Is My Rent Fair?

How the estimate is calculated

1. 1. Every listing is scored for similarity. Neighbourhood and bedroom count carry the most weight, followed by square footage, bathrooms and features.
2. 2. The closest comparables are kept. Shared and roommate listings are only ever compared against other shared listings.
3. 3. Outliers are removed. Statistical outliers are dropped so a few unusual listings can't distort the result.
4. 4. The median becomes the estimate. The 25th–75th percentile of those comparables becomes the typical market range, and your rent is placed against it.

How comparable apartments are selected

• Neighbourhood — the largest single driver of rent. Comparisons stay within the neighbourhood you enter.
• Bedroom count — studios, one, two and three bedrooms and shared rooms are treated as distinct markets.
• Square footage — closer sizes score higher; listings without an advertised size use a size typical for that bedroom count.
• Features — parking, in-suite laundry, balcony, building amenities and whether utilities are included.

Rent Reveal does not claim a feature "adds" a fixed dollar amount. Where the data supports it, the guides report the observed difference between listings with and without a feature — see the Vancouver rent guides.

Data and limitations

• 427 Vancouver-area listings across 17 neighbourhoods, collected up to August 2026.
• These are advertised asking rents, not signed leases or government survey data.
• Condition, view, floor level, renovations and building age are not captured, and they move real rents.
• Categories with fewer than five comparable listings are not published as pages, and low-sample results should be treated as indicative only.
• Results are informational estimates of market conditions — not financial, legal or tenancy advice.
