Key Metrics (May 2026, combined)

What This Means for Buyers

With more than 700 active listings across the two communities, buyers have meaningful selection and some negotiating room. That said, well-priced homes in sought-after neighbourhoods — Kanata Lakes, Jackson Trails, Bridlewood — continue to sell quickly, often at or near list price.

Pricing discipline matters: roughly one in six homes (~16.6%) still sold above asking. Buyers who've done their homework and are ready to act decisively on the right property are winning in this market.

What This Means for Sellers

The spring market is active, but buyers are informed and selective. With healthy inventory, the advantage goes to homes that are well-priced, well-presented, and professionally marketed. Overpricing remains the single biggest drag on time-to-sell.

Homes priced at market are achieving strong, fast results. The market rewards preparation, staging, and strategic pricing — not wishful thinking.

Looking Ahead

We expect balanced conditions to continue through the rest of Q2. The Bank of Canada's rate path remains a factor, but Kanata–Stittsville's fundamentals — strong schools, growing tech employment, and limited new supply — continue to support stable demand.
