Increased apartment construction and tenant turnover are expected to contribute to market equilibrium, slowing down price growth. Regions like Alberta may continue to experience above-average increases, while pricier markets in BC and Ontario are projected to see increases below the national average. Mark Consultant pledges to be your reliable partner throughout this process, providing guidance on immigration and settlement strategies tailored to your needs.
