Real estate broker in Villeray: buy or sell with Steve Rouleau

Centris publishes its medians for the Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension borough, not for Villeray alone. Over the twelve months ending September 30, 2026, the median price of a single-family home there was $738,500. A condo’s was $497,562. A two-to-five-unit plex reached $856,250. A triplex near Jarry station and another near Fabre do not sell for the same price. That is why we work with comparables from your street.

According to Centris, a single-family home sold in 37 days on average in the borough over twelve months. A condo took 39 days and a plex, 49 days. On the island of Montreal, selling times were longer for all three types. The local real estate market therefore remains fast. A fair market value from the start of the marketing shortens the selling time even further.

For many buyers, yes. The neighbourhood has several metro stations on two lines, parks, schools and commercial streets. The Jean-Talon Market is within walking distance of the south end of the neighbourhood. On the other hand, single-family homes are rare and good properties go quickly. The right choice depends on your budget, your commute and the area.

The neighbourhood mostly has brick duplexes and triplexes, often with outdoor staircases and an alley out back. There are also condos, in converted plexes or small, more recent buildings. Single-family homes and cottages are rarer. In the borough, condos (291 sales over twelve months) and plexes (284) far outnumber single-family homes (90).

Two lines serve the neighbourhood. On the orange line, Jarry station is in the centre and Crémazie station is on the northern edge, toward Ahuntsic. On the blue line, De Castelnau and Fabre stations are in Villeray. Jean-Talon station, where the two lines meet, borders the neighbourhood to the south.

It is a common option for an owner-occupant. You live in one unit and your tenants’ rents help pay the mortgage. Before the offer, we check the current leases, the actual rents and the condition of the building with you. Our guide “Buying a triplex as a first real estate purchase” walks through the calculation.

In Québec, the title regulated by the OACIQ is real estate broker, even though people still often say real estate agent. The broker’s remuneration is not set by law. It is agreed in the brokerage contract, most often as a percentage of the sale price. The seller pays it at the notary’s office, and only if the property sells.

When the seller is represented, part or all of the buyer’s broker’s remuneration can be covered by the remuneration sharing offered by the seller’s broker. Any amount that remains payable by the buyer is clearly set out in the buying brokerage contract. Our article on real estate broker commission explains these notions. On the buyer’s side, also plan for the welcome tax, the notary’s fees and the pre-purchase inspection. Our welcome tax calculator estimates it based on your purchase price.

The seller, in most cases. The broker’s remuneration is agreed in the seller’s brokerage contract and paid at the notary’s office, and only if the sale closes. When the seller is represented, part or all of the buyer’s broker’s remuneration can be covered by the sharing offered by the seller’s broker. Any amount that remains payable by the buyer is clearly set out in the buying brokerage contract.
