Rent starts at CMHC's average for a 3+ bedroom in Richmond (CMHC Rental Market Survey, October 2025). Averages include long-time tenants, so new leases usually ask more; houses usually rent for more than apartments. 25-year mortgage; rental purchases need at least 20% down.

Good to know

Wildfire
The BC Wildfire Service rates Vancouver's wildland urban interface as risk class 5 of 5 (lowest; 1 is the highest). One wildfire of 10 hectares or more burned within 5 km since 2006: 2018 (13 ha). Some insurers price for wildfire, and FireSmart BC has a free home assessment guide.
