The vaccine rollout is occurring slowly, but there is no indication that the decline in rents is going to stop any time soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to many Realtors, the market for resale condominiums is picking up, and investors are looking for deals as prices declined year-over-year in the GTA in December. Despite the eviction ban, the more stringent AirBnB rules, and the rapid decline in rents, investors appear to be bullish on the outlook for condos. However, it is difficult to assess whether these investors are buying existing investor units, or buying from end-users, and thus further increasing rental supply.
