Can I sell a Saint-Henri or Pointe-Saint-Charles plex with tenants in it?

Yes. In Quebec a lease survives the sale of the building, so tenants stay and their leases continue with the new owner. Tell Bruce which units are occupied, and the rents if you have them, when you fill out the form.

Do you buy Griffintown condos too, or only plexes?

Bruce looks at condos, plexes and houses. The form asks for the unit number if there is one. For a condo, the declaration of co-ownership and recent syndicate minutes help, but you do not need them to ask for an offer.

Who is Bruce Malcolm, and does he list houses?

Bruce Malcolm is a private buyer who buys houses himself, with no listing. He holds no real estate licence and does not sell houses for other people.

Can an estate sell a house in Émard or Saint-Paul as it is?

Yes, once the liquidator has authority to sell, which the notary will confirm. Bruce buys the house as it is, with its contents, and you do not need to repair, repaint or clear it out first.

Where do the market numbers on this page come from?

From Centris real estate statistics for Montréal (Le Sud-Ouest), third quarter of 2026, published by the QPAREB. Neighbourhood descriptions and key figures come from the City of Montreal, and the welcome tax brackets from the City’s transfer duties page.

For July to September 2026, Centris reports 206 condo sales in the borough, about three quarters of its 268 residential sales, at a median of $512,500, up 4% year over year.

Only 15 single-family houses sold in the quarter, too few for Centris to publish a median. Over the last four quarters the single-family median was $1,008,875 on 72 sales, up 16%. Total sales fell 10% while total active listings rose 9% to 894, so there is more choice for people buying than a year ago. A median is the middle of what sold: a triplex in Pointe-Saint-Charles and a condo in Griffintown are priced on their own facts.

Which parts of Le Sud-Ouest are we talking about?

The City of Montreal describes five neighbourhoods: Pointe-Saint-Charles, home of the Maison Saint-Gabriel; La Petite-Bourgogne, where Oscar Peterson and Oliver Jones grew up; Saint-Henri, around the Atwater Market and the Lachine Canal, which reopened in 2002; Émard and Saint-Paul, with quiet tree-lined residential streets; and Griffintown, where many new residential buildings now stand. The borough has seven metro stations and 120 parks and green spaces, and the City puts its population at 94,541 on 15.7 km².

How much is the welcome tax on a Sud-Ouest condo or plex?

The 2026 Montreal brackets are 0.5% to $62,900, 1% to $315,000, 1.5% to $552,300, 2% to $1,104,700, 2.5% to $2,136,500, 3.5% to $3,113,000 and 4% above. The duties are calculated on the highest of the price paid, the value stated in the deed and the roll value multiplied by the comparative factor (1.00 in 2026). The buyer pays them, but they shape what any buyer can offer. At the Q3 2026 condo median of $512,500, the duties come to about $5,798; at the plex median of $860,000, about $12,549.

This is general information about how a sale usually works in Quebec. It is not legal, tax or financial advice, and it is not a promise about your price or your date. A notary — and, if your file needs it, a lawyer or a licensed insolvency trustee — applies the rules to your situation. Sending an address does not commit you to sell.
