The Greater Toronto Area is Canada’s largest metropolitan area and boasts the highest level of international immigration in the nation.  With a growing population of close to six million, and shifting demographics supporting increases in new renters, apartment properties will continue to remain in demand.  A robust economy and a tight labour market experiencing historically low unemployment rates continues to draw new renters to the city.

As of year-end 2008, Toronto’s vacancy rate tightened significantly, dropping to 2.0%.  This is down from 3.2% a year earlier.  Strong immigration should further fuel demand for rental properties, continually increasing rental rates, while keeping vacancy rates at record lows. The average rental rate for a 2 bedroom unit rose by 3.2% in 2008 to $1,095. Transaction volumes throughout the GTA reached $874 million in 2008, an increase of 5.0% from 2007.
