The Best Sites to Search for Commercial Real Estate in Canada

The best sites to search for commercial real estate
 With so many sources of information available on the web, searching for any type of real estate can be an overwhelming process. Searching for commercial real estate can prove particularly challenging, as residential property listings tend to dominate the overall real estate listing spectrum. Knowing where to look for the best sources of commercial real estate information is sometimes half the battle; therefore, our team has compiled the following list of top commercial property listing sites (in no particular order) to help focus your search for the best commercial real estate opportunities in Canada.

  • REALTOR.ca/Commercial  (formerly MLS.ca and ICX.ca)
Owned and operated by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), REALTOR.ca is a site through which the public can browse properties, both residential and commercial, in the Multiple Listings Service (MLS®) system. The MLS® provides a database for licensed REALTORS® who are members of CREA and a local real estate board to share information about their clients’ properties with other REALTORS®. Not all listing information in the MLS® database is accessible to the public, however, so it is ideal to have a Commercial REALTOR® assist with finding property information.

  • SpaceList.ca
SpaceList is Canada’s largest online listing database exclusive to commercial real estate, enabling REALTORS® and landlords to post office, land, retail, industrial, multifamily and even coworking property listings at no charge. Potential tenants and investors can search all of the listings on SpaceList for free, using search parameters such as location, price, size, lease type and building class. A Vancouver-based tech company established in 2012, SpaceList now boasts over 20,000 commercial real estate listings for sale and lease across Canada (Duggan, 2014).

  • LoopNet.com
US-based LoopNet claims to be the “most heavily trafficked commercial real estate website, with over 5 million average monthly unique visitors” (LoopNet.com). The site provides listing information, primarily user-created, on commercial and industrial properties for sale and lease in both the US and Canada. Some, but not all, active listings on LoopNet are available to property searchers without “Premium Searcher Access,” which starts at $244.95/month.

LoopNet has a mobile app that property searchers in the US can use to locate commercial listings in their immediate area or nationally, but it is not available to mobile users in Canada. However, LoopNet also powers mobile apps specific to certain commercial real estate brokerages, such as RE/MAX Commercial, with which Canadian mobile users can search for commercial properties listed by the brokerage.

  • CLSLink.ca
CLSLink.ca is British Columbia’s Commercial Real Estate MLS® listings site, containing commercial listing information from the MLS system on commercial properties, commercial REALTORS®, and real estate boards throughout BC. The main advantage of using this site to search the MLS system is that it provides a bit more extensive information on the commercial real estate industry specific to areas within the province of BC. For equivalent sites in other provinces, check with your local real estate board.

  • Craigslist.org
As one of the highest traffic websites for buying and selling real estate in the world, Craigslist should be a stop on your search for commercial real estate. The site is more focused on residential listings (the section for office/commercial listings is under the “housing” category) but does provide a free source of commercial property listing information. As information can be posted anonymously, err on the side of caution by ensuring the advertiser is legally entitled to represent the property before pursuing it.
 
Consulting a Commercial REALTOR® on any commercial real estate properties listed online is the best way to ensure that a potential property aligns with your business and investment goals.

"Why short-term rentals?
The short-term rental industry is growing, and demand is increasing. Those facts are undeniable. Some naysayers may point out some factors on the contrary, but like every business, there are always ups and downs. So, if people want to just dwell on the negative no business will grow.
