Ask before you view

The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:

  • Which way does it face?
  • Are pets allowed?
  • When is it available?

Roughly where it is

Approximate — listings rarely give an exact address, so treat this as the block, not the door.

How this compares

What we’d expect it to ask

$2,766 / month

8 times in ten the answer lands between $2,127 and $3,506. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.

Asking $2,350 is $416 below that — further below than the ±13.5% we can put down to our own error. On size and location alone, it asks less than its neighbours do.

Asks less than we’d expect

Moderate confidence20 three-bedrooms within 4 kmTypically within 12.3%

What moves that number

1080 ft², smaller than most three-bedrooms nearby (typically 1425 ft²)−$369
3.2 km from the nearest SkyTrain (Richmond-Brighouse)−$143
This block asks less than the rest of the area−$72

Each line is the difference this one thing makes, holding everything else where it is. They do not add up to the rent.

Scored from the map pin alone — rapid transit, town centres and parks, in straight lines. It knows nothing about the street, the hill, the building or the neighbours, and buses and the SeaBus are not in it, so places served by those score lower here than they deserve.

Against the ones next to it

$2,350 is $850 below the middle of the 86 3-bedrooms we are tracking in Richmond right now ($3,200). Most of them ask between $2,900 and $3,600.

A straight count of asking prices in the area, with nothing adjusted for — unlike the estimate above, it does not care that this one is bigger or closer to a station.

What the estimate cannot see

Floor, view, condition, noise and everything inside the walls are missing from all but a handful of the advertisements we index, so none of them are priced in above. Two identical floor plans, one renovated and one not, get the same estimate from us.

This one is unusually forthcoming. It does state:

ApartmentLaundry: in buildingParking: comes with the unit

Worth reading — but too rare across the feed for us to put a number on.

The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:

  • Which way does it face?
  • Are pets allowed?
  • When is it available?

Estimated from the listings on this site, not a market survey, and from asking rents — what a home is advertised at, not what it lets for.
