What this means
Supply drivers
A steady stream of new purpose-built rental completions in Burnaby and Coquitlam is helping to moderate price growth in those areas, though overall supply remains constrained across the region. Provincial incentives for building rental housing continue to support new project applications.
For renters
Renters seeking affordability should focus their search on municipalities south of the Fraser River, such as Surrey and Langley, where 1-bedroom prices are over $300 lower than the regional average. In core markets, be prepared for competition and have documents ready to apply quickly.
For landlords
Demand for two and three-bedroom units remains exceptionally high, commanding premium rents and experiencing minimal vacancy. While month-over-month price growth is slowing, year-over-year returns remain strong. Ensuring units are well-maintained and competitively priced is key to attracting top-quality tenants with minimal downtime.
Methodology
Every figure in this report is calculated from RentMe's own database of active, verified rental listings collected across Metro Vancouver municipalities during June 2026. Medians are computed per city and unit type from the full listing set. Month-over-month changes compare the current snapshot to the prior published RentMe report for the same city. We do not use third-party survey data — only listings we have crawled, deduplicated, and verified on our platform.
