GTA REALTORS(R) Release Q2 Rental Market Report
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 07/18/12 -- Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 4,771 leased condominium apartments through the TorontoMLS system in the second quarter of 2012, representing a three per cent increase over the second quarter of 2011. The number of apartments listed for rent in the second quarter grew at a faster pace compared to rental transactions - up 15 per cent year-over-year.
"Strong condominium apartment completions over the past year resulted in many investor-held units being listed for rent in the second quarter. While prospective renters did benefit from more choice compared to last year, market conditions remained tight enough to prompt annual average rent increases above the rate of inflation," said Toronto Real Estate Board President (TREB) Ann Hannah.
The average two bedroom apartment rent in the second quarter was $2,088. This represented an increase of four per cent in comparison to the same period in 2011.
"There have not been a lot of rental buildings completed over the past few years. Investor-held condominium apartments have filled a void for renters looking for units with modern finishes and amenities located in popular neighbourhoods. With this in mind, it is not surprising that the vacancy rate for condo apartments has been low and average rents have been increasing at a healthy pace," said Jason Mercer, TREB's Senior Manager of Market Analysis.
