Townhomes, duplexes, and single-family detached homes have all seen continuous increases in rental rates. Depending on the location and condition of the property, a half-duplex or townhome with three bedrooms and two bathrooms can rent for as much as $2200. The emergence of new properties and developments has kept rental prices from rising much, despite a minor increase in the cost of renting apartment-style units. However, because of their age, condition, and inadequate heating, basement apartments continue to be difficult to rent, particularly in older towns. Before these apartments may be rented for a greater price, they should be renovated to satisfy the demands of the market.
Edmonton has affordable housing compared to other significant Canadian markets. However, population growth has been raising Edmonton rental market rates, which is continuing in the second quarter of 2024. The vacancy rate in Edmonton has dropped across all property types from last year.
On the other hand, basement apartments that are being constructed in more recent markets to the southwest and west of Edmonton are getting positive feedback and are in high demand as long as they have decent parking alternatives. Keep in mind that a lot of people in Edmonton depend on their own cars, especially in newer areas where public transportation isn’t very good. Rental market in Edmonton is seasonal, and the spring and summer months have a big influence on rental velocity. Renewing their leases rather than moving out is a trend that we are witnessing more and more of this year. This suggests that there are less possibilities for rental properties in the city, which would lead to rental costs that are either higher or comparable to what tenants are now paying.
