What is my Stittsville home worth? Your Stittsville home value depends mostly on which part of Stittsville you are in, whether you own a bungalow, a two-storey home or a townhouse, and how your home compares with the homes that sold nearby in the last few months. In October 2026, the benchmark price of a typical home was about $670,000 in Stittsville North, $769,000 in Stittsville Central and $818,000 in Stittsville South, and bungalow values were rising while most other home types slipped. The accurate figure comes from a comparative market analysis of recent sales of similar homes, adjusted for your home’s condition, lot and updates.
Jason Polonski prepares that analysis for Stittsville homeowners at no cost and with no obligation. Use the form below, or call or text (613) 601-9333. This guide explains how Stittsville homes are valued, what is happening to values in each part of the community, and what you can do before listing to protect your price.
How Is a Stittsville Home Valued?
A realistic value starts with a comparative market analysis (CMA), the same approach a buyer’s agent uses to test an asking price and close to how a lender’s appraiser works. For a Stittsville home, Jason weighs:
- Recent sales in the same area and era: a home in Jackson Trails is compared with other Jackson Trails sales, not with a brand-new build a few kilometres away.
- Home type and layout: bungalow, two-storey, semi or townhouse, plus finished square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms and the basement.
- Lot and setting: backing onto the Trans Canada Trail, a pond or a park, a pie-shaped lot, or a location on a busy road such as Hazeldean or Fernbank.
- Condition and systems: roof, windows, furnace, air conditioning, electrical panel and plumbing, plus kitchens and bathrooms.
- Today’s competition: the resale homes for sale nearby and, in newer areas, the new builds on offer a few streets away.
- Market conditions: how quickly similar homes are selling and how close to asking.
The outcome is a price range with a pricing strategy attached. Pricing inside that range attracts buyers in the first couple of weeks, when a listing gets the most attention. The comparative market analysis guide walks through the method step by step.
Why Stittsville needs a finer lens than most suburbs
Stittsville has a 19th-century village core, subdivisions from the 1970s through the 2000s, a large wave of new construction in its newer communities, and rural properties on wells and septic on its edges. A single Stittsville average blends all of these together. Good comparables have to come from the same type of community, which is why Jason starts with your area and your property type before anything else.
How Have Home Values Changed in Your Stittsville Area?
The Ottawa Real Estate Board (OREB) splits Stittsville into three areas in its detailed monthly report: Stittsville Central (8202), Stittsville South (8203) and Stittsville North (8211). For each, it publishes a MLS® Home Price Index benchmark that prices a typical home with consistent features.
| Benchmark (change from Oct 2025) | Stittsville Central | Stittsville South | Stittsville North | All of Ottawa |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Typical home (composite) | $768,800 (down 0.5%) | $818,300 (down 1.9%) | $670,300 (down 2.2%) | $616,900 (down 1.3%) |
| Bungalow (one-storey) | $899,900 (up 5.1%) | $893,900 (up 4.3%) | $866,800 (up 5.1%) | $615,700 (down 3.1%) |
| Two-storey | $871,000 (up 0.8%) | $944,000 (down 2.3%) | $783,600 (down 2.0%) | $758,100 (up 0.6%) |
| Townhouse | $584,100 (down 2.7%) | $571,500 (down 3.7%) | $545,900 (down 3.9%) | $539,800 (down 4.3%) |

Three things stand out. Stittsville Central is the firmest area, with its detached benchmark up 2.1% from a year earlier. Two-storey family homes in Stittsville South and North are where values have softened most among freehold homes. And bungalows are in a market of their own, which is covered below. The Stittsville real estate market update for October 2026 has the full sales and inventory figures.
Which area is your home in?
OREB’s area boundaries do not always match how neighbours describe their street, so Jason confirms your area when he pulls comparables. The Stittsville neighbourhoods guide describes each community.
The surrounding rural areas, such as Fringewood, are valued differently again. Acreage homes on a private well and septic system are compared with other rural estate sales, and a recent water test and septic inspection carry real weight with buyers. The City of Ottawa’s private well guidance explains what buyers will ask for.

Why Are Stittsville Bungalow Values Rising?
Stittsville bungalows were the standout in the October 2026 data. One-storey benchmarks rose 4.3% to 5.1% from a year earlier in all three areas, while one-storey values across Ottawa fell 3.1%. In Stittsville Central and North, a typical bungalow is now benchmarked higher than a typical two-storey home.
The reason is simple supply and demand. Stittsville has a large group of long-time owners who want to stay close to family, friends and familiar amenities but move to one level, and there are not many bungalows to go around. Newer adult-lifestyle and bungalow-focused communities have added some supply, but not enough to meet demand. If you own a bungalow, that matters for your pricing: your comparables are other Stittsville bungalows, and buyers in that segment are competing for very few listings.
If you own a two-storey home and plan to downsize into a bungalow nearby, the gap works the other way. Your sale price may not stretch as far as you expect, so it pays to value both sides of the move before you list. The downsizing in Stittsville guide and the bungalows for sale in Stittsville page cover that side of the decision.
How Does New Construction Affect Stittsville Resale Values?
Stittsville has a large amount of new construction, and builders’ prices set a reference point for buyers. A buyer weighing a five-year-old resale townhouse will compare it with a brand-new one a few streets away, including the builder’s incentives, the new-home warranty and the chance to pick finishes.
Resale homes compete on things builders cannot match: a finished basement, a fenced and landscaped yard, mature trees, window coverings, a completed neighbourhood and a move-in date measured in weeks rather than months or years. Homes under seven years old also carry the remaining Tarion new-home warranty, which transfers to the next owner. A good evaluation prices your home against both the resale listings and the new builds a buyer will actually tour. The guide to new construction homes in Stittsville shows what you are competing with.
Are Online Home Value Estimates Accurate in Stittsville?
They are a fair starting point, but rarely accurate enough to price a home. Only 36 homes sold across Stittsville’s three main areas in October 2026, split between bungalows, two-storey homes and townhouses. With so few recent sales of each type, an automated estimate can easily blend a bungalow with a townhouse, or a 1980s home with a 2022 build. It also cannot see your finished basement, your updated kitchen or the 20-year-old roof that a buyer’s inspector will flag.
Get Cash Back When You Buy a Home in Ottawa
Can you get cash back when buying a home in Ottawa? Yes. Jason Polonski, a Chairman's Club REALTOR® serving Ottawa and Kanata, shares part of his commission with buyers — up to $3,000 cash back at closing.* You still get full-service, award-winning representation: expert pricing, sharp negotiation, and hands-on guidance from first showing to keys in hand. No cut corners and no rebate-only shortcuts — just real money back in your pocket when you buy your Ottawa or Kanata home.
What Raises a Stittsville Home’s Value Before You Sell?
Jason’s background in the construction and electrical trades shapes this part of the evaluation. He walks the home the way a buyer’s inspector will, then tells you plainly which work will pay for itself and which will not.
Usually worth doing
- Neutral paint, new light fixtures, replaced caulking and repairs to anything visibly broken.
- Correcting grading and downspouts that send water toward the foundation, a common issue in older Stittsville subdivisions.
- Small electrical repairs done properly, with an Electrical Safety Authority permit where required.
- A radon test if you do not have a recent result. Health Canada recommends that every home be tested.
- For newer homes, finishing the small items buyers notice: a deck, a fence, sodding or window coverings.
Worth disclosing and pricing for
- A roof, furnace or air conditioner nearing the end of its life.
- Original windows with failed seals, or an older electrical panel in a 1970s or 1980s home.
- For rural homes, the age of the septic system and the results of a recent well water test.
Usually not worth doing right before a sale
A full kitchen renovation or a basement finished in a hurry seldom returns its cost, and unpermitted work invites questions during the buyer’s due diligence. If you are not sure what a buyer will find, a pre-listing inspection is usually a better investment than a renovation.
What Do Stittsville Buyers Pay More For?
- One-level living, for the reasons above.
- Trail and park access: homes near the Trans Canada Trail, ponds and green space are easy to market to families and active retirees alike.
- Schools: families check catchments with the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board and the Catholic and French-language boards; the Stittsville schools guide lists the options.
- Commute: quick access to Highway 417 and to employers in Kanata North.
- Finished space: a finished basement, a main-floor office or a fourth bedroom.
- Village character: walkability to Stittsville Main Street’s shops and restaurants appeals to buyers who want a small-town feel inside the city.
What Does Today’s Market Mean for Your Stittsville Home Value?
Stittsville shifted toward buyers in October 2026, mostly because more sellers came to market. According to OREB’s detailed October report:
- 36 homes sold across Stittsville Central, South and North, down about 8% from a year earlier.
- New listings jumped about 29% to 94, so the sales-to-new-listings ratio fell to 38.3%, below the 40% level usually read as the edge of a buyer’s market.
- Months of inventory was 3.9, still tighter than Ottawa’s 4.4 months.
- Homes that sold went for 97.9% of list price on average, slightly better than a year earlier.
Conditions differed sharply by area. Stittsville North had a wave of new detached listings, while Stittsville South tightened and Stittsville Central sold quickest, with a median of just 15 days on market. OREB publishes the citywide picture in its monthly news releases.
Borrowing costs are the other factor. The Bank of Canada raised its policy rate to 2.5% on October 28, 2026. At Stittsville’s price points, small rate moves change monthly payments by hundreds of dollars, so buyers are careful and well-priced homes win. Homes priced from 2025 comparables are the ones sitting.
Home Evaluation vs Appraisal vs MPAC Assessment
A home evaluation, or CMA, is prepared by a REALTOR® to set a list price and strategy, and Jason provides it free. An appraisal is completed by a professional appraiser, often designated through the Appraisal Institute of Canada, for a lender during a purchase or refinance. Your MPAC assessment is used only for property taxes, and Ontario assessments are still based on January 1, 2016 values, so it usually sits well below today’s market value.
When Should You Get Your Stittsville Home Evaluated?
- Before buying your next home. If you are moving up or downsizing within Stittsville, your realistic sale price sets your budget, and the timing of both closings needs a plan.
- Before choosing between renovating and selling. A value with and without the project shows whether it pays.
- When a new build nearby changes the picture. New phases and builder incentives can shift what resale buyers will pay.
- For estates, separations and other special situations, where a documented value matters.

Stittsville Home Value FAQs
It depends on your area, home type, size, lot and condition. In October 2026, OREB benchmarks for a typical home were about $670,000 in Stittsville North, $769,000 in Stittsville Central and $818,000 in Stittsville South, but your exact value comes from a comparative market analysis of recent nearby sales.
Yes. Jason Polonski provides a free, no-obligation home evaluation for Stittsville homeowners, with a written price range, a pricing strategy and an estimate of your net proceeds.
It depends on the home type. In October 2026, bungalow benchmarks were up 4.3% to 5.1% from a year earlier, Stittsville Central’s detached benchmark was up 2.1%, and townhouse and two-storey values in Stittsville South and North were down roughly 2% to 4%.
Demand from long-time residents who want to downsize to one level without leaving Stittsville outstrips the small supply of bungalows. In Stittsville Central and North, a typical bungalow is now benchmarked above a typical two-storey home.
Not necessarily, but it sets a reference point. Buyers compare resale homes with nearby new builds, so your price needs to reflect what you offer that a builder does not, such as a finished basement, landscaping and a quick closing.
Rural homes on wells and septic systems, such as those in Fringewood, are compared with other rural estate sales. Lot size, the condition of the well and septic system and a recent water test all affect the value.
Whenever you are seriously considering selling, and again if several months pass before you list, because Stittsville’s listings and new-build competition change quickly.
