Home rental prices jump up in Lethbridge year-over-year
LETHBRIDGE, AB – It is getting more and more expensive to rent a home in Lethbridge.
The latest National Rent Report from Rentals.ca and Bullpen Research and Consulting shows that this is something Canadians in most parts of the country are experiencing.
“Average rental rates moderated in December after rents surged following the April market bottom, where rents had fallen by over 9 per cent annually,” says Ben Myers, President of Bullpen Research and Consulting. “It is too early to tell if Omicron will have a prolonged deflationary impact on the rental market, but Bullpen Research & Consulting and Rentals.ca still believe there will be significant upward growth in rents in 2022 in Canada’s major markets.”
In December 2021, a typical one-bedroom unit in Lethbridge rented for $994 per month, an increase of 4.63 per cent from the same period last year.
