The cleanest single read on who holds the leverage is the leases-to-new-listings ratio: leases divided by new rental listings over the same period. Under 40% favours tenants and over 60% favours landlords, the same rule the sales report uses. We show it three ways, because one month can swing: the latest month, the last three months and the last twelve.
Balance Meter
The needle shows the latest month, which can swing. The three- and 12-month reads are steadier. Since 2010 the 12-month share has never been under 30%; its median is 57%.
Seven signals, Jul to Sep 2026 against the same months a year earlier.
Hotter means tighter for tenants; cooler means more room. A signal moves only when it changes by a set amount: 5% for leases and listings, 2% for rent, 3 points for the leases-to-listings ratio, 1 point for rent against asking, 0.3 months for inventory.
Leases equalled 54% of new rental listings over the last 12 months, against 55% a year earlier. The median since 2010 is 57%.
2.71 months on the three-month measure, against 2.84 a year earlier. How long today's rental listings would last at the current pace of leasing.

Why Rent in Georgina, Ontario?
Lake Simcoe Lifestyle
Georgina sits along the southern shore of Lake Simcoe, offering waterfront access, beaches, and outdoor recreation that most York Region municipalities can't match — a major draw for lifestyle-oriented renters.
Space & Affordability
Detached homes leased for an average of $2,685 a month over the last 12 months, and a 3-bedroom averaged $2,755, against $3,241 in Markham, $3,311 in Richmond Hill and $3,546 in Vaughan. Families and remote workers prioritizing space find Georgina compelling.
Highway 404 Access
Highway 404 provides a direct commute corridor to the GTA, connecting Keswick to the 400-series highway network. For remote or hybrid workers, Georgina's drive to Toronto remains manageable while offering a dramatically different lifestyle.
Community Character
Georgina's communities — Keswick, Sutton, Pefferlaw, Baldwin — retain a small-town character with local shops, marinas, and conservation areas that appeal to renters relocating from denser GTA markets.

Coverage
Leases recorded through the MLS® for Georgina, Ontario. Source: HabiStat MLS® statistics, all associations, monthly from January 2010 to September 2026. Leases arranged privately or directly by purpose-built rental buildings are not included. The current partial month is reported separately and left out of every calculation.
Key Definitions
Leases-to-new-listings ratio: leases signed in the period divided by new rental listings in the same period, two separate totals. It measures pressure, not the fate of any one listing: a 60% reading does not mean 60% of that month's listings leased, and it is not a vacancy rate. Months of inventory: how long active rental listings would last at the current pace of leasing; the three-month measure uses the trailing three months of leases. 12-month average rent: total lease value divided by leases signed over the trailing 12 months. Rent vs asking: the rent agreed as a percentage of the listed rent. Distance from peak: the 12-month average rent against its highest level to that point.
How the Reads Are Made
Market phase compares the latest three months with the same three months a year earlier and tags each signal hotter, cooler or steady by a fixed threshold. The balance meter treats a leases-to-new-listings ratio under 40% as a tenant's market and over 60% as a landlord's market. These are rules applied to the data, not forecasts.
Limitations
Figures by bedroom count or property type rest on smaller samples and can move with the mix of units leased, which is why they are shown over 12 months. Average rent for all homes moves with the mix of unit sizes leased. All data is subject to revision.
