Average cost of rent in Canada
Prices are rising, and the prognosis is not good.
A November rental market report from Rentals.ca and research firm Urbanation found that the average Canadian rental price rose twice as much as the average wage over the year.
The year-over-year increase in rental prices was 11.8%, and the average rental price in October was $1,976 CAD. This is an average of rental property types such as detached and semi-detached houses, townhouses, apartments, and basement apartments.
"The rental market keeps getting hotter with each interest rate increase, coupled with a record high increase in the population," commented Urbanation President Sean Hildebrand.
