At The Wrigley Team, we monitor every shift in pricing, inventory, and buyer activity across Eastern Ontario. Here’s a detailed look at what’s happening right now — and what it means for homeowners and buyers in these growing communities.
Embrun Market Overview
Balanced and Steady Growth
The Embrun housing market has remained stable over the past year, with steady prices and moderate listing activity. Buyers are drawn to Embrun’s mix of modern homes, quiet streets, and easy access to Ottawa via Highway 417.
Typical homes in the area range between $550,000 and $700,000, depending on lot size and upgrades. Days on market remain healthy, suggesting a balanced environment where both buyers and sellers can succeed.
What This Means for Sellers
If you’re selling in Embrun, presentation and pricing strategy are everything. Homes that show well — particularly newer builds and move-in-ready properties — continue to attract serious buyers quickly.
What This Means for Buyers
Buyers in Embrun benefit from choice and value. With ongoing community expansion, there’s an opportunity to purchase quality homes before prices climb further.
Russell Market Overview
Consistent Demand from Ottawa Buyers
Russell remains one of the most desirable communities east of Ottawa, thanks to its small-town atmosphere, great schools, and strong infrastructure. The market continues to perform steadily, with average sale prices hovering around the mid-$600,000 range.
A True Family Market
Buyers are drawn to Russell’s walkable neighbourhoods, parks, and recreation facilities. Larger detached homes remain popular, especially for families looking to trade the city for more space and value.
Market Insight from Our Team
In Russell, well-priced listings tend to sell faster than the regional average. Sellers who position their homes correctly from day one are still seeing strong offers, often within a few weeks of going live.
Rockland Market Overview
A Riverside Community with Momentum
Rockland continues to see strong buyer interest, driven by its scenic riverfront setting and proximity to Ottawa. Prices have held steady, and the community’s mix of new developments and established neighbourhoods makes it appealing to both first-time and repeat buyers.
Demand Patterns
Detached homes remain the strongest performers, but semi-detached and townhomes are increasingly popular among buyers seeking affordability. Rockland’s continued investment in amenities, schools, and commercial growth is keeping demand high.
The Buyer Advantage
With moderate inventory levels and stable pricing, buyers in Rockland have room to explore without the intense bidding competition seen in larger markets.
Key Regional Trends
-
Price Stability – Across all three communities, prices have plateaued slightly compared to last year, creating fair conditions for both sides.
-
Low-to-Moderate Inventory – Supply levels remain manageable, keeping the market competitive but not overheated.
-
Steady Demand – Commuters and families continue to move eastward for affordability and quality of life.
-
Strong Long-Term Outlook – Infrastructure investments, new developments, and population growth suggest continued appreciation over time.
What This Means for Homeowners
If you’re considering selling, now is an excellent time to take advantage of steady demand and balanced conditions. Homes priced strategically — with professional presentation and local marketing — can still achieve premium results.
If you’re buying, today’s market offers opportunity and choice without the urgency of bidding wars. Acting now positions you ahead of the next wave of market acceleration expected in the coming year.
