US rental markets, in general, are finally experiencing some “normality” in rental pricing, rate of increases, and availability as we move through the second quarter of 2024. Canadian trends also have their own ‘new normal’, which unfortunately can be defined as sustained high rental rates and limited availability. Mexico’s economy closely tracks to the US, with slower growth this year, but an overall positive outlook, especially related to corporate relocation activity and rental rates in key locations.

Read our latest updates below, gathered from Dwellworks experts across North America, to see the economic factors at play.

 

# **US Trends**

- The average increase rate for rental units has slowed to 2.5% nationally
- The national vacancy rate is 6.6%, which is good news for renters in most markets. There is good availability in most Midwest markets while Coastal locations are still struggling
- Renters are still heading to major urban locations – NYC has one of the lowest vacancy rates in the country at 1.4%
- Delivery of new construction happened in many markets in 2023, bringing supply more in line with demand. However, current high interest rates mean fewer new units are under construction for delivery in 2024/2025 
- Some Sunbelt markets are overbuilt, leading to landlord concessions
- Renting is still less expensive than buying in most US markets, and the renter population will remain high until interest rates decline and the housing supply increases 
- Renters prefer to preview options online and use digital resources to tour and sign leases (per Zillow Research)  

**Canada Trends**

- Canada welcomed over 500,000 new immigrants in 2023, as the country continues to build its workforce 
- Most immigrants move to key employment markets such as Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, where vacancy rates remain very low (1-2%)
- Rent increases in Canada are regulated and there is limited turnover as tenants protect their guaranteed rates
- Low unit turnover plus limited new construction means demand far exceeds supply
- Federal and provincial governments continue to review and regulate short-term ‘Airbnb-like’ rentals in an effort to increase rental inventory overall

**Mexico Trends**

- Mexico’s economic growth rate is slowed but remains positive
- All eyes are on the June 2 elections for any changes in economic policy
- Housing is in good supply in most markets, keeping prices manageable 
- Rental costs in preferred Mexico City neighborhoods have increased due to increased expat activity and are comparable to rents in most major US metros
- Short-term and long-term rentals are available in secondary markets such as Monterrey, Guadalajara, and San Luis Potosi, but inventory is more limited
