3 Bedroom Apartment for Rent in Vancouver

$7,500 / month

A 1,910 ft² three-bedroom apartment in Vancouver, asking $7,500 a month. The listing mentions ground floor, in-suite laundry and parking included. One thing the listing does not answer: when is it available?

At $7,500 for 1,910 square feet, the asking rent works out to $3.93 per square foot.

That is $4,200 above the middle of the 171 comparable rentals we are tracking in Vancouver, where most ask between $2,784 and $4,250.

Renting in Vancouver

Vancouver is the tightest rental market in Canada, and the good units are gone within a day or two of being posted. Refreshing listings by hand is how most people lose the apartment they wanted.

How this compares

What we’d expect it to ask

$5,982 / month

8 times in ten the answer lands between $4,450 and $7,960. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.

Asking $7,500 is $1,518 above that — further above than the ±13.5% we can put down to our own error. Something about it may justify that; the ad may also simply be ambitious.

Low confidence20 three-bedrooms within 2 kmTypically within 14.3%

Nearby 3-bedrooms disagree with each other by about 65% from quartile to quartile, so the estimate is only as sharp as they are.

What moves that number

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

$7,500 is $4,200 above the middle of the 171 3-bedrooms we are tracking in Vancouver right now ($3,300). Most of them ask between $2,784 and $4,250.

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:

Floor 0ApartmentLaundry: in-suiteParking: comes with the unitAir conditioning

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

The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:

  • 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.
