The analysis will delve into crucial factors including transaction volume, cost per unit (CPU), gross income multiplier (GIM), net income multiplier (NIM), and the capitalization rate. The primary objective of this analysis is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the market at a regional level.

During the same period, the cumulative number of transactions increased from 9 to 14. As these types of buildings are rare in the region’s existing inventory compared to smaller ones, the number of transactions remains limited. The cost per unit (CPU) decreased by 1.3% to $78,000. The gross income multiplier (GIM) saw an 18% increase, reaching 11.4%. Notably, the net income multiplier (NIM) experienced a significant surge of 76%, rising to 29.2 in September 2023 compared to 16.6 in September 2022.

In conclusion, the multi-residential market in Saguenay has experienced fluctuations during the analyzed period.
