Soaring Rent and Low Vacancy in Canada's Latest Market Report
Manage episode 399567706 series 3512504
The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) released its annual Rental Market Report last week. With the national vacancy rate hitting a historic low and rent prices on a relentless climb, renters across the nation are feeling the squeeze. In bustling urban centers like Toronto and Vancouver, the role of condominiums as makeshift rental units reveals a housing landscape in flux, with implications that touch everyone from anxious first-time homebuyers to investors looking to capitalize on the market.
In this 23-minute discussion, Smart Prosperity Institute economist Mike Moffatt and journalist Cara Stern discuss vacancy rates, rent averages and what the numbers really tell us.
