The details
Highlights
Ask before you view
The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:
- Which way does it face?
- Is parking included or extra?
- 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.
Renting in Coquitlam
Coquitlam Centre and Burquitlam filled up with towers after the Evergreen Line opened, and rents there are still well below Burnaby for a comparable building.
How this compares
What we’d expect it to ask
$2,103 / month
8 times in ten the answer lands between $1,565 and $2,799. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.
Asking $2,900 is $797 above that — further above than the ±11.8% we can put down to our own error. Something about it may justify that; the ad may also simply be ambitious.
Nearby two-bedrooms disagree with each other by about 27% from quartile to quartile, so the estimate is only as sharp as they are.
What moves that number
Nothing about this home pulls the estimate far from what its neighbours ask.
The advertisement does not state a floor area, so size is not priced in.
Each line is the difference this one thing makes, holding everything else where it is. They do not add up to the rent.
Location
18 min on foot to Lafarge Lake-Douglas (Millennium Line), about 70 min to Waterfront.
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
$2,900 is $575 above the middle of the 286 two-bedrooms we are tracking in Coquitlam right now ($2,325). Most of them ask between $1,888 and $2,650.
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 ad does not give a floor area either, so size is not in it.
The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:
- Which way does it face?
- Is parking included or extra?
- 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.
