    • What you can get for the average price of rent in your city

    Share

    Canada’s inflation rate jumped to 8.1 per cent for the month of June, according to data released by Statistics Canada on Wednesday. With the price of goods and services on a steady incline, Canadians are also seeing a rise in the average price of rental units across most major cities.

    According to Zumper, a rental listing platform, three-quarters of major Canadian cities included in the saw an increase in average rent prices for a one-bedroom apartment month-over-month.

    In Vancouver, for example, the average price of a one-bedroom unit reached $2,300 per month in July, the highest price for a single-bedroom apartment in the country. Rental units in Toronto had the second highest average price per month at $2,100 for a one-bedroom unit. The average price of a two-bedroom apartment in the country’s most populous city is $2,700 per month. Rounding out the top five most expensive markets in Canada is Burnaby, B.C., Victoria, B.C. and Oshawa, Ont.

    According to Zumper, the combination of low levels of unemployment with climbing interest rates is expected to drive up competition within the rental market space, fuelling the trend of rising rent prices Canadians have seen over the last few months.

    Based on the average rental prices calculated by Zumper, CTVNews.ca has gathered a list of apartments currently available for rent across Canada.
