According to Glen Trevisani, Market Analyst with CMHC, "The proportion of condominium units which are in the rental market or developer owned and for sale, reflects the extremely oversupplied condition of the condominiums market in the Kitchener CMA." In the Kitchener CMA, 26 per cent of apartment condominiums and six per cent of row condominiums were owned by developers in November 1993. "When the supply of condominiums outpaces demand, developers are forced to maintain ownership and rent the units which were originally intended for Kâ€"W condo market Greg R.

A student at St. David Catholic secondary school, Stager plans to attend the University of Waterloo. He is the son of Ross and Marg Stager, who own and operate T.0.C. Courier. He now becomes eligible for a $4,000 award to be presented to the outstanding regional winner from North America. Of the 1,552 developerâ€"owned units, 1,375 were in the rental market. Apartment condominiums in the rental market recorded the highest vacancy rate among the condoâ€" "The low vacancy rate for row condominiums sugâ€" gests that the oversupplied row rental market, which had a vacancy rate of 4.6 per cent in October 1993, may be partially due to households shifting upscale into condominium units." When rental row condominiums are taken into account, the row rental market vacancy rate becomes a more modest 3.4 per cent.
