Ask before you view

The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:

  • 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.

How this compares

What we’d expect it to ask

$1,671 / month

8 times in ten the answer lands between $1,359 and $2,010. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen, not a margin we chose.

Asking $1,800 is 7.7% above it, inside the ±10% this model cannot tell apart, so it is priced about where we’d expect.

What moves that number

600 ft², smaller than most two-bedrooms nearby (typically 800 ft²)−$232
Basement or ground-level suite−$192
This block asks less than the rest of the area−$134

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

$1,800 is $500 below the middle of the 306 two-bedrooms we are tracking in Coquitlam right now ($2,300). Most of them ask between $1,900 and $2,650.

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?
  • 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.
