約10年前には1部屋あたり10万ドル～15万ドルで購入可能だったアパートメントの1棟買い物件ですが、現在では1部屋あたりの単価が23万ドルにまで跳ね上がりました。これは依然として続く空室不足と、全体的な不動産高による家賃の上昇が影響しています。現在賃貸法の見直しが検討されており、不当な家賃値上げを抑制する動きもありますが、制度が追いつかないのが現状です。賃貸するにもダウンタウンは中々大変な状況です。

VANCOUVER —Vancouver-area apartment buildings are in high demand, in a rental market with the lowest vacancy rate and highest rents in Canada.Just as detached houses and condos in the city are fetching the highest prices nationally, so too the “price per door” for multi-family buildings is highest here, in the neighbourhood of $230,000 a unit.That compares to $171,000 a unit in Calgary and $160,000 in Toronto, according to a new report from Colliers International.

For those interested in saving up for a complex of five or more units — and just imagine the fun to be had on the first of every month, collecting those rent cheques — Colliers puts the average price of a Vancouver-area building at $4.8 million.

And the average rent in Vancouver is about $1,200.
