Borden Farm - Stewart Farm - Parkwood Hills - Fisher Glen: Here's What Your Home Is Actually Worth Right Now

If you live in Borden Farm, Stewart Farm, Parkwood Hills, or Fisher Glen and you haven't checked your HonestDoor Price lately, this is your sign. The market here is moving - not dramatically, but enough that your city assessment is almost certainly telling you the wrong number.

The Vibe: What's Happening on Our Streets

Let's split this into two conversations, because houses and condos are telling very different stories right now.

Houses - Steady, But Buyers Have the Edge

If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs around here, here's what's actually happening. The average HonestDoor Price for a house sits at $801,267, up a modest 0.96% from last period. That's not a surge - it's a slow, steady hold.

The one house that sold recently went for $945,000, but it was listed at $999,000. That means the buyer paid about 94.6% of the asking price - roughly $54,000 under list. That's real money left on the table by the seller. It sat on the market for 34 days before it moved. This is a buyers' market, plain and simple.

• Average HonestDoor Price (Houses): $801,267
• Recent sale price: $945,000
• Current average list price: $999,000
• Sale-to-list ratio: 94.59% - buyers are paying below ask
• Average days on market: 34 days
• Price per square foot: $430
• Predicted market value: $793,645
• 3-month moving average: $803,719 - values are dipping slightly
• Rental estimate: $3,583 per month
• Rental yield: 5.13% - that's a strong return if you're thinking landlord
• Growth rank: 43 out of 100 neighbourhoods - above average in Ottawa

The predicted value of $793,645 is sitting below the 3-month average of $803,719. That's a small but real downward nudge of -0.74%. Nothing to panic about, but worth knowing before you price your home.

Condos - A Quiet Comeback Worth Watching

The condo story here is actually more interesting. Yes, the average HonestDoor Price dropped 4.26% to $301,639 - that's the headline. But look closer and you'll see the predicted market value is $315,062, which is climbing above the 3-month moving average of $308,533. Values are up 1.05% recently. The market is taking a breather overall, but condos here are quietly ticking upward.

• Average HonestDoor Price (Condos): $301,639
• Predicted market value: $315,062
• 3-month moving average: $308,533 - trending up
• Recent value change: +1.05%
• Rental estimate: $1,609 per month
• Rental yield: 4.17% - moderate but solid
• Airbnb rank in Ottawa: 96th
• Growth rank: 54 out of 104 neighbourhoods - just below average

Compared to neighbours like Skyline - Fisher Heights ($270,278) and Carleton Heights - Rideauview ($269,267), our condos are priced higher. If you own one here, you're sitting above the local average - and the trend is moving in the right direction.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment

Here's the thing about your city assessment - it's a snapshot from the past. It doesn't know what sold on your street last month. It doesn't know that buyers are currently paying below list, or that the predicted value for houses here has shifted to $793,645. It's a static number doing a real-time job, and it's almost always wrong by the time you read it.

The HonestDoor Price is updated continuously using actual sales data, market trends, and real comparable properties. For houses in this neighbourhood, there's already a gap between the HonestDoor Price ($801,267) and the predicted model value ($793,645). That kind of spread matters when you're deciding whether to list, refinance, or just figure out where you stand.

Think of the HonestDoor Price as the real-world check - the number a knowledgeable neighbour would give you over the fence, not the number a government office calculated two years ago.

The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

If you're a house owner here and you're thinking about listing this summer, the data is giving you a clear message: price it right from day one. The one house that sold recently sat for 34 days and closed at nearly $54,000 under asking. Overpricing right now will cost you time and money. Buyers in this market are patient and they know the numbers.

The neighbourhood growth rank of 43 out of 100 puts us in above-average territory for Ottawa - that's a real selling point. Use it. But pair it with a realistic price anchored to the HonestDoor Price, not wishful thinking.

If you own a condo and you've been on the fence, the momentum is quietly shifting your way. Values are creeping up, and at $315,062 predicted value you're already ahead of the two closest comparable neighbourhoods. A summer listing could catch that wave before it flattens.

Bottom line - check your HonestDoor Price today. Not next month. The market is moving, and the number on your assessment notice is not keeping up.
