Is Ottawa actually a good place to live? 🏡🍁

As an Ottawa realtor, here’s my honest take.

✅ Family-friendly neighbourhoods
✅ Beautiful parks, trails, and outdoor activities
✅ Great mix of urban and suburban living
✅ A quieter pace than some of Canada’s biggest cities

BUT…

❄️ Our winters are no joke.
🚗 Some commutes can take longer than you’d expect.
💰 And finding the right home for your budget takes a plan.

The truth? Ottawa isn’t perfect for everyone — but for the right person, it can be an incredible place to call home.

And here’s my biggest piece of realtor advice: Don’t just choose a house. Choose a lifestyle.

The right neighbourhood can make all the difference.

📍 Thinking about moving to Ottawa? Comment “OTTAWA” or send me a DM. I’ll help you find a neighbourhood that fits your lifestyle and budget.

POV: You live in Ottawa… and it’s officially fall. 🍂

🍎 Apple picking
☕ Pumpkin spice everything
🍁 Gatineau Park leaf-peeping
🎃 Pumpkin patches
🥵 Sweating by 2 PM
🍂 Curb appeal is everything
🏡 And every realtor in Ottawa suddenly starts posting:
“Fall is the perfect time to buy!” 😂

Ottawa in the fall: 10/10.
Ottawa winter: We’ll discuss that later.

Tell me you live in Ottawa without telling me you live in Ottawa. 🍁

Ottawa locals — what did I miss? 👇

🍎 Thanks a bushel! 🍎

What a beautiful day spent celebrating some of the people who make what I do so special. ❤️

Thank you to every client, friends and family who has trusted me, supported my business, referred me to your friends and family, and continues to cheer me on.

I’m so grateful for this little real estate family we’ve built. 🏡🍂

From my family to yours — thank you for being part of the journey. I truly wouldn’t be here without you!

And a special thank you to AppleStock Orchard 🍎

More inventory = more choices. And that can be a very good thing for buyers. 👀

If I were buying in Ottawa this fall, I wouldn’t be rushing to make an offer just because a home looks good online.

I’d be looking at days on market, recent price changes, comparable sales, competition and the neighbourhood before deciding what the property is actually worth to me.

The goal isn’t to “win” the market.

It’s to buy the right home at the right price for your situation.

🍂 Thinking about buying in Ottawa this fall?

Send me FALL and I’ll help you figure out where to start.

Dear Ottawa Summer,

I’m not ready to let you go.

One more patio dinner.
One more sunset by the river.
One more ice cream run.
One more “let’s stay out a little longer.”

Soon, the leaves will change and routines will return.

But for now, let’s soak up every last golden evening. 🌅

Ottawa summers are short. Let’s make the most of them.

My oldest is starting school this year (cue the tears🥹). I will be certainly going through the motions! Any tips and tricks are welcome!! 🤍

GODSPEED!

1️⃣ The annual Costco run — because apparently one pack of pencils is never enough.

2️⃣Buying school supplies at the last possible minute — even though the list came out in June.

3️⃣The “let’s just go for one thing” trip to Staples… $147 later. 🫠

4️⃣The first-day-of-school photo — same spot, same pose, completely different kid. 🥹

5️⃣The weather panic.
“Do they need a hoodie?”
“Is it still summer?”
“Why is it 12°C?!”

6️⃣The lunchbox negotiation.
“What do you actually want?”
“I don’t know.”
“You chose it yesterday.”
“I don’t like it anymore.”

7️⃣The Ottawa traffic reality check 🚗
School drop-off + construction + Bank Street = character building.

8️⃣The first pumpkin spice sighting ☕🍂
Because in Ottawa, back-to-school basically means fall is coming.

9️⃣The neighbourhood playground reunion — suddenly everyone knows who goes to which school.

🔟Promising this year will be more organized.
Labelled everything. Packed lunches the night before. Out the door on time.

…until September 12. 😂

Ottawa parents, what did I miss? 👇

➡️ There isn’t one Ottawa market.

✨ Your neighbourhood, price point and property type matter.

📣 So don’t make a buying or selling decision based on a headline.

💯Get the numbers for your market.

📲 DM me MARKET and I’ll show you what’s actually happening in your neighbourhood.

05/16/2026

The market has stabilized! Here’s what you need to know before you sign:

📈 Current Trends
• Balance is back: More inventory means less “bidding war” stress.
• Steady Growth: Family homes are up ~1.3%—stability over speculation.
• Seasonality: The Spring market is peak; expect more choices right now!

🤝 Offer Strategies
• Keep Conditions: Inspection and financing clauses are standard again. Don’t skip them!
• Negotiate: If a house sits for 14+ days, there’s room to talk price.
• Flex on Dates: A closing date that fits the seller’s move can be more valuable than a higher price.

💸 Hidden Costs
• Land Transfer Tax: Budget ~$9,700 for an average home (minus the $4k rebate for first-timers).
• Tax Hikes: Ottawa property taxes rose ~3.75% this year.
• Utility Buffers: Budget an extra 5% for water and heating vs. last year.

Pro Tip: A $600 home inspection is the best $15,000 you’ll ever save. 🛡️

Happy closing day to this beautiful story 🫶

It wasn’t a flashy sale or one driven by big marketing. It was a home filled with heart, meaning, and years of memories ✨

This is the part of my “job” I love the most. Guiding and helping people through such big transitions in their life. Every deal can feel complex in today’s market, but this one was meaningful in a quieter, more personal way 🤍
