This time of year typically brings a slower pace to the market, but it can also create opportunities on great properties that may have been overlooked during the spring rush.

Watch our August Market Update in full to see where we think those opportunities are. Link in bio.

1-2-3… This month’s update is ready

Oli and Emma, on the other hand, are still a work in progress.

Ottawa’s real estate market stayed relatively balanced in July—but the city’s record-setting Canada Day storm exposed a much bigger problem.

In this month’s Ottawa Real Estate Market Update, we break down the latest freehold and condo sales, prices and inventory, and explain why thousands of flooded homeowners are now discovering major gaps in their home insurance coverage.

Are you actually protected against overland flooding, groundwater infiltration and sewer backup?

Watch before the next storm hits. Link in bio.

Every space elevated. Every detail considered. Every window a reminder of just how rare this home truly is.

Because the best homes do more than impress us.

They make us feel something.

Make Every Moment Iconic.

Congratulations to Z&A on the sale of your condo!

Selling a condo in today’s market is no small feat. Buyer demand has been soft, and many owners who purchased in the last few years are finding themselves in the difficult position of selling for less than they paid. To make things even more challenging, when we launched, there were four units with this exact floor plan on the market in the building… and ours was on the lowest floor.

After carefully weighing every option, including holding onto the property as a rental, we came to the conclusion that selling was the right move. These decisions are never easy, but sometimes the cost of waiting outweighs the cost of moving forward.

From there, it was time to execute. We put together an aggressive marketing strategy designed to make this unit stand out from the competition. A few weeks later, that strategy paid off with a firm sale and a quick closing.

Z&A, thank you again for trusting us to help guide you through such a challenging decision. I know this wasn’t the outcome anyone would have hoped for when you bought the condo, but you approached every step with patience, perspective, and confidence. Wishing you both all the best in whatever comes next. ❤️

Smart money has a plan before it buys.

Dumb money buys first and figures it out later.

That difference matters, especially in real estate investing.

We talk about this stuff every month at our Real Estate Investor Meetup, held on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at Tooth and Nail Brewery in Hintonburg.

Casual conversations, practical insight, no fluff.

Come hang.

Coming in hot with this month’s market update.

Ottawa’s June real estate numbers are in, and freehold prices are pushing into rare territory.

Condos, on the other hand, are telling a very different story.

We break down what the stats are saying, then we get into the $1.45B question:

Are the Federal and BC governments making a smart housing move…

or placing one very expensive condo bet?

A little overdue, a lot grateful.

Over the last few months, I’ve had the privilege of helping some truly wonderful people buy and sell homes across Ottawa. Normally, each one of these moments would get its own post, its own story, and its own proper thank-you.

But somewhere between showings, offers, inspections, staging, keys, moving boxes, and pretending I had my inbox under control… I fell a little behind.

So consider this one big, slightly overdue celebration of some really wonderful clients and some very meaningful milestones.

To each of you: thank you for your trust, your patience, your humour, your referrals, your texts, your calls, your big decisions, and your willingness to let me be part of such an important chapter.

Every transaction is different. Some are smooth, some are complicated, some are emotional, and some require a few deep breaths along the way. But the common thread is always the people.

And I’m very, very grateful mine are this good.

Congratulations to all of my amazing clients. I may be late posting about it, but I promise the appreciation is right on time.
