Show Notes
Canada's rental market in 2024 saw record new construction and higher vacancy rates (2.2%), though still below historical averages.
New tenants faced 23.5% rent increases, while overall two-bedroom rents rose 5.4%. Despite more availability, affordability remained challenging as new construction focused on luxury units.
- Calgary led rent increases, while Toronto saw slower growth due to rent control and increased supply
- Calgary and Edmonton saw significant construction but longer vacancy periods
- Rent affordability remained a challenge, particularly in Ontario where payment delinquencies increased
