Rental Potential in

Abbotsford

Investor types need to make sure the numbers on the property make sense in order to properly assess the risk-to-reward. While these numbers are rough estimates, they do provide a starting point for real estate investors to gather information and begin the due diligence process.

Before you take the first step in acquiring a real estate investment it is best that you understand the most common costs associated with acquiring and maintaining a rental property.

  • Property Transfer Tax – This is a provincial tax on the transfer of ownership between the seller and buyer. In general, it is 1% – 3% of the fair market value.
  • Lawyer Fees – These fees vary depending on the firm’s rates and whether you will be financing or paying cash for the property. That being said, in general, the cost is approximately $1,000 – $2,000.
  • Property Taxes – All real estate in BC is impacted by property taxes in one way of another. In Abbotsford, you can expect to pay around 0.504% of the BC assessment value each year.
  • Strata Fees – If you’re purchasing a property that has a strata corporation, then you can expect to pay a monthly fee to the strata. Most, if not all, apartments, townhomes, and condos have a monthly strata fee. This can range from $200 – $500+ per month.
  • Repairs & Maintenance – Most savvy investors budget 1 – 2 % of the fair market value of the property for repairs and maintenance.
  • Property Management – Who will manage the screening of tenants? What about collect the rents and abide by the BC Tenants Act? Property management companies can manage all of the day-to-day operations for anywhere from a 6 – 10% commission.
While the cost of real estate has been steadily rising in Abbotsford for the last several decades, so has the average rents.

According to CMHC, the average rent in Abbotsford has been rising every year. From 2014 to 2019 rents have risen from $768 to $1,045 per month.

Vacancy rates in Abbotsford remained at the lowest levels seen in the last 20+ years. With an average vacancy rate of 0.68% over the last five years.

It is worth mentioning that monthly rents in Abbotsford can vary greatly depending on the neighbourhood, quality of finishings, and the size of the property. A property on Eagle Mountain may demand double the monthly rents compared to a house in Central Abbotsford and vice versa.

1 Bedroom – $1,100 – $1,300 per month

2 Bedroom – $1,500 – $1,800 per month

3 Bedroom – $2,300 – $2,700 per month
