Laurentian, Ottawa - July 2026 Real Estate Report

Laurentian, Ottawa: Your House Is Worth More Than You Think - Your Condo, Maybe Less

The Vibe Right Now

If you live on a house-lined street in Laurentian, you are sitting on something genuinely valuable. If you own a condo here, the picture is a bit more complicated. Let's break it down honestly, because the two stories are very different right now.

Houses: A Top-10 Neighbourhood in All of Ottawa

Here is the number that should get your attention. The predicted market value for a house in Laurentian sits at $1,538,109 - and that figure is climbing. It is up against a 3-month moving average of $1,455,752, which tells us the momentum is pointing in the right direction. Property values have moved 4.94% recently.

On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Laurentian houses rank 8th out of 102 neighbourhoods in Ottawa for growth. That is a top-10 finish in a city of over 100 tracked areas. We are not just doing fine - we are outrunning most of the city.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $1,508,685
• Recent HonestDoor Price change: -1.91% (a small dip, not a trend)
• Predicted market value: $1,538,109
• 3-month moving average: $1,455,752 (values are rising above this)
• Average sale price: $1,300,000 at roughly $500 per square foot
• Estimated monthly rent: $5,534 to $5,599
• Rental yield: 4.20%
• Airbnb rank in Ottawa: 2nd out of all neighbourhoods
• Airbnb income estimate: $275 per night
• Growth rank: 8 out of 102 Ottawa neighbourhoods
• Price rank: 8 out of 24 comparable Ottawa neighbourhoods

That Airbnb ranking is worth pausing on. Laurentian sits 2nd in all of Ottawa for short-term rental income potential at $275 a night. If you have a basement suite or a secondary unit, that is a serious number to factor into your property's value story.

Compare us to the neighbours: Woodroffe - Lincoln Heights houses are priced at $1,066,756, Westboro at $1,290,364, and Carlingwood West at $973,292. Laurentian houses are priced above all of them - and the growth data backs up why.

Condos: Taking a Breather

We will be straight with you here. The condo side of Laurentian is cooling off. The predicted market value for condos is $378,081, which is sliding below the 3-month moving average of $391,830. Values have shifted -2.62% recently, and the growth rank sits at 84th out of 104 Ottawa neighbourhoods. That puts condo performance in the bottom tier of the city right now.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $387,737
• Recent HonestDoor Price change: +2.55% (a small positive signal)
• Predicted market value: $378,081
• 3-month moving average: $391,830 (values are dipping below this)
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,026
• Rental yield: 4.06%
• Airbnb income estimate: $100 per night
• Airbnb rank in Ottawa: 54th
• Growth rank: 84 out of 104 Ottawa neighbourhoods

Nearby Woodroffe - Lincoln Heights condos are predicted at $417,045 - that is higher than where Laurentian condos sit right now. If you own a condo here and have been thinking about selling, the window where you had a clear pricing edge over nearby areas has narrowed.

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

Here is the thing about your city tax assessment - it is a snapshot taken in the past. Ottawa's assessment cycle means the number on your property tax bill could be based on market conditions from a year or two ago. A lot has moved since then.

The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual sales data, market trends, and current comparable properties. For Laurentian house owners, the HonestDoor Price of $1,508,685 reflects what the market looks like today - not what a government office recorded last year. With predicted values now at $1,538,109 and climbing above the 3-month average, your real-world number is almost certainly higher than what your assessment says.

Checking your HonestDoor Price right now is not just curiosity. It is the difference between knowing your actual equity and guessing at it.

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

If you own a house in Laurentian, this summer is a serious conversation worth having. You are in a top-8 growth neighbourhood in Ottawa, your predicted value is trending above recent averages, and you are priced above every comparable neighbourhood nearby. Buyers looking at Westboro or Woodroffe and getting sticker shock will find Laurentian on their shortlist. That is buyer demand you can use.

The one thing to watch: the average sale price of $1,300,000 is sitting below the HonestDoor predicted value of $1,538,109. That gap is worth a conversation with your agent about pricing strategy - listing too low in a neighbourhood with this kind of growth ranking leaves real money on the table.

If you own a condo and are thinking about selling this summer, move with more urgency. Values are dipping below the 3-month average, the growth rank is near the bottom of Ottawa's leaderboard, and nearby neighbourhoods are starting to look more competitive on price. Waiting for the market to turn around here is a gamble. If selling is on your radar, sooner is better than later.

Either way, start by pulling your HonestDoor Price. It takes 30 seconds and gives you the real-world number - not the one the city printed on your tax bill months ago.
