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 - and not always in the direction your last tax assessment would suggest.
Let's split this into two conversations, because houses and condos are telling very different stories right now.
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 $801,509, down about 1.59% from the previous period. That's not a crash - it's the market taking a breather.
The real-world numbers back that up. One house sold recently at $945,000, while listings are averaging $999,000. Buyers are paying about 94.59% of list price - meaning sellers are giving up roughly $50,000 from their asking price to get a deal done. That's the definition of a buyers' market, and it matters if you're planning to list this summer.
One thing worth noting: the predicted value of $814,425 is climbing above the 3-month moving average of $803,112. That's a quiet signal that house values here are nudging upward even while the broader market cools. On the Ottawa neighbourhood leaderboard, we rank 41st out of 99 for growth - solidly above average. That's a number worth keeping in your back pocket.
We'll be straight with you - the condo side of our neighbourhood is under more pressure. The average HonestDoor Price for a condo is $277,852, down 4.65% from the previous period. The predicted market value sits at $291,392, but that number is actually sliding - it's below the 3-month moving average of $302,698. Values have shifted by -3.40% recently.
On the Ottawa condo leaderboard, we rank 73rd out of 104 for growth. That puts us in below-average territory. If you own a condo here, this is exactly the moment to get a current HonestDoor Price - not to panic, but to know where you actually stand.
One silver lining: our condo values still beat nearby Skyline - Fisher Heights ($254,610) and Carleton Heights - Rideauview ($277,386). We're not the weakest link in the area - but the trend line deserves attention.
Here's the thing about your city assessment - it's a snapshot from the past. Ottawa's assessments can lag real market conditions by a year or more. In a neighbourhood where house values are ticking up toward $814,000 and condo values are actively shifting, that old number on your property tax bill is basically fiction.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual sales data, current listings, and local market signals. It's the number a buyer's agent is looking at right now - not the number the city calculated before the market moved. Whether you're a house owner watching values inch up or a condo owner navigating a softer stretch, knowing your real number is the first step to making a smart decision.

If you own a house here and you're thinking about listing, the window is real but it requires a smart strategy. Buyers are negotiating hard - that 94.59% sale-to-list ratio tells you they have options. Homes are sitting for 34 days on average, which means overpricing will cost you time and leverage. Price it sharp from day one, and you'll find a buyer. Price it with wishful thinking, and you'll be chasing the market down.
If you own a condo and you're on the fence, the data suggests sooner is better than later. Values are trending down, and the growth rank of 73rd out of 104 means other Ottawa neighbourhoods are outpacing us right now. That doesn't mean panic-sell - it means go in with clear eyes and a current number.
Either way, your first move is the same: pull your HonestDoor Price, compare it to what's actually selling nearby, and then have the conversation. Summer is coming, and the buyers who are serious are already looking.
