How These Guides Are Written

Local Stittsville Resources

Everything on this page is written by Jason Polonski, a full-time REALTOR® with Right at Home Realty, working across Ottawa’s west end since 2010. Before real estate he worked in construction and the electrical trades, which is why these guides spend more time on condition, systems and permits than most agent-written content does.

Where figures are involved, the guides point to the source rather than restating a number that will be stale within weeks — the Ottawa Real Estate Board for local market activity, the Canadian Real Estate Association for national context, CMHC for housing and rental research, and the City of Ottawa for permits, zoning and municipal services. Anything time-sensitive is worth confirming at the source before you act on it.

Jason is a member of the Ottawa Real Estate Board, the Ontario Real Estate Association and CREA, and is registered with the Real Estate Council of Ontario. Questions on anything here: (613) 601-9333.

About These Guides (FAQs)

It depends where you are in the process. If you are still deciding whether Stittsville is right for you, start with the community overview. If you have chosen Stittsville and are picking an area, start with the neighbourhoods comparison. If you are ready to transact, go straight to the buying or selling guide. The routing list near the top of this page maps each situation to a starting point.

Guides covering market conditions are reviewed most often, since prices and inventory move. Guides covering process, legislation and community information are reviewed when something material changes — a rule change, a new development, or a shift in how a step actually works in practice. Each page shows its own last-updated date.

Market activity comes from the Ottawa Real Estate Board and CREA, housing and rental research from CMHC, employment and demographic data from Statistics Canada, and permits and zoning from the City of Ottawa. Where a figure changes frequently, the guides link to the source instead of restating it, so you are working from current data rather than a snapshot.

They are written by Jason Polonski, a licensed REALTOR® registered with the Real Estate Council of Ontario, working in Ottawa’s west end full time. It matters for two reasons: the guidance reflects transactions actually done here rather than general advice, and a background in construction and the electrical trades shapes what these guides flag about condition, systems and permits — the issues that most often derail a sale.
