How this compares

What we’d expect it to ask

$1,958 / month

8 times in ten the answer lands between $1,591 and $2,353. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen, not a margin we chose.

Asking $2,300 is $342 above that, further above than the ±9.9% 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

$2,300 is $450 above the middle of the 235 one-bedrooms we are tracking in Burnaby right now ($1,850). Most of them ask between $1,600 and $2,150.

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?
  • Are pets allowed?

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.
