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.

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

$2,900 is exactly the middle of the 100 two-bedrooms we are tracking in Metrotown right now ($2,900). Most of them ask between $2,500 and $3,100.

A straight count of asking prices in the area, with nothing adjusted for, it does not care that this one may be bigger, smaller or better placed than the rest.

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.

Counted 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.
