July brought a healthy mix of stability and opportunity to the real estate market in Cornwall and South Stormont. With inventory levels holding steady and interest rates on pause, now is a key moment to make informed moves—whether you're looking to buy, sell, or upgrade.
Let’s break down what’s happening locally and what it means for you.
📊 Average Prices and Trends
In Cornwall, the average sale price in July came in at $453,198. That number reflects steady demand, particularly for well-maintained detached homes and updated condos.
Meanwhile, South Stormont saw a higher average of $641,047, continuing its trend as one of the most desirable areas in SD&G. With larger lots, executive-style homes, and family-friendly amenities, this area remains popular with move-up buyers and Ottawa commuters.
📝 Trend Spotlight: Homes with clean curb appeal, updated interiors, and smart staging are outperforming others—often getting more showings and better offers.
🏠 Cornwall Real Estate Inventory
We saw 143 active listings in Cornwall during July, which included:
106 detached homes
20 condos. In total, 52 homes sold during the month—showing a healthy absorption rate for motivated sellers.
In South Stormont, 43 detached homes were listed in July and 18 were sold. This means more than 40% of listed homes successfully changed hands—a strong indicator of serious buyer demand in this area.
⏱ Average time on market has increased slightly, giving buyers a bit more room to breathe—but homes that are priced right and marketed well are still moving quickly.
🤔 What This Means for Buyers
In late July, the Bank of Canada announced a hold on interest rates—offering some welcome stability after a year of volatility. For buyers, that’s a green light to move forward with confidence.
What buyers should know this month:
Fixed-rate pre-approvals are your best friend
There's room to negotiate on listings that have sat for 30+ days
Competition is down compared to spring, but great homes still go fast
💡 Pro Tip: Work with a Realtor who knows how to spot overpricing and opportunity—you could land a deal others overlook.
💰 What This Means for Sellers
This is still a great time to list—especially in South Stormont and Cornwall, where low inventory means buyers don’t have endless options.
Here’s how to win in this market:
Stage your home (virtually or in-person)
Price competitively from day one
Maximize your listing exposure through pro photos, video, and social ads
If your home checks the right boxes, you could sell faster—and for more—than you think.
🔥 Local Hot Spot: South Stormont
South Stormont continues to be one of the hottest markets in the region. With an average sale price of over $640,000, it’s attracting:
Families moving up from smaller homes
Relocators from Ottawa looking for better value
Buyers wanting proximity to the St. Lawrence River
Homes with income potential, garages, or recent updates are especially in demand.
