Embrun real estate
Embrun is the largest community in Russell Township and one of the faster growing towns east of Ottawa. I help buyers and sellers here.
Living in Embrun
Embrun is a community in the Township of Russell, in the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, and part of the National Capital Region. The 2021 Census counted about 8,700 people in Embrun, making it the largest community in the township, and it grew quickly between 2016 and 2021. French is spoken by a majority of residents, with a strong English-speaking community too.
The town was settled in the 1840s and named after Embrun, France. Today it offers schools in both languages, sports and recreation facilities, local shops and services, and plenty of newer neighbourhoods alongside older streets near the centre of town.
Families often like Embrun for its community feel and its newer housing, with Ottawa within commuting distance.
Buying a home in Embrun
Embrun buyers usually compare newer detached homes, townhouses and semi-detached homes, plus bungalows for people who want one-floor living. With new construction in the area, it is worth comparing resale homes with builder options. I can walk you through builder agreements and timelines, and help you understand which HST rebates may apply; your lawyer and accountant confirm the details.
Before you offer, you will see recent comparable sales so you know what the home is worth, and we set conditions for financing and inspection that protect you.
Selling your home in Embrun
Selling in a growing town means your home may compete with new builds as well as resale listings. My written market analysis looks at both, along with recent sales on comparable streets, so your price and timing make sense.
I handle professional photos, MLS® exposure, showings and offers, and I market to buyers searching in Embrun, Russell, Orléans and Ottawa.
Getting around
Embrun is about 44 km from Ottawa, just off Highway 417, between Russell and Limoges. Most commuters drive the 417 toward the city. Drive times vary a lot with traffic and weather, so test the trip at your usual hours.
Who I help in Embrun
I help first-time buyers, families moving up or moving out of the city, and owners selling to downsize or relocate. I am based in Rockland.
Questions about Embrun
Is Embrun a good place for families?
Many families choose Embrun for its newer neighbourhoods, schools in both languages, recreation facilities and community feel. Every family's needs are different, so I help you compare streets and homes on what matters to you, such as yard size, distance to school and commute.
Should I buy a new build or a resale home in Embrun?
Both can make sense. A new build lets you choose finishes and comes with a builder warranty, but you may wait for completion and pay for extras. A resale home is ready now and often comes with landscaping, fences and window coverings. I can lay out the real costs of each option side by side.
How far is Embrun from Ottawa?
Embrun is about 44 km from Ottawa, just off Highway 417. Your actual drive depends on where you are going and when, so test it at rush hour.
Do you cover both Embrun and Russell?
Yes. Both are in the Township of Russell, and I help buyers compare the two.
How do I get a home value for my Embrun house?
Ask for my free home value report. I compare your home with recent sales and current listings in Embrun, including new construction, and send you a written analysis. It is a comparative market analysis, not an appraisal.

Real reviews from my Google Business Profile, quoted word for word.
As first time home buyers we are so fortunate to have been paired with Paul, his sound guidance, responsiveness and expertise helped us land the home of our dreams in a difficult market. We would have sat and waited too long to put in an offer had we not followed his advice. We had a lot of unknowns and each time one popped up Paul found answers SUPER quickly- even our insurance agent was impressed by his responsiveness. He did an amazing job helping us source reliable experts for the many inspections we had and was very impressive doing so on a short time frame. We are so grateful for all of Paul’s hard work, dedication, and negotiation skills. You can tell he's a people's person who loves what he does and is energized by the joy of helping people. Would recommend and would trust Paul again :) (He additionally got us some house warming gifts- included baby chickens! )

Paul is the best man to find you a new home! He'll do it quick and stress free, not pushy at all into buying a home. Out of all the Agents I have met buying multiple homes, he's definitely number #1. Really cares about finding your dream home that matches your need and comfort. He also loves his job which makes it enjoyable for everyone. He treats you like family and is always honest and humble with his recommendations. My experience was absolutely amazing and I will call him on my next purchase for sure. I highly recommend him. Thanks again for everything!
