The average cost of rent in Canadian cities for November (MAP)
As we cross the halfway mark of November, PadMapper is reporting that the country’s two priciest cities “continued their descent.”
According to PadMapper’s latest report, the rent price free-fall in the nation’s two priciest markets has continued as Vancouver’s one-bedroom rent has hit its lowest mark since April 2017.
Overall across Canada, 15 cities experienced a “downward monthly rent price change,” five were trending upward, and four remained flat.
“As we head into the end of the year, it seems the general demand for rentals have continued to drop as the majority of the markets in this report saw prices on the decline,” says PadMapper.
