As the market continues to evolve, several factors\u2014including migration patterns, construction growth, and interest rates\u2014will play a crucial role in shaping rental prices in the year ahead. To gauge perspectives from both sides, we also surveyed landlords and renters about the current state of the rental market\u2014uncovering a clear divide in opinions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To provide a comprehensive analysis of these trends, Vancouver-based rental platform <a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">liv.rent<\/a> has released its 2025 Rental Market Trend Report. This report covers average rent prices, key market comparisons, and the driving forces behind these changes, as well as a forecast and predictions for the coming year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is a snapshot of the insights from this year\u2019s report.

Our data collection methods differ from some government agencies like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankofcanada.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bank of Canada<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statcan.gc.ca\/en\/start\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Statistics Canada<\/a> in that we only include current asking rent prices. Many official reports will include data for entire buildings in their reports, which tends to skew numbers lower since many units are already occupied and may be rent-controlled or rented for significantly lower than the current rates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For data related to influencing factors, our team refers to data from trusted sources like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statcan.gc.ca\/en\/start\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Statistics Canada<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canada.ca<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC)<\/a>, as well as gathering supporting information from media outlets such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CBC News<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/calgaryherald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Calgary Herald<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Globe and Mail<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyhive.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Daily Hive<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/niagaraindependent.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Niagara Independent<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on our data collection methodology, including what types of rental housing we look at, please consult the full reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Download the free 2025 liv.rent Rental Market Trend Report here for complete information on average rent prices and driving factors for B.C., Ontario, Alberta, and Quebec<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n\n.background-downloadable-report-2026-canada-rental-market-trend-rpt {\ntext-align: center;\ncolor: #303030;\nfont-family: 'Inter', sans-serif;\nfont-size: 24px;\n}\n\n.cta-block-downloadable-report-2026-canada-rental-market-trend-rpt p{\nfont-family: 'Inter', sans-serif;\ncolor: #303030;\nfont-weight: 400;\ntext-align: center;\nfont-size: 16px;\n}\n\n.cta-block-downloadable-report-2026-canada-rental-market-trend-rpt {\nbackground-color: #F5F5F5;\nborder-radius: 16px;\npadding: 30px;\ntext-align: center;\nmargin: 20px 0px;\n}\n.button-downloadable-report-2026-canada-rental-market-trend-rpt{\nmargin-top: 20px;\npadding: 12px 16px;\nbackground: #1D415E;\nborder: 0px solid white;\nbox-shadow: 0px 6px 8px -2px rgba(29, 66, 94, 0.4), 0px 12px 16px rgba(32, 121, 193, 0.15);\nborder-radius: 6px;\ncursor: pointer;\n\nfont-family: 'Inter';\nfont-style: normal;\nfont-weight: 600;\nfont-size: 14px;\nline-height: 16px;\ntext-align: center;\ncolor: #FFFFFF;\n\n}\n\n<\/style>\n\n\n<div class=\"background-downloadable-report-2026-canada-rental-market-trend-rpt cta-block-downloadable-report-2026-canada-rental-market-trend-rpt\">\n<h3><strong>Unlock exclusive insights into Canada&#8217;s rental market<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Download the full 2026 Rental Market Trend Report for in-depth insights and forecasts on average rent prices, regional market comparisons, key economic drivers, and emerging AI trends shaping Canada\u2019s rental landscape.<\/p>\n\n<button id=\"downloadable-report-2026-canada-rental-market-trend-rpt\" class=\"button-downloadable-report-2026-canada-rental-market-trend-rpt popmake-66917\">Download Report<\/button>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<br> \n\n<style> \n\n.button-rethink-way-you-rent { \n  background-color: #3E5B77; \n  border: 5px #26425C; \n  color: white; \n  padding: 10px 30px; \n  text-align: center; \n  text-decoration: none; \n  display: inline-block; \n  font-size: 15px; \n  margin: 5px 0px 20px 0px; \n  cursor: pointer; \n} \n<\/style> \n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-23097\" src=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Digital-Contracts-Cropped-2.gif\" alt=\"Find apartments &amp; houses for rent with the liv.rent app\" width=\"196\" height=\"370\" style=\"float:left;\"> \n\n<h3 style=\"color: #3E5B77;\">Rethink The Way You Rent<\/h3> \n\n<p>Not on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">liv.rent<\/a><\/strong> yet?
