New data from Urbanation shows rental construction accelerated sharply in Q4‑2025, up 42 per cent from 2024 and the highest annual total since the 1970s.

Multifamily market fundamentals weakened noticeably through 2025, and Yardi expects the conditions will remain fragile in the year ahead.

Average rent in Canada has dropped 3.1 per cent since last November to $2,074 marking the 14th consecutive month of annual decreases.
