A Quieter September for Ottawa Real Estate š”
September didnāt bring the fall market boost many were anticipating. Sales were down 6.6% compared to last September and remained relatively unchanged from August.
At the same time, more listings came to market and overall inventory increased to 4.8 months, the highest level weāve seen in 10 years. Despite that added choice for buyers, prices remained fairly steady, with the average sale price down just 1% year over year.
For me, the biggest takeaway is that this is a market where patience, preparation, and good advice really matter. Whether youāre buying or selling, understanding whatās happening in your specific neighbourhood and price range is much more useful than simply following the headlines.
