We also see some relief on the upward pressure on rents from growing supply of purpose-built rental apartments,&#8221; the CMHC said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The high rent levels in the two markets reflect their deteriorating homeownership affordability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Entry-level home prices continue to remain high, relative to local incomes in Vancouver. This results in many potential homebuyers facing financial barriers to entry into homeownership.
