More to pick from

In housing, the Spring Market sees a noticeable increase in availability across Ontario. This allows renters to have more choice and flexibility when searching for that special place. Listings typically increase in the gear up for the renting season, as more renters transition ahead of the summer months. For renters, more inventory means more chances to compare layouts, and lifestyle offerings. Renters have a greater choice of location, community amenities, and even suite sizes. If more space or a shorter commute is a new priority, spring is the best time to search the market. More selection at amenity-rich new-build communities like 3030 Pharmacy is encouraging renters to make the most of the active spring leasing season.

Sunny days ahead

Let’s face it – spring is the peak moving season in Ontario because of the weather. It’s that few sweet weeks between the winter’s snow and cold, and the heat and humidity of summer! The absence of ice and freezing temperatures simplifies logistics and reduces the risk of weather-related delays or damages. The milder weather makes moving more manageable. Additionally, with more daylight, scheduling is made easier. The summer months often present their own moving obstacles in the form of high heat adding strain to the process. The temperate spring conditions make for the perfect time to move, avoiding heat and cold – all you need is a light jacket!

Get going

As the lead up to summer grows, so does the moving season. Getting ahead of the crowd by moving in the spring gives access to better availability before the market spikes. Peak moving season in Ontario typically runs from June through September as many plan summer breaks around their big moves. It also follows the flux of student renters either returning home for the summer or coming back for the start of the next school year. A spring move also helps with cost savings, as prices for movers and other supplies tend to go up in the summer months as demand surges.
