The rental apartment vacancy rate in Greater Vancouver dipped slightly to 1.9 per cent in October 2010, from 2.1 per cent a year earlier.
Why did the vacancy rate drop to 1.9%? Employment growth, steady migration to the region and a slowdown in first time home buyer activity have kept rental demand strong. Also, the secondary rental pool grew by more than 7,500 units, nearly half of which were investor-owned rental condos.
