Ottawa’s residential market entered 2026 on a balanced footing. Inventory levels remain higher than in recent years, giving buyers more choice, while sellers continue to adjust to conditions that reward accurate pricing and patience. Benchmark prices are down year over year across all housing types, with softer conditions most evident in townhouses and apartments. Detached homes continue to show greater price stability. Overall, January’s data points to a market that is operating more evenly, rather than one under broad-based pressure.

“What January is showing us is a market that’s adjusting in a healthy way,” said Tami Eades, President of the Ottawa Real Estate Board. “We’re seeing more choice for buyers, more realism on the selling side, and pricing that’s responding to those conditions without sharp swings. That kind of balance is a sign of stability, not stress.”

Ottawa eased into a slower market rhythm in November, shaped by early winter weather and a cautious economic environment. Sales declined from October and fell below November 2024 levels. Although active listings dipped down month over month, months of inventory (MOI) rose again after tightening earlier in the fall. The market remained broadly balanced, but the data shows a tilt toward higher supply, with November’s seasonal slowdown more pronounced than usual.

Recent rate cuts offer some optimism for renewed buyer engagement through the typically quiet winter months, setting the stage for a steadier start to the new year and a more energized spring. At the same time, elevated inventory in the townhome and apartment segments warrants ongoing attention to ensure clients understand the current dynamics.

“September reinforced Ottawa’s resilience, with sales nearly 2.4% higher than last year, and prices are holding steady despite more listings coming to market,” said Paul Czan, OREB President. “When you peel back the layers, you see that townhomes are driving stability while single-family homes are easing. And while Ottawa’s diversity of housing continues to increase inventory, missing middle housing—like townhomes—still aren't being built fast enough, and that’s something OREB continues to advocate for.”

“August was an active month for Ottawa’s housing market, with overall prices trending upward and sales activity stronger than in recent years as the summer season winds down,” said Tami Eades, OREB President-Elect.

“While we continue to see different price movements across segments, the broader picture points to renewed momentum in the Ottawa Region as buyers and sellers alike re-engage ahead of the fall market. Ottawa’s market reflects balanced conditions, though we are mindful of broader economic factors—such as federal employment trends and U.S. trade policies—that could affect our market in the months ahead.”

“While we’ve seen demand may be softening in the condo market, especially in the downtown core, as a whole, Ottawa’s real estate market continues to stand out for its resilience and stability," says Paul Czan, President of the Ottawa Real Estate Board (OREB).

"With steady demand, balanced inventory, and moderate price growth, our fundamentals remain strong. We’re keeping a close eye on changing dynamics, and we’ll continue monitoring the data and providing transparent insights to help our Members and the public navigate with confidence.”

“This was the busiest June we’ve seen in quite some time, with sales up 10.6% and new listings rising nearly 14% year over year, signifying we did, in fact, experience a delayed spring market,” says OREB President Paul Czan. “We’re seeing more inventory hit the market, giving buyers more choice. With the changing market conditions, sellers need to be future-focused—pricing thoughtfully and preparing their homes to be one of the top picks in their area.”

“Apartments are one segment that continues to feel the strain, with sales down about 20% across Ottawa and inventory building. There is a variety of compounding factors in play here, including an increase in new construction, elevated financing costs and rising strata fees reducing affordability—especially for first-time buyers, but also, we’re seeing neighbourhood-specific factors impacting demand,” adds Czan. “Still, Ottawa remains a stable market. We’re getting back to familiar seasonal trends—where summer activity will pick up for families looking for a home prior to the school year, and with students returning to the city—a stronger fall is likely ahead.”

“Year-to-date home sales activity remains in line with 2024; however, the 33.1% surge over April 2025 suggests we’re experiencing a delayed spring market,” says OREB President Paul Czan. “April’s federal election took up real estate in consumers’ minds. Now, we’re seeing a shift in the marketplace, with active listings on the rise and months of inventory holding steady. Buyers appear to be gaining confidence, re-entering the market and transacting. For sellers, however, rising inventory means that competitive pricing and strong presentation are more critical than ever.”

“Compared to markets like Toronto or Vancouver—which are seeing signs of stagnation—Ottawa is holding steady,” adds Czan. “Buyers and sellers are still able to transact fairly, with sale prices remaining close to list, even amid broader economic uncertainty. And the Bank of Canada’s recent decision to hold the key interest rate steady may spur more activity, as buyers grow more confident they’re not missing out on further downward movement.”

“While April sales were down year-over-year, we saw a healthy month-over-month increase—an encouraging sign of growing momentum as we move through the spring market,” says OREB President Paul Czan. “Inventory remains at higher levels compared to previous years, indicating a gradual move towards a balanced market.”

“With more certainty following the federal election, buyers are returning with greater confidence—but they're proceeding cautiously, taking their time, including conditions in their offers, and being more selective,” adds Czan. “Sellers, meanwhile, are adjusting to longer days on market, which makes strategic pricing and thoughtful home preparation more important than ever. If the listing is priced well, shows well, it's moving—and in some cases, it’s even getting multiple offers. Looking ahead, we’ll be watching how the federal government’s recent housing commitments translate into action. Policies aimed at increasing supply, improving affordability, and supporting first-time buyers are welcome steps toward meaningful impact here in Ottawa.”
