  • Which way does it face?
  • Is parking included or extra?
  • When is it available?

How this compares

What we’d expect it to ask

$2,508 / month

8 times in ten the answer lands between $1,937 and $3,194. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.

Asking $2,800 is 11.6% above it — inside the ±11.6% this model cannot tell apart, so it is priced about where we’d expect.

Low confidence16 three-bedrooms within 4 kmTypically within 12.2%

Nearby 3-bedrooms disagree with each other by about 32% from quartile to quartile, so the estimate is only as sharp as they are.

What moves that number

947 ft², smaller than most three-bedrooms nearby (typically 1300 ft²)−$390
This block asks less than the rest of the area−$170
5.2 km from the nearest SkyTrain (Lafarge Lake-Douglas)−$109

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

$2,800 is $165 below the middle of the 84 3-bedrooms we are tracking in Coquitlam right now ($2,965). Most of them ask between $2,569 and $3,392.

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

Laundry, parking, air conditioning, the bathroom count and whether the home sits below ground are priced in wherever the advertisement states them. The floor, the view, the light, the condition and the noise are not, and nothing we hold measures them: two identical floor plans, one renovated and one not, get the same estimate from us.

Where an advertisement says nothing, we price it as unsaid rather than as absent. A short ad is not a worse home, and scoring it as one would price the landlord’s writing instead of the flat.

The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:

  • Which way does it face?
  • Is parking included or extra?
  • 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.
