Rent is today's market rent for a 3+ bedroom in Richmond: CMHC's average there ($2,500) raised by what new tenants pay against everyone in the Vancouver area, then down 3.5% with Vancouver's asking rents, 2025 Q4 → 2026 Q2. (CMHC Rental Market Survey, October 2025; CMHC Rental Market Report 2025, table 6.0 (rents on units that turned over to a new tenant); trend: Statistics Canada.) Houses usually rent for more than apartments. 25-year mortgage; rental purchases need at least 20% down.
