Quarterly Rent Statistics (QRS)

Summary of changes

Activity on this program started: January 01, 2025

Reference period of change - second and third quarters 2025

Estimates for all census metropolitan areas (CMAs) for the second quarter of 2025 should be used with caution because data from one platform were not available. The average asking rent for apartments was estimated with a regression model, using listings from other platforms when possible, as well as interpolation techniques. Meanwhile, the average asking rent for rooms was estimated using only linear interpolation.
Some estimates for the second and third quarters for the Calgary CMA are not available. The data published for this CMA should be used with caution, as they were modelled using a smaller sample of listings.
