Carleton University, Ottawa - July 2026 Real Estate Report

Carleton University, Ottawa: Your Home Is Worth More Than the City Thinks

The Vibe Right Now

If you own property near Carleton University, you are sitting in one of Ottawa's more interesting spots. Houses and condos are telling two different stories here - and knowing which one applies to you could be worth serious money.

Houses: A Breather, Not a Bust

House prices in Carleton University are taking a short breather. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $1,244,571, down 3.30% from last period. But here is the part that matters - the predicted market value for houses is $1,286,986, and that number is climbing above the 3-month moving average of $1,231,643. The market is not falling apart. It is resetting and pointing back up.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $1,244,571
• Predicted Market Value: $1,286,986
• 3-Month Moving Average: $1,231,643
• Recent Value Change: 9.95%
• Growth Rank: 3 out of 102 neighbourhoods in Ottawa
• Average Rental Estimate: $4,843 per month
• Rental Yield: 4.56%
• Airbnb Estimate: $240 per night - ranked 7th in Ottawa

That growth rank is the headline. Third out of 102 Ottawa neighbourhoods puts Carleton University houses in the top tier of the city. Your neighbours in Glebe - Dows Lake are paying more on average at $1,474,118, but we are closing that gap. Old Ottawa South sits just below us at $1,221,399.

Condos: Quietly Climbing

Condo owners, your story is a steady one. The average HonestDoor Price is $830,000, up 1.29% from last period. The predicted market value of $819,450 is rising well above the 3-month moving average of $683,425 - that is a meaningful jump and a sign that condo demand here is building momentum.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $830,000
• Predicted Market Value: $819,450
• 3-Month Moving Average: $683,425
• Recent Value Change: 2.46%
• Growth Rank: 43 out of 104 neighbourhoods in Ottawa - above average
• Average Rental Estimate: $3,755 per month
• Rental Yield: 3.20%
• Airbnb Estimate: $188 per night - ranked 10th in Ottawa

Compared to nearby condos, Glebe - Dows Lake averages $1,542,392 and Old Ottawa South hits $1,621,297. Carleton University condos are priced with real room to grow. Civic Hospital - Central Park comes in lower at $491,136, which puts us solidly in the middle of a strong corridor.

The Secret Sauce: Your HonestDoor Price vs. Your Tax Assessment

Here is the thing about your city assessment - it is a snapshot from the past. Ottawa's assessment cycle means the number on your tax bill could be reflecting a market that existed a year or two ago. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual sales data and market signals happening right now.

For house owners here, that gap matters. If your assessment is anchoring your expectations at a lower number, you could be leaving real money on the table when you price a listing or negotiate a sale. A house predicted at $1,286,986 with a growth rank of 3 out of 102 is not a number any static government document is going to capture accurately. Check your HonestDoor Price before you make any move.

So What Does This Mean If You Are Thinking About Selling This Summer?

For house sellers - the timing is genuinely interesting. Prices dipped slightly but the predicted value and the 3-month trend are both pointing higher. Sitting in the top 3 neighbourhoods for growth in Ottawa is a real selling point, not just a stat. Buyers looking at Glebe or Old Ottawa South will cross-shop here, and we are priced to attract them.

For condo sellers - the momentum is building but it is not explosive yet. A 2.46% recent change and a rank of 43 out of 104 means you are in above-average territory. If you wait for peak summer activity, you may catch a stronger wave. If you need to move now, the numbers still support a solid sale.

Either way, do not price off your tax assessment. Pull your HonestDoor Price, see where you actually stand in real time, and make your decision from there. That is the move a savvy neighbour would tell you to make.
