The details
Highlights
Ask before you view
The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:
- What floor is it on?
- 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 Burnaby
Burnaby is where most of Metro Vancouver's new towers actually got built. If you want a recent building with air conditioning and in-suite laundry, there is far more of it here than in Vancouver proper, and usually for less money.
How this compares
What we’d expect it to ask
$5,909 / month
8 times in ten the answer lands between $4,361 and $7,731. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.
Asking $4,990 is $919 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
Nearby 4-bedrooms disagree with each other by about 39% 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.
Location
No SkyTrain station within walking distance, about 56 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
$4,990 is $1,290 above the middle of the 25 4-bedrooms we are tracking in Burnaby right now ($3,700). Most of them ask between $3,200 and $4,400.
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.
The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:

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.
