Wayne Hillier on Instagram: "CMHC MLI Select financing helped create a massive development boom in Edmonton, but investors overdid it. In 2024, Edmonton had low vacancy, strong rental demand and some of the best real estate investment opportunities in Canada. Then investors flooded the market and started building infill multiplexes everywhere. All that new rental supply increased vacancy and created downward pressure on rents, especially among similar new-build units competing for the same tenants. Just because financing makes a development possible doesn’t automatically make it a good investment. Edmonton real estate investors need to understand current supply, vacancy rates, realistic rents and tenant demand before buying or building. Do you think Edmonton’s multiplex rental market is oversaturated? #EdmontonRealEstate #RealEstateInvesting #EdmontonInvestor #MLISelect #CMHC"
