Lac-Des-Fees-Wrightville, Gatineau - October 2026 Real Estate Report
Lac-Des-Fees-Wrightville Real Estate Update: What Your Neighbour Hasn't Told You Yet
The Vibe Right Now
If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs in Lac-Des-Fees-Wrightville, here's what's actually happening. The market is taking a breather. House values sit at an average HonestDoor Price of $496,263, down a modest 0.89% from last period. Condo prices are feeling a bit more pressure, with an average HonestDoor Price of $206,968, down 2.20%. Neither number is a disaster, but they're worth paying attention to.
Houses - The Straight Numbers
One house sold last month. That's a thin market, which means every single listing carries real weight. The average sale price came in at $430,700, and price per square foot is running around $252. The predicted market value for houses is $500,729 - that's actually trending up from the 3-month moving average of $497,437, which is a quiet but encouraging signal.
On the rental side, houses here are pulling their weight. Estimated rent is $2,458 per month with a rental yield of 5.65%. That's a strong return by any measure. If we're thinking about this neighbourhood as an investment, that yield number is the one to bookmark.
- Average HonestDoor Price (Houses): $496,263
- Average Sale Price: $430,700
- Price Per Square Foot: $252
- Predicted Market Value: $500,729
- 3-Month Moving Average: $497,437
- Estimated Monthly Rent: $2,458
- Rental Yield: 5.65%
- Neighbourhood Leaderboard - Growth Rank: 33 out of 41 in Gatineau
- Neighbourhood Leaderboard - Price Rank: 11 out of 14 in Gatineau
That growth rank of 33 out of 41 puts us in the bottom tier for Gatineau right now. No sugarcoating it. But the predicted value is still climbing month over month, so the story isn't all bad.
Condos - A Different Story
Condos here are actually punching above their weight on one key metric. The growth rank for condos sits at 8 out of 35 in Gatineau - that puts us in the above-average category on the neighbourhood leaderboard. That's worth noting if you own a condo here and have been feeling uncertain.
The catch is that the predicted condo value of $211,618 is drifting slightly below the 3-month moving average of $214,018. So values are easing off a bit in the short term. Rental income is estimated at $1,121 per month with a yield of 4.31% - moderate, but still positive cash flow territory for investors.
Compare that to nearby neighbourhoods and our condos look like a relative bargain. Val-Tetreau condos average $339,284. Parc De La Montagne-St-Raymond is at $286,706. We're the most affordable option in the immediate area by a clear margin.
- Average HonestDoor Price (Condos): $206,968
- Predicted Market Value: $211,618
- 3-Month Moving Average: $214,018
- Estimated Monthly Rent: $1,121
- Rental Yield: 4.31%
- Neighbourhood Leaderboard - Growth Rank: 8 out of 35 in Gatineau (above average)
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. The city looks at sale data from a reference date that could be a year or more behind where the market actually sits today. In a neighbourhood like Lac-Des-Fees-Wrightville where values are shifting month to month, that lag matters - a lot.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using current sales, local trends, and live market signals. Right now, the predicted house value of $500,729 is running higher than the average sale price of $430,700. That gap is information. It tells us the market may not be fully reflecting what these homes are actually worth. Your tax assessment almost certainly isn't either.
If you haven't checked your HonestDoor Price recently, now is the time to do it. Not next year when the city sends a new notice. Now.
The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?
Selling this summer in Lac-Des-Fees-Wrightville? Here's the honest read.
For house owners, the predicted value trending upward is a green light to at least get your number. With only one sale recorded last month, inventory is tight. Tight inventory means less competition for your listing. That's a seller's advantage, even in a market that's taking a breather on growth.
For condo owners, the affordability gap between us and nearby neighbourhoods like Val-Tetreau could actually work in your favour. Buyers priced out of those areas will look here next. You're the value play in a pricier market. Lead with that.
The bottom line for both - don't price off your old assessment. Check your HonestDoor Price, understand where your property sits on the leaderboard, and make a decision based on what the market is doing right now, not what it was doing 18 months ago.
