EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The total number of units surveyed in 2015 was 11,532. The response rate in 2015 was 89.3 per cent.

RENTAL RATES

The average rental rates by unit type were:

$628.00 for bachelor units, $756.00 for 1-bedroom units, $885.00 for 2-bedroom units, $984.00 for 3-bedroom units, and $1,253.00 for 4+ bedroom units.

The highest end of the rental ranges were for:

Bonnyville for bachelor units, Bruderheim for 1-bedroom units, Banff for 2-bedroom units, Fox Creek for 3-bedroom units, and Banff for 4+ bedroom units.

The lowest end of the rental ranges were for:

Crowsnest Pass for bachelor units, Coaldale/Grimshaw/Lac La Biche for 1-bedroom units, Claresholm for 2-bedroom units, Didsbury for 3-bedroom units, and Claresholm/Provost for 4+ bedroom units.

VACANCY RATES

The average vacancy rates by unit type were:

11.7% for bachelor units, 8.6% for 1-bedroom units, 7.4% for 2-bedroom units, 9.4% for 3-bedroom units, and 7.4% for 4+ bedroom units.

Vacancy rates in Alberta tend to increase and decrease in three to four year cycles. In 2015, consistent with the historical trend, the overall vacancy rate was up to 8.2 per cent, compared to 3.7 per cent in 2014.

Compared to 2014, 2015 vacancy rates:

decreased in 14 communities, increased in 49 communities, and did not change in three communities.

In 2015, Bruderheim, Drayton Valley, Grande Cache, Mille, Raymond, Swan Hills, Valleyview, and Vegerville experienced substantially higher vacancy rates than at any other point since 2006. Vacancy rates, which have been high in Vulcan since 2007, have dropped to zero in 2015.

Three communities (Black Diamond, McLennan, and Vulcan) reported a zero (0.0) per cent vacancy rate and four other communities (Jasper, Banff, Claresholm, and Ponoka) had vacancy rates of under one per cent.

VACANCY RATES BY RENTAL RATE RANGES

Vacancy rates were lowest for 4+ bedroom units renting at a range of $800 to $1,349.

With the exception of 3-bedroom units, vacancy rates were highest for units in the $1,350 rental range, compared to units in other rental range categories.

CONCLUSION

Vacancy rates have increased and decreased in a cyclical pattern with vacancy in rural Alberta communities being on an upward trend, having risen 3.7 per cent in 2014, up to 8.2 per cent in 2015.

Not only are vacancy rates up in general, in a number of communities they are at their highest point since 2006.

SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION

Since 1973, (with the exception of 2004), the Province of Alberta has conducted an annual Apartment Vacancy and Rental Cost Survey (AVS) of multi-family dwellings in Alberta’s rural communities. The survey identifies building type and age, unit type, number of units, rental rates, and the number of vacancies of private market rental units1 in rural communities. The eligibility criteria used in selecting communities for the survey are those:

with a population between 1,000 and 9,9992,

with thirty or more rental units, and which are not included in the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s (CMHC)

bi-annual Rental Market Survey.

Each year the number of communities surveyed by the AVS may differ due to changes in population or the number of rental units in the community.

In 2015, a total of 66 communities were surveyed:

Athabasca Drayton Valley Lac La Biche Spirit River

Banff Drumheller Mayerthorpe St. Paul

Barrhead Eckville McLennan Stettler

Bassano Edson Millet Sundre

Beaverlodge Elk Point Nanton Swan Hills

Black Diamond Fairview Olds Taber

Blackfalds Falher Peace River Tofield

Bonnyville Fort Macleod Penhold Two Hills

Bow Island Fox Creek Pincher Creek Valleyview

Cardston Hanna Raymond Vulcan

Carstairs High Level Rimbey Wainwright

Claresholm High Prairie Rocky Mtn. House Westlock

Coaldale Hinton Sexsmith Whitecourt

Crowsnest Pass Innisfail Slave Lake

Didsbury Jasper Smoky Lake

1 Note: See Section 5 for a definition of private market rental units. For the remainder of this report, the term private market rental unit has been shortened to rental unit.

2 The Survey does not include communities in urban areas with a population of 10,000 or more, as these areas are surveyed bi-annually by the CMHC.

PURPOSE

The AVS provides the housing industry, private sector, and various government ministries with housing information on vacancy and rental rates for multi-family rental dwellings in Alberta’s rural communities.

METHODOLOGY

The survey was conducted between the months of May and August. Data was gathered through a multi-mode data collection method (telephone/fax/email interviews) with apartment owners, managers, building superintendents, and property management agencies. The data reflects market conditions at the time of the survey. The survey identifies building type and age, unit type, number of units, rental rates, and the number of vacancies. All survey data records are subjected to computer validity checks and are adjusted for non-responses to ensure the data is an accurate representation of what was provided in the survey.

The survey includes non-subsidized rental buildings containing four or more rental units, including:

walk-up and high-rise apartment buildings, four-plexes, row/townhouses, and other multi-plex rental stock.

Store-top rental units are also included, as they represent a significant portion of the total rental stock in some communities.

The survey does not include:

rented single-detached duplexes, and semi-detached houses, individually owned and managed rental condominium units, and secondary-units such as basement suites, attic apartments, and garage suites.

In order for a rental unit to be included in the survey, it must be either occupied at market value, or be available for rent at market value. In buildings that include both non-subsidized and subsidized or affordable housing rental units, only non-subsidized units at market rates are included in the survey.

A total of 12,938 rental units comprised the unit universe, and from this total 1,178 units were owned or managed by those who elected to not participate in the survey or were unavailable for contact.

Of the remaining 11,760 eligible units identified, 228 units were occupied by the owner, rented at a discount below market rate (e.g. a caretaker discount, subsidized or affordable housing) or were unavailable for rent due to renovations. Therefore, the total number of eligible units accounted for by the survey in 2015 was 11,532.

See Appendix A for Table 1: Number of Rental Units Identified for more details by community.

According to the Data Collection Response Rate Calculation recommended by Statistics Canada, for the 2015 survey a total 1,096 respondent completed an interview, 88 cases were unresolved, and 43 were refusals, for a total Empirical Method response rate of 89.3 per cent.

The collection of this information is authorized under section 33(c) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the privacy protection provisions apply.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The annual Apartment Vacancy and Rental Cost Survey could not have been carried out without the cooperation of the rental property owners, managers, building superintendents, property management agencies, and municipal officials throughout Alberta. Alberta Seniors gratefully acknowledges and appreciates their assistance in the completion of this survey. This successful collaborative process ensures that the annual Apartment Vacancy and Rental Cost Survey Report is an accurate reflection of vacancies and rental costs in Alberta’s rural communities.

SECTION 5 – CONCLUSION

In comparison to 2014, rental rates for all unit types increased in 2015.

In 2015, 49 communites experienced an increase in vacancy rate from the previous year (up from 2014 where 26 experienced an increase in vacancy rate from 2013), three communites had the same vacancy rate as the previous year (down from seven communities in 2014), and 14 commuties reported decreased vacancy rates (down from 32 communities in 2014).

On average vacancy rates increased irrespective of type of building (i.e. high-rise, store-top, etc.), type of unit (bachelor suites, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, etc.), and age of building category with the exception of buildings that were less than 6 months old (which did not change much from 2014, and represents less than 1% of rental stock).

Despite increases in average vacancy rates across unit types since 2014, rental rates continue to increase across unit types with the exception of 4+ bedroom units, which may be the beginning of the reflection of the on-going economic impact related to the decreased price of oil.

When looking at vacancies by unit types, 4+ bedroom units saw the greatest overall increase.

In line with the tendency for vacancy rates to follow a cyclical pattern, in 2015, rural Alberta communities continued on an upward trend, rising from 3.7 per cent in 2014, up to 8.2 per cent in 2015.

In 2015, the overall vacancy rate was 8.2% - approximately 8 out of

every 100 rental units are vacant.
