A Saint-Léonard plex, house or condo can be sold fast without going on the market: Bruce Malcolm buys it himself, as it is, with no inspection, no commission and a notary date that suits you. Saint-Léonard is a borough of the City of Montreal, so the buyer pays Montreal’s welcome tax. Plexes are the borough’s biggest category: in the four quarters to September 2026, Centris counts 140 plex sales at a median of $1,056,875.
What are plexes, houses and condos selling for in Saint-Léonard?
For July to September 2026, Centris reports 59 residential sales in Saint-Léonard, 20% below the third quarter of 2025: 26 plexes, 18 single-family houses and 15 condos, each too few for a quarterly median. New listings rose 13% to 132, and 163 properties were listed at the end of the quarter, up 25%, including 83 condos, up 36%, and 56 plexes, up 33%.
The four quarters from October 2025 to September 2026 give the medians. Plexes of 2 to 5 units: 140 sales, up 6%, at a median of $1,056,875, up 3%, averaging 43 days on market. Single-family houses: 70 sales, up 12%, at a median of $718,125, down 1%, averaging 47 days, 18 days quicker than a year earlier.

A duplex with one unit occupied by the owner and a fully rented triplex are not priced the same way, whatever the median says.
How did Saint-Léonard become a borough of plexes and family houses?
The City of Montreal traces Saint-Léonard from a farming village founded in 1886 to a building boom that took the population from 925 people in 1956 to 52,040 in 1971, when many families of Italian origin settled there and an urban plan shaped the streets still standing today. The borough now counts 79,495 residents on 13.5 km², according to the City’s key figures. Jean-Talon Street East crosses it from east to west with more than 240 shops and businesses. The civic heart groups the borough hall, the library, the Martin-Brodeur arena, the aquatic complex and Wilfrid-Bastien Park, and the City’s list of attractions includes 11 large parks and a cave. The City also points to the coming extension of the blue metro line.
How much welcome tax applies to a Saint-Léonard plex or house?
The buyer of a Saint-Léonard property pays Montreal’s transfer duties. The City’s 2026 scale: 0.5% on value up to $62,900, 1% between $62,900 and $315,000, 1.5% up to $552,300, 2% up to $1,104,700, 2.5% up to $2,136,500, 3.5% up to $3,113,000, and 4% over that. The base is the largest of the price paid, the amount in the deed, and the roll value times the 2026 comparative factor of 1.00. At the four-quarter plex median of $1,056,875, the duties are about $16,487. At the four-quarter single-family median of $718,125, they are about $9,712, and at the condo median of $422,125, about $4,442. The bill goes to the buyer, and the City asks for payment within 30 days of billing.

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.
