What can I rent my Calgary property for?
Get a written rental market analysis for your condo, house, townhouse or legal suite. See the evidence behind a starting rent and when to review it.
Start with recent comparable homes of the same type and bedroom count. Compare location, condition, parking, utilities and lease terms. A Calgary rental market analysis from Mohammad Emon at KO Realty shows the comparable evidence, a suggested asking rent when the evidence supports one, and a plan to review it after launch.

Tell me the community, property type, bedrooms and when the home will be available. Parking, utilities, condition and lease terms can change which homes make good comparisons.

Sample rental market analysis
Fictional example. The subject and all figures below are illustrative. They are not current Calgary rents or client results.
Subject: Calgary two-bedroom, two-bath condo with one parking stall and heat and water included.
Suggested starting rent: $2,100 per month. The sample asking rents range from $2,050 to $2,175, with a median of $2,100.
| Comparable | Monthly ask | Difference from subject |
|---|---|---|
| Condo A | $2,050 | No parking included |
| Condo B | $2,100 | Similar parking and utilities |
| Condo C | $2,175 | Recently renovated kitchen |
Evidence: Three fictional advertised prices illustrate the asking-rent method. A real report dates and sources each comparable and distinguishes asking rents from signed leases.
Vacancy trade-off: At $2,100 per month, one empty month costs $2,100 in gross rent, equivalent to $175 per month spread over 12 months.
First review: After seven days, review qualified enquiries, completed showings, applications and competing listings before deciding whether to adjust price or presentation.
How I choose comparable rentals
I start with the same building or community and look for similar homes. When I have at least three recent comparable signed leases I can verify and share, I use those first. Recent advertised rents can support a starting ask when signed evidence is limited. If the sample is too small, I explain what we still need to check before setting a price.
The Calgary rental market guide gives wider context from CMHC. An owner’s analysis narrows that down to the homes a renter would compare with yours.
If you already know the achievable rent and are weighing a renewal, try the rent gap calculator. If you need someone to market the home and arrange showings, see Calgary tenant placement.

Questions
What should I send to request an analysis?
Share the community or property location, home type, bedroom count and availability. Note any included parking or utilities and tell me whether the home is vacant or coming up for renewal.
Will the report give me an exact rent?
When comparable evidence supports it, I suggest a starting asking rent and show the observed range. Condition, timing, incentives and competition can change what a tenant will agree to pay.
