A vacancy rate of 2.4% means a tight market, so good units go quickly. Rents for existing two-bedroom units rose 6.1% over the year. A rental condo is pricier than a purpose-built apartment: the average two-bedroom condo rents for $1,377, about 8% more than the $1,277 average for all two-bedroom apartments.

Sources and notes
- Source: CMHC Rental Market Survey, privately initiated apartment buildings of three or more units. Figures cover the whole metro area, not individual neighbourhoods: expect less in older buildings farther out and more in new towers near transit or downtown. Houses, basement suites and rooms are not in the survey, and asking rents on listing sites can be higher than these averages. ↩
- Climate: Environment and Climate Change Canada 1991–2020 normals at the city's international airport (sunshine 1981–2010 for some cities; Winnipeg, Victoria and Saskatoon use 1981–2010 normals for everything). Greater Vancouver shares Vancouver International Airport in Richmond. ↩
