Average rent drops for first time since 2021

Renters, Downsizers, and Home Sellers – Now is the Time to Take Action!

For the first time since July 2021, the average asking rent for all residential property types in Canada saw an annual decline in October. This shift is particularly noticeable in larger cities such as Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Montreal, where asking rents have dropped significantly:

  • Toronto: -8.7% for one-bedroom units
  • Vancouver: -9.1%
  • Calgary: -4.3%
  • Montreal: -4.6%

Month-over-month, rents also decreased by 1.9%, signaling a potential shift in rental market dynamics. If you’ve been considering downsizing and renting, now may be the perfect time to make the move.
