SOLD ✨ And just like that… dreams secured. 🏡🔑
A huge congratulations to my sellers and buyers on this one! 🤍
In a market where roughly half of the homes coming to market aren’t finding a buyer in the same period, navigating Ottawa real estate has never required more strategy to getting a property SOLD — while also helping buyers successfully secure their next home — takes strategy, patience, and a whole lot of navigating the unknown.
According to the Ottawa Real Estate Board:
* May 2026: 3,351 new listings / 1,616 sales → 48.2% sales-to-new-listings ratio
* June 2026: ratio was 48.8%
* 2026 YTD through May: 44.4%
* Ottawa is currently sitting around 3.0–3.5 months of inventory, depending on the month.
So, roughly 4.5–5 out of every 10 new listings are being absorbed by a sale, using the sales-to-new-listings ratio.
However, there’s an important distinction: this does NOT literally mean that exactly 48% of the individual homes listed in May sold. A listing can sell from inventory carried over from a previous month, and some new listings won’t sell during that same month.
The Ottawa real estate market has been anything but straightforward. Buyers and sellers are facing more uncertainty, shifting expectations, pricing challenges, and mixed signals than ever before. Knowing when to push, when to negotiate, when to hold, and when to pivot can make all the difference.
For my sellers, it was about creating the right strategy to stand out and ultimately get the deal across the finish line.
For my buyers, it was about finding the right opportunity and securing their dream home / first home in a market where the right property can still move quickly.
Real estate isn’t just about putting a sign in the yard or sending listings to your inbox. It’s about having someone in your corner who knows how to navigate the market when things aren’t predictable.
Congratulations to everyone involved! 🥂
Thank you for trusting me with such an important chapter. 🤍
Sold. Secured. Home. 🔑
