Key Points
- Investment activity in Canada's major multifamily rental markets showed impressive year-over-year improvement in 2024, driven by falling interest rates and a renewed appetite from investors.
- Montreal led the country in investment volume during the first quarter of 2025, closely followed by Edmonton, which also saw one of the few increases in rent growth among Canadian cities.
- Despite the temporary slowdown in activity, purpose-built rental properties continue to attract investor interest as a relatively 'safe haven,' offering positive, stable cash flow from day one.
