215 of 823 suite-advertised homes reported an unfinished basement

Edmonton detached closes with suite language and a basement finish field — census shares, not peer-matched.

Finished basement608 (73.9%)

Unfinished basement215 (26.1%)

census share

Edmonton detached closes with a verified ClosePrice whose remarks carry suite language and whose MLS basement field reports a finish state (n=823). Census shares of that cohort.

Neither the remark language nor the MLS basement field certifies that a suite is legal, permitted, or currently rentable. A finished basement is not a suite, and a suite in the remarks is not a registered secondary suite.

Your search

What this means for your search

The word "suite" is doing two jobs in this market — describing what exists and describing what could exist. Roughly a quarter of the time you are buying the second one, which means a build cost and a permit process, not a move-in-ready second unit. Confirm before you price the deal.

What Keylo does

Our photo analysis looks for the physical tells.

A second kitchen, a separate entrance — so you can see whether the listing's "suite" language is backed by anything visible before you book a showing. See also the house-hacking page for the measured suite premium finding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Keylo confirm a basement suite is legal?

No. We match MLS language and photo cues only. You must verify legal status, permits, and insurance with your realtor and the municipality.

Will I see rent or cash-flow numbers here?

No. This page publishes census basement-finish shares only — not rent or income projections.

How is this different from house-hacking homes?

This spoke focuses on finished vs unfinished basement inventory among suite-advertised closes. House hacking covers the peer-matched basement finish premium.
