Lac-Des-Fees-Wrightville, Gatineau - July 2026 Real Estate Report

Lac-Des-Fees-Wrightville Real Estate Update: Solid Houses, Soft Condos - Here Is Where Things Actually Stand

The Vibe Right Now

If you have been watching the market in Lac-Des-Fees-Wrightville, here is the honest read: houses and condos are telling two very different stories right now. One side of the ledger looks pretty good. The other needs a reality check.

Houses - Steady and Earning Their Keep

The average HonestDoor Price for a house here sits at $495,018. It dipped a small 0.41% from the previous period - that is not a crash, that is the market catching its breath. The predicted market value is actually nudging up to $497,068, which is above the 3-month moving average of $495,311. That upward tick matters. It means momentum, even if it is modest.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $495,018
• Predicted Market Value: $497,068
• Average Sale Price: $430,700
• Price Per Square Foot: $252
• Estimated Monthly Rent: $2,460
• Rental Yield: 5.66%
• Airbnb Potential: $122 per night
• Neighbourhood Growth Rank: 22 out of 36 in Gatineau
• Price Rank: 11 out of 14 in Gatineau

That 5.66% rental yield is the number we should all be paying attention to. For context, that is a strong return. If you own a house here and have been thinking about renting it out, the math is working in your favour. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, we sit at 22 out of 36 for growth - middle of the pack, not leading the race, but not falling behind either.

Compared to neighbours like Parc De La Montagne-St-Raymond ($583,699) and Val-Tetreau ($591,513), our houses are priced lower. That gap is actually a selling point for buyers who are being priced out of those areas and looking our way.

Condos - Time to Pay Attention

The condo picture is more complicated. The average HonestDoor Price jumped 8.65% to $222,670 - that sounds great on the surface. But the predicted market value is $204,934, which is actually sliding below the 3-month moving average of $206,981. Recent values have moved down 2.44%. On the Gatineau condo leaderboard, we rank 33 out of 35 for growth. That is near the bottom, and it is worth knowing.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $222,670 (up 8.65%)
• Predicted Market Value: $204,934
• Estimated Monthly Rent: $1,111
• Rental Yield: 4.31%
• Airbnb Potential: $60 per night
• Growth Rank: 33 out of 35 in Gatineau

The 4.31% rental yield on condos is moderate - not bad, but not exciting. And nearby Val-Tetreau condos are averaging $334,064, which tells us buyers who want a condo with more upside might be looking elsewhere. If you own a condo here, this is not a panic moment, but it is a "know your numbers" moment.

The Secret Sauce - Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment Right Now

Here is the thing about your city assessment: it is a snapshot from the past. The city looks at your property on a fixed date and that number gets used for years. Meanwhile, the actual market keeps moving - up, down, sideways.

The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It is pulling from actual sales data, current market signals, and what buyers are genuinely paying right now. For houses in Lac-Des-Fees-Wrightville, the HonestDoor Price of $495,018 versus an average sale price of $430,700 tells you there is a gap worth understanding before you price anything. If you are relying on your old assessment to decide whether to sell, refinance, or even just understand your net worth, you are working with stale information. Check your HonestDoor Price first - it is the real-world number.

The So What - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

For house owners, the timing is not terrible. Values are holding, the predicted price is trending up, and buyers who cannot afford Parc De La Montagne-St-Raymond or Val-Tetreau are looking at us as the more accessible option. That is a real advantage heading into summer. Price it right - not based on your assessment, but based on your HonestDoor Price and what that $252 per square foot benchmark tells you about where you stand.

For condo owners, be realistic. The growth rank of 33 out of 35 means this is not a seller's market for condos right now. If you need to sell, price competitively. If you can hold, the 4.31% rental yield means renting it out while you wait is a reasonable play.

Bottom line - houses here have a story to tell buyers this summer. Condos need a sharper pencil. Either way, start with your HonestDoor Price, not a number the city calculated two years ago.
