Renters are reaching deeper into their pockets to pay for their condominium in Oakville.
The average price of monthly rentals continued to rise in June across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and it’s no different in Oakville, according to the latest Bullpen Research and Consulting and TorontoRentals.com Toronto GTA Rent Report.
Oakville condominium renters paid six per cent more on average this past month, shelling out $2,384. That’s a 5.7 per cent increase from this time last year.
Across the GTA, average monthly rent increased by 19 per cent year over for all property types in June to $2,403 from $2,018 in June 2021.
Following May’s 5.7 per cent month-over-month increase, average rents jumped another 3.1 per cent in June, the second highest monthly increase in over three and a half years.
“Following two consecutive months of outsized rent growth of over 3 per cent monthly, average rents in the GTA are up 19 per cent annually, but remain below peak levels from late 2019,” said Ben Myers, president of Bullpen Research & Consulting.
