🏗️ Thinking about a brand-new home? This might be the best time in years.

New-home sales in Ottawa jumped about 55% from last year in August. Part of the reason: in Ontario, you can get the full 13% HST back on a new home up to $1M, up to $130,000. And it’s not just for first-time buyers. Deals must be signed by March 31, 2027.

New or resale? DM me and I’ll help you compare.

📊 Ottawa's market just shifted in buyers' favour 🏡

September brought a wave of new listings, with supply up 38% from August while sales dipped 6.6% year over year. That pushed inventory to 4.8 months, giving buyers more choice and more room to negotiate this fall.

Prices held fairly steady, with the average sale price at $685,640 (down just 1%). But the benchmark price saw its biggest August-to-September drop since 2005 👀

🏠 Detached homes: still the strongest segment
🏢 Condos: softest, with prices down 6.1% year over year

Ottawa's fall market just got a lot more breathing room 🍂🏡

September brought 1,010 home sales, 4,813 active listings, and 4.8 months of inventory — up from 4.5 in August, as new listings surged nearly 40% month over month.

Prices are holding up better than sales, with the average sale price at $685,640, just 1% off last September. Single-family homes remain the steadiest segment, while condos and townhomes are feeling the most pressure as supply keeps building.

The sales-to-listings ratio dropped to 34.5%, the clearest sign yet that buyers are gaining the upper hand this fall.

Thinking about making a move before the market shifts again? Let's talk.

Is Ottawa a buyer's market or a seller's market? 🤔 The honest answer is both.

In August, the average Ottawa home sold for about $688K, basically flat from last year. But sales dropped nearly 20%, and inventory hit its highest August level in 10 years. 📉

Here's what the headlines miss 👇
🏡 Under $700K: still a seller's market
⚖️ $700K to $1M: balanced
💰 Over $1M: buyer's market

The strategy for a $600K townhouse and a $1.2M home is completely different. Know which market you're in before you make a move.

The Fed just hiked. Canada's banks are split on 2027. RBC, CIBC & Scotiabank say rates rise. TD & BMO say hold. This debate = your future mortgage rate

Bank of Canada held rates at 2.25% last week — no surprise there 👀 But with tariffs and rising oil prices in the mix, next year could look different. Here's what it means for buyers and sellers 🏡👇

Ottawa's fall market is shifting gears 🍂🏡

August brought 1,002 home sales, 4,496 active listings, and 4.5 months of inventory — the highest August inventory level since 2016, giving buyers noticeably more breathing room.

Prices are holding steadier than sales, with the average sale price at $688,253. Single-family homes remain the most resilient segment, while townhomes and condos continue to soften as supply builds.

The big question heading into fall: is this a temporary pause, or the start of a longer slowdown?

If you're thinking about buying or selling this year, let's chat.

📉 Ottawa's active listings are dropping — but don't be fooled, it's not because homes are selling.

August sales fell 18.6% YoY (and 24% from July!) — a way bigger drop than normal. So why are listings shrinking too? Turns out a lot of sellers are cancelling or letting listings expire instead of selling. They're not cutting deals — they're stepping back and rethinking their plans.

Meanwhile, prices are holding steady (+1% YoY). So it's not a crash... it's a standoff. 👀

One month doesn't make a trend, but if you're thinking of buying or selling in Ottawa this fall, this is a shift worth watching.
