Public Data Aggregation & Thresholds

  • Public Data Aggregation: FastScreen aggregates residential rental listing and completed lease transaction records from publicly available sources.
  • Threshold Filtering: All listings are subject to a minimum monthly rental threshold of $1,000 to filter out standalone storage lockers, private parking spaces, and misclassified commercial entries from condominium statistics.

Calculation Formulations

  • Average Asking Rent: Weighted average of active asking prices across available suites in the reporting period.
  • Price Per Square Foot ($/SF): Calculated by dividing rent by square footage only for listings that provide unit dimensions (suites without stated square footage are excluded from $/SF calculations).
  • Days on Market (DOM): Measures elapsed calendar days between the date a suite is first listed and either the benchmark snapshot date (for active listings) or the finalized date leased.
  • Parking & Den Differentials: Average asking rent differences between suites with vs. without parking, and suites with vs. without a den.

Data Limitations & Scope

  • Exclusively Public Records: Statistics are derived exclusively from publicly available rental listings and completed lease records. Private direct-to-landlord arrangements, unadvertised tenant renewals, and off-market rental agreements are not captured.
  • Agreed Contract Amounts: Reported lease amounts reflect agreed contract rents and do not account for private move-in allowances or individual unit renovations that may influence pricing spreads.
