Barrie Rental Market Dynamics & Local Trends

Key Residential Rental Market Overview

Barrie represents an important rental submarket, offering a diverse mix of 9 condominium and apartment residences. Rental demand is sustained by local employment centers, highway connectivity, and competitive cost-of-living advantages.

Transit connectivity, arterial road networks, and regional employment hubs drive tenant mobility throughout Barrie. Properties close to central retail corridors and transit hubs consistently maintain superior occupancy and shorter listing cycles.

Month Over Month Trends

Barrie's latest 30-day transaction window recorded 4 leases at an average rent of $2,463 per month, compared to 5 leases in the prior 30-day period averaging $2,100 per month. The pre-calculated month-over-month data indicates a rent increase of $363 per month, or 17.29%. However, because both monthly observation windows rely on fewer than 5 leases (4 leases versus 5 leases), this upward movement reflects individual unit mix, unit size, and transaction composition rather than a structural surge in municipal rent levels.

Longer Term Trends

Barrie's historical dataset records 29 total leases with an all-time average realized rent of $2,209 per month ($2.40 per square foot) and an average Days on Market of 35 days. Mid-term tracking shows a rolling 90-day average lease price of $2,212 per month across 16 leases (31-day DOM) and a rolling 180-day average of $2,215 per month across 28 leases (35-day DOM). Overall rental dispersion spans from an entry-level floor of $1,600 per month to an upper ceiling of $2,700 per month, with a median rent of $2,224 per month. The middle 50 percent of the market clusters between $2,050 and $2,375 per month (an interquartile spread of $325), demonstrating stable core pricing across recorded apartment and condominium stock.

For Renters

Barrie renters navigate a market where historical transactions average $2,209 per month, while recent 30-day leases average $2,463 per month across a limited sample. Overall rent dispersion shows a floor of $1,600 per month and a ceiling of $2,700 per month, with the middle 50 percent of transactions clustering tightly between $2,050 and $2,375 per month (an interquartile range of $325). When evaluating unit sizes, moving from a 1-bedroom unit to a 2-bedroom unit involves a rent step-up of $356 per month (an 18.08% increase) alongside a 356-square-foot space increase, with realized square-foot rates moving from $2.75 to $2.21 per square foot. Prospective renters seeking active inventory can also review adjacent Newmarket, which recorded an effective average rent of $2,443 per month across 8 recorded leases.

For Landlords

Landlords pricing rental properties in Barrie should anchor strategies to closed transaction evidence rather than active asking prices alone. The current inventory features 15 active listings with an average asking rent of $2,572 per month ($2.90 per square foot), compared to a recent 30-day realized lease average of $2,463 per month ($2.26 per square foot), yielding an asking-versus-realized spread of $109 per month. With a latest 30-day Days on Market average of 24 days, mispriced units risk extended carrying costs. Because local transaction volume is limited, historical benchmarks and rolling 90-day averages ($2,212 per month across 16 leases) should be used as directional guardrails to maintain competitive positioning against active regional competition.

For Realtors

For real estate professionals structuring rental CMAs in Barrie, the municipal dataset provides 29 historical transactions and a 15-listing active inventory footprint. With latest 30-day leasing velocity averaging 24 days across 4 transactions, agents should leverage rolling 90-day ($2,212 per month) and 180-day ($2,215 per month) mid-term metrics to smooth out small-sample monthly volatility. Barrie's realized rent trails the GTA 30-day benchmark of $2,627 per month by $164 per month (6.24%), while sitting close to Newmarket's effective average rent of $2,443 per month. Utilizing $/sqft metrics—such as the municipal realized average of $2.26 per square foot—helps substantiate pricing recommendations when monthly volume fluctuates.

How much is a 2-bedroom apartment in Barrie?
Barrie's average realized lease price for a 2-bedroom apartment is $2,325 per month ($2.21 per square foot), based on FastScreen's historical transaction records of 6 recorded leases with an average unit size of 1,075 square feet. Active 2-bedroom listings average $2,563 per month ($2.33 per square foot) across 3 listings. By comparison, Newmarket's recorded 2-bedroom leases average $2,812 per month across 13 recorded leases.
How much is a 3-bedroom apartment in Barrie?
Barrie's average realized lease price for a 3-bedroom or larger apartment is $2,625 per month ($2.02 per square foot), based on FastScreen's historical transaction records of 2 recorded leases with an average unit size of 1,300 square feet. Active 3-bedroom listings average $3,186 per month ($4.39 per square foot) across 3 active listings. Because this category relies on a very small historical transaction sample, this figure serves as a limited data point rather than a definitive market-wide benchmark.
Which neighbourhoods in Barrie are the most affordable versus most premium?
FastScreen currently tracks Barrie as a single rental submarket (South Barrie) encompassing 9 buildings, meaning the available data does not support a neighbourhood-level affordability ranking. South Barrie records an all-time average lease price of $2,209 per month across 29 historical transactions.
What area codes in Barrie have the most expensive rental units? What area codes have the least?
Barrie's rental data spans postal FSAs L4N and L9J within its single tracked submarket. Because the current FastScreen dataset aggregates municipal performance across these postal codes without distinct submarket breakdowns, separate area-code pricing tiers cannot be ranked.
Which postal codes (FSAs) and neighbourhoods are covered in Barrie's rental data?

FastScreen tracks residential lease transactions across Barrie's primary postal code districts (FSAs):

  • South Barrie L4N, L9J: $2,463/month average leased rent
How fast do rental properties lease in Barrie?
Barrie rental properties lease in an average of 24 days, based on FastScreen's latest 30-day leasing velocity across 4 recorded transactions. This represents a 4-day slower leasing pace compared to the GTA 30-day average DOM of 20 days, and is 3 days faster than Newmarket's effective 27-day DOM benchmark. Over a rolling 180-day observation window, Barrie's historical DOM averages 35 days.
How much more will a unit with a parking spot in Barrie rent for versus a unit without one?
FastScreen cannot establish a reliable municipal parking premium for Barrie because the available transaction sample does not show a positive price uplift for parking stalls. In the 1-bedroom category where comparative data exists, units leased without parking recorded higher square-footage rents, indicating sample composition differences rather than a true parking discount.
How should Barrie landlords price their rental units to prevent vacancy?
Barrie landlords should anchor pricing strategies to closed lease transactions rather than active asking inventory alone. With active listings averaging $2,572 per month and recent 30-day realized leases averaging $2,463 per month, overpricing risks extending Days on Market beyond the 24-day 30-day average. Landlords should evaluate unit-specific bedroom benchmarks and maintain alignment with regional comparables to secure tenants efficiently.
Are parking spaces, lockers, and utilities included in Barrie rents?
Barrie's municipal rental dataset does not contain specific inclusion rates or tracking data for lockers, hydro, water, or utilities. Prospective tenants and landlords should review individual listing details to confirm whether utilities or storage lockers are bundled into the monthly rent.
