For July to September 2026, Centris reports 289 condo sales in Ville-Marie, almost all of the borough’s 311 residential sales, at a median of $442,500, unchanged year over year.

Plexes of 2 to 5 units had a four-quarter median of $979,375, up 6%, on 81 sales, averaging 77 days. A median is the middle of what sold: a condo in Old Montreal and a row house in Sainte-Marie are priced on their own facts.

How much is the welcome tax on a downtown 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 $442,500, the duties come to about $4,748; at the four-quarter plex median of $979,375, about $14,937.
