🔎 What Changed?

🏠 Sales remained stable

Ottawa recorded 1,325 home sales in July 2026, compared with 1,323 in July 2025 — an increase of just 0.2%.

📦 More homes are available

Active listings increased 9.3%, from 4,280 to 4,678.

At the same time, new listings were slightly lower, falling 0.8% from 2,550 to 2,530.

💰 Median price was unchanged

The median Ottawa home price remained exactly $635,000 in both July 2025 and July 2026. The average sale price, however, declined 1.6%, from approximately $694,000 to $683,308.

📍 What This Means for Ottawa Buyers & Sellers

For buyers: 🛒 More active listings mean more choice compared with July 2025.

For sellers: 🎯 Accurate pricing and strong presentation remain important, with homes taking a median of 28 days to sell compared with 24 days last year.

Bottom line: Ottawa's July 2026 market was stable overall, but conditions varied significantly by property type and location. The median price was unchanged, sales were virtually flat, and inventory was higher than a year ago.
