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 nudge. The market here is moving - not dramatically, but enough that the number on your city assessment is almost certainly out of date. Here's the real picture.

The Vibe: What's Happening on Our Streets

Let's break it down by property type, because houses and condos are telling two 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. Houses are selling, but sellers are giving ground. The one house that sold recently went for $945,000 - which sounds strong, but it closed at about 94.6% of the asking price. That means the buyer saved roughly $54,000 off the list price. In plain terms, we're in a buyers' market for houses right now.

• Average HonestDoor Price (Houses): $793,545
• Recent average 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: $799,451
• Rental yield: 5.12% - that's a strong return if you're thinking landlord
• Estimated monthly rent: $3,577

The 34-day average sit time is worth noting. That's not a fire-sale market. Homes here are taking their time to find the right buyer. The growth rank for houses sits at 93 out of 102 Ottawa neighbourhoods - that puts us near the bottom of the leaderboard right now. Values have dipped about 2.25% recently. Not a cliff, but not a climb either.

Condos - The Quiet Outperformer

Here's the part that might surprise you. While houses are taking a breather, condos in our neighbourhood are actually gaining ground. The average HonestDoor Price for condos is up 1.05% to $315,062, and the predicted value of $311,801 is climbing above the 3-month average of $304,444. That's a real, measurable move upward.

• Average HonestDoor Price (Condos): $315,062 - up 1.05%
• Predicted market value: $311,801
• 3-month moving average: $304,444 - trending up
• Recent value change: +4.37%
• Growth rank: 34 out of 104 Ottawa neighbourhoods - above average
• Estimated monthly rent: $1,664
• Rental yield: 4.17%

A growth rank of 34 out of 104 puts our condos solidly in the top third of Ottawa. Compare that to nearby Skyline - Fisher Heights at $289,404 and Carleton Heights - Rideauview at $280,555 - our condos are outpricing both of those neighbours right now. If you own a condo here, that's a good position to be in.

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. Ottawa's property assessments can lag reality by a year or more. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual sales data, current listing activity, and market trends. It's the difference between checking yesterday's weather and looking out the window right now.

For houses, the HonestDoor Price is sitting at $793,545 - and it's already factoring in that recent 2.25% dip. Your city assessment almost certainly doesn't reflect that. For condo owners, the HonestDoor Price of $315,062 is tracking a genuine upswing that a static government number would completely miss. Either way, the HonestDoor Price is your real-world check - not a lagging government estimate.

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

Straight talk: if you own a house here and you're thinking about listing this summer, you need to price it sharp. Buyers in this market are informed and they're negotiating. The 94.6% sale-to-list ratio tells you that overpricing will cost you time - 34 days on average - and money. Come in at a realistic number and you'll move faster.

If you own a condo, the timing is actually looking decent. Values are climbing, you're outperforming nearby neighbourhoods, and your growth rank puts you ahead of most of Ottawa's condo market. That's a reasonable window to act.

For anyone on the fence, the rental numbers are worth a second look. A 5.12% rental yield on a house or 4.17% on a condo isn't bad in this rate environment. Holding and renting is a legitimate option if the sale price doesn't excite you right now.

Bottom line - check your HonestDoor Price before you make any move. It's the most current number you've got, and in a market like this one, current is everything.
