Edmonton · Rental-language census

That is 4.6% of detached closes over the 17 months to October 2026. Not one published a verified rent, a lease, or an operating statement — and neither will we.

What we withhold

We will not estimate your rent, and you should distrust anyone who does.

There is no verified rent, lease, or occupancy data at listing level in this market — the occupancy field is empty on every row we hold. A cap rate built on a guessed rent is a guess wearing a decimal point. Listings that advertise rental income did close about $25,000 above those that did not, but that comparison is not peer-matched and we will not present advertising language as an income premium.

The $545,000 vs $520,000 raw medians are unmatched census figures across different areas, sizes, and ages. A matched arm was attempted and produced 138 pairs — below our 150 floor — and would in any case measure the effect of language, not income.

What this means for your search

Rental language is a lead, not evidence. The things that determine whether the income is real are all off-listing: an actual lease, separate metering, permit status for the second unit, and whether the tenant is staying. Verify those four before the number in the remarks means anything.

What Keylo does

What Keylo does

We surface physical evidence a listing cannot fake.

Second kitchen, separate entrance — from the photos, and we estimate the property without reading the asking price.

What we will not do is invent a rent to make a spreadsheet look decisive.

How these homes were selected

  • Active MLS listings in 367 curated neighbourhoods (including Windermere, Summerside, Oliver).
  • Structured MLS/Bridge fields used when present.
  • Public remarks reviewed when structured data is incomplete.

MLS area names are proxies; remarks may be incomplete; we do not verify walking distance, travel time, or exact proximity.
