Key analysis findings
Strong demand for rental units led to a slight decrease in the vacancy rate for traditional (purpose-built) units.
The average change in same sample rents increased as a result of strong demand without a proportional increase in supply.
The secondary rental market vacancy rate increased, with greater supply, in contrast with the purpose-built rental market.
