That trend picked up steam to close out the year, as well. Total lease volume in the fourth quarter increased 26% year-over-year to 5,628 units.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For now it seems condo investors can continue to rely on strong rental prospects, especially with Ontario\u2019s job creation \u2013 much of which has centred in Toronto \u2013 as well as continued immigration to the Hog Town.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ontario added 23,000 jobs in December.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Toronto is expected to reach a population of 9.4 million by 2041.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.canadianrealestatemagazine.ca\/news\/condo-investors-fear-not-202107.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Condo Investors : Fear Not<\/a> by Justin da Rosa | Canadian Real Estate Wealth<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renewed interest in purpose-built rental apartments may scare off potential condo investors but one industry veteran argues those fears are overblow. \u201cRight now the number of (purpose built rentals) will &hellip;
