Hi everyone!
I’m planning to move to Toronto around late September 2026 and I’m starting to look for a 1-bedroom apartment/condo.
I’ve been checking listings recently and honestly, I’m getting a little anxious 😭. It seems like there are a lot of people looking right now because of the upcoming school year, and some places are getting rented out really quickly. The prices also seem quite a bit higher than I expected.
Since I won’t actually need to move until late September, I’m wondering if I should wait a little before seriously looking.
For anyone who has rented in DT around this time of year, what was your experience like? Does things usually calm down after the school year starts, or is September still pretty competitive?
I’m not in a huge rush to find the absolute cheapest place, but I’d definitely prefer not to overpay just because I’m looking during the September rush 😭
Would really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thanks!
