I built a 10-second "am I overpaying on rent?" check for Canada

Wait 5 sec.

Rent in Canada is a guessing game. Listings tell you what landlords want, CMHC tells you what everyone pays including people who've been in the same place since 2009, and neither tells you if your rent is fair. So I made amioverpaying.fyi. You pick your neighbourhood, unit size and the year you moved in, enter your rent, and it compares you with the right benchmark: recent asking rents if you moved in lately, CMHC averages if you've been there longer. You get a shareable card with your result. It also does mortgages, comparing your rate with today's best published rates. It's anonymous, with no signup. It's give-to-get, so your entry makes the comparison better for the next person. It covers 40 cities and 300+ neighbourhoods right now. I'd love feedback on two things: does the result feel fair, and would you actually share the card? https://amioverpaying.fyi   submitted by   /u/rahu_ [link]   [comments]
