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?

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.

TransitExpo, Millennium and Canada Lines; most of the city is inside a 30-minute commute to downtown.

How this compares

What we’d expect it to ask

$8,281 / month

8 times in ten the answer lands between $6,132 and $10,881. 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 9.4% below it — inside the ±14.9% this model cannot tell apart, so it is priced about where we’d expect.

Low confidence20 five-plus-bedrooms within 4 kmTypically within 14.6%

Nearby 6-bedrooms disagree with each other by about 49% from quartile to quartile, so the estimate is only as sharp as they are.

What moves that number

4939 ft², larger than most five-plus-bedrooms nearby (typically 3754 ft²)+$984
743 m from Langara-49th Avenue Station+$287
This block asks less than the rest of the area−$285

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 $198 below the middle of the 20 6-bedrooms we are tracking in Vancouver right now ($7,698). Most of them ask between $4,550 and $13,500.

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:

  • What floor is it on?
  • 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.
