My October newsletter is here! September brought a noticeable shift in Ottawa’s housing market. Sales held relatively steady from August, but new listings jumped 38.1%, giving buyers considerably more choice. Active inventory also increased, while the average sale price of $685,640 remained essentially unchanged from August and was just 1% below last September. Overall, we’re seeing a softer, more buyer-friendly market, with more selection, longer selling times and greater negotiating room.
Also in this month’s newsletter, you’ll find an update for first-time home buyers, including some important 2026 programs and incentives and the new GST/HST relief available on qualifying new-construction homes.
If you’re thinking about buying or selling, or simply like to keep an eye on what’s happening in Ottawa real estate, have a read! 🏡
As always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the market. I’m happy to chat!
