If you own a home in Orlans Avalon, Notting Gate, Fallingbrook, or Gardenway South, here is the honest truth right now: the market is holding steady, houses are selling fast, and your city assessment is almost certainly behind the curve. Let us break it down.
We are in a stable, balanced market - but do not mistake "balanced" for "slow." Houses in our neighbourhood are moving in an average of just 6 days. That is not a slow market. That is a market where prepared sellers win and unprepared ones scramble.
Here is the split between houses and condos right now:
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, our houses rank 51 out of 102 Ottawa neighbourhoods for growth - putting us in the above-average tier. More telling? Our days-on-market rank is 2 out of 13 comparable areas. We are one of the fastest-selling pockets in the city. That matters if you are thinking about listing.
Condos here rank 29 out of 103 Ottawa neighbourhoods for growth - that is genuinely above average. The short-term dip in HonestDoor Price is minor. The longer trend still points in the right direction. Condo owners are not in trouble; they are just in a pause.
Here is the thing about your city assessment - it is a snapshot from the past. The city runs those numbers on a fixed cycle, which means your official assessed value could be months or even years behind what your home is actually worth today.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It pulls from current sales, current market movement, and current demand in our specific streets - not a city-wide formula applied from a desk downtown. For houses in our area, that real-world number sits at $717,686 and is climbing. If you are making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just understanding your net worth - the HonestDoor Price is the number to start with, not the one on your tax bill.
Our neighbourhood also holds its own against nearby areas. Queenswood Heights averages $658,444 for houses. Orlans Village - Chateauneuf comes in at $690,238. Chatelaine Village is at $583,459. We are priced above all three - and our 6-day average sell time suggests buyers agree with that premium.
If you are on the fence about listing this summer, here is what the numbers are telling us:
The window is open. A balanced market with fast days-on-market and 100% sale-to-list ratios is about as clean a selling environment as you will get. Waiting for a "better" market is a gamble when the current one is already working in your favour.
Check your HonestDoor Price before you call an agent, before you set a list price, and before you assume your tax assessment tells the whole story. In Orlans Avalon, Notting Gate, Fallingbrook, and Gardenway South right now - it does not.
