of $858,077 (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 Longueuil?

For an $800,000 plex, about $12,659 according to the City of Longueuil's 2026 schedule. Plan for this amount in addition to the down payment, which varies depending on the number of units and whether you live in the building.
