July 12, 2022 Market Update
Rental supply is growing in the ARMLS database, with single-family detached rentals growing fastest. On July 12, there were 2,012 single-family detached homes available for long-term rent with an average price per square foot of $1.57 per month. One year ago we saw 820 homes at $1.90 per square foot per month.
Apartments on offer for long-term rent number 443 at an average rent of $2.08 per square foot per month. Last year at this time we had 332 at an average of $2.13.
There are 33% more apartments and 145% more single-family detached homes on offer to tenants compared with 12 months ago.
The average rent asked has dropped 2% for apartments but 17% for single-family homes. The latter does not mean average rents have fallen 17%. It reflects a mix where far more lower priced rentals are being listed than in 2021.
However it is pretty clear that the era of rapidly rising rents is coming to an end.
