Vacancy Rates Rise While Rent Increases Slow in Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo, Says New Housing Report

  • Canada's housing agency reports that average asking rents for two-bedroom apartments are down year-over-year in Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, and Halifax due to increased supply and slower immigration.
  • Landlords in Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary report that vacant units take longer to lease, facing competition from well-supplied secondary rentals.
  • Despite some rent decreases, the report states that rent-to-income ratios have worsened since 2020, particularly in Vancouver and Toronto.
  • Vacancy rates are anticipated to rise this year due to slower population growth and sluggish job markets across major cities.
