Canada's real estate consists of two busy segments- commercial and residential, and within these, there exists a rental market.
With housing being the core necessity, the market is always active. During October, the rent surged across Canada, according to a Rentals.ca report. The rents witnessed a rise of 11.8 per cent YoY (year-over-year) to an average of C$ 1,976 across all types of property. The annual increase in the rents was more than double the annual increase in employees' average hourly wages of 5.6 per cent. There has been a growth in rents across Canada, and the markets have reported reporting double-digit annual rent inflation.
The rise in rents is directly proportional to the rise in interest rates. Despite the lowering of house prices, the rent increase has contributed to the competitiveness of Canada's rental market.
Amid these changes, the investors need to analyze the present and past trends to select their stocks. The current factors alone may not clarify the entire market and sector. Hence, proper research is required to reposition your portfolio per changing trends. Amid the rise, let is look at five real estate rental stocks and explore their recent financial performances:
