Ask before you view

The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:

  • What floor is it on?
  • 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.

Renting in East Vancouver

East Van is the most affordable part of the city proper, and the most house-suite-dependent. A large share of what rents here is a basement or upper floor of someone's home rather than an apartment building.

TransitExpo and Millennium Lines along the southern and eastern edges; heavy bus coverage on Commercial, Hastings and Kingsway.

How this compares

What we’d expect it to ask

$2,356 / month

8 times in ten the answer lands between $1,812 and $2,987. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.

Asking $4,631 is $2,275 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.

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

$4,631 is $2,331 above the middle of the 378 two-bedrooms we are tracking in East Vancouver right now ($2,300). Most of them ask between $1,950 and $2,700.

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-suiteParking: comes with the unitOutdoor space

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

The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:

  • What floor is it on?
  • 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.
