Investing in Sainte-Julie

Rental potential in Sainte-Julie

Direct access to Highways 20 and 30 and the exo terminal support rental demand from workers on the South Shore and in Montreal. The rental stock includes duplexes, plexes and newer condo or apartment buildings. The industrial hub in the Lavoisier sector and the businesses along the main roads also attract a market for small commercial and industrial spaces.

Comparable sales

Plexes recently sold in Sainte-Julie and the surrounding area, and the price per door, adjusted for the condition of the building.

Frequently asked questions

Real estate in Sainte-Julie

What drives rental demand in Sainte-Julie?

Access to Highways 20 and 30 and the exo terminal with park-and-ride attract tenants who work elsewhere in the region. Businesses in the Lavoisier sector and local shops also contribute to economic activity.

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 Sainte-Julie?

For an $800,000 plex, about $13,111 according to the City of Sainte-Julie's 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.

How can you increase the value of a revenue property?

Reduce vacancy, maintain the units and common areas, improve energy efficiency and keep a clear record of income and expenses. Rent increases must comply with the rules of the Tribunal administratif du logement.
