Hochelaga-Maisonneuve: buy or sell with the Steve Rouleau Team

Centris publishes its medians for the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough, without separating HoMa from Mercier. In the second quarter of 2026, they stood at $628,000 for a single-family home, $428,250 for a condo and $850,000 for a plex of two to five units. A property near Joliette metro and another in Mercier-Est do not sell at the same price. That is why we work with comparables from your street.

In the second quarter of 2026, in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough, a single-family home sold in 31 days on average, a condo in 36 days and a plex in 41 days, according to Centris. On the island of Montreal, the averages were 41 days for a house, 53 for a condo and 44 for a plex. A well-priced, well-presented property often receives offers from the first showings.

For many buyers, yes. Condos cost about $50,000 less there than the island median. Four Green Line stations put public transit within walking distance. Collège de Maisonneuve and the elementary schools serve families. Shopping has grown around the Promenade Ontario. HoMa attracts first-time buyers, young professionals, young families and plex investors. The right choice depends on your budget, your time horizon and the street.

The neighbourhood has many century-old duplexes and triplexes, some converted into cottages, as well as condos in recent buildings near Olympic Park and properties to renovate toward Notre-Dame. In the borough, condos lead sales (710 over twelve months), ahead of plexes (425) and single-family homes (161), which remain the rarest.

It is a common strategy in HoMa. You live in one unit and the rents from the others reduce your mortgage payment. You do, however, need to plan for managing leases and maintaining a century-old building. The down payment is also higher if the plex has more than two units. We calculate the net income and the cost of work with you before submitting an offer.

Yes, by an inspector who knows Montreal buildings from before 1930: stone foundations, wood joists, plumbing and wiring that are sometimes original, flat roofs and exterior staircases. The report is used to negotiate or withdraw a conditional offer. It also sets the renovation budget that we factor into the net income calculation. We recommend independent inspectors and attend the inspection with you.

In Québec, the broker’s remuneration is not set by law. It is agreed upon in the brokerage contract, most often as a percentage of the sale price. The seller pays it at the notary’s office, usually only if the property sells.

When the seller is represented, part or all of the buyer’s broker’s remuneration may be covered by the remuneration share offered by the seller’s broker. Any amount left for the buyer to pay is clearly set out in the brokerage contract to purchase. Other costs for the buyer to budget for are the welcome tax, notary fees and the pre-purchase inspection. Our welcome tax calculator gives you an estimate for a $428,000 condo or an $850,000 plex.
