  • CBC had an interesting blurb about this kind of study: it refers to asking rent, as opposed to what renters actually pay. Typically, most renters only see their rent go up, unless they move. Typically, when renters move equivalent homes will be the current inflated price - so the only way to reduce cost is to reduce amenities.

    Regardless however, it’s good that prices are falling.

    A new report says average asking rents in Canada have fallen back to levels seen three years ago, as April marked the 19th consecutive year-over-year decline.

    The latest monthly analysis from Rentals.ca and Urbanation, based on asking rents across the former’s listings network, says prices reached an average of $2,027, down 4.7 per cent from April 2025.
