3 Bedroom House for Rent in Vancouver
$2,950 / month
A 1,100 ft² three-bedroom house in Vancouver, asking $2,950 a month. The listing mentions in-suite laundry, garden level and SkyTrain nearby. One thing the listing does not answer: which way does it face?
At $2,950 for 1,100 square feet, the asking rent works out to $2.68 per square foot.
That is $450 below the middle of the 171 comparable rentals we are tracking in Vancouver, where most ask between $2,784 and $4,340.

Roughly where it is
Approximate — listings rarely give an exact address, so treat this as the block, not the door.
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
$3,281 / month
8 times in ten the answer lands between $2,523 and $4,159. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.
Asking $2,950 is 10.1% below it — inside the ±13.5% this model cannot tell apart, so it is priced about where we’d expect.
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.
Location
6 min on foot to King Edward (Canada Line), about 20 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
$2,950 is $450 below the middle of the 171 3-bedrooms we are tracking in Vancouver right now ($3,400). Most of them ask between $2,784 and $4,340.
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:
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?
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.
