Ottawa’s July market remained steady as we moved into the summer season.

- 1,325 homes sold, up 0.2% from July 2025.
- Average sale price: $683,308.
- Median sale price: $635,000.
- Sales-to-new-listings ratio: 52.4%.

Single-family homes continue to show the most stability, while townhomes and apartments remain more sensitive to increased supply.

For buyers, there’s choice. For sellers, accurate pricing and strong preparation are essential.

Thinking about making a move? Let’s talk about what the current market means for you.

But what if these aren't just summer annoyances?

They can be clues about how your home is performing and sometimes about what it needs.

I put together a new article about the little things worth paying attention to around your home this summer, from pests and drainage to heat, trees and those small maintenance issues that are easy to overlook.

And there's a bigger question at the end:

Is your home still working for the way you live?
