But rents are rising across the country. The average listed rent for all property types in Canada rose 10.7 per cent year-over-year in January, the ninth straight month for double-digit increases, the report notes.
However, month-over-month prices are down. The average listed rent for all property types was $1,996 in January, decreasing 0.5 per cent from December after averaging above $2,000 during the previous two months across Canada.
“The Canadian rental market started 2023 where it ended in 2022, posting sharp annual rent growth amid low supply and quickly rising demand,” said Shaun Hildebrand, president of Urbanation. “Outside of Toronto, rent increases are becoming more acute in markets in BC and Alberta, which are experiencing relatively strong rates of population growth.”
While many people enjoyed a drop in rents during the pandemic, prices are now well above pre-pandemic averages. Rents in Canada have increased 9.5 per cent since January 2020.
