How can you make your home stand out amongst the competition in today’s Ottawa market? A clean and well staged home is vital to your home sale success. Have buyers walk out of homes due to cleanliness? Indeed they have! They equate cleanliness with a lack of overall maintenance and pride of ownership. It’s a deal breaker. 📍

Ottawa real estate can feel completely out of reach right now for many buyers. But the truth is there are still smart value pockets if you know where to look.

Areas like Orléans, Barrhaven, Casselman and Limoges are still offering buyers better entry prices compared with central neighbourhoods like The Glebe or Westboro.

The key isn’t chasing the hottest neighbourhood — it’s finding the next one that’s improving before everyone else notices.

Ottawa might feel expensive, but opportunity hasn’t disappeared — it’s just shifted. Reach me direct at 613.890.2975 or www.deidrevanleyen.com

Are you planning home renovations with a pet? Home renovations can be disruptive for our furry friends. Hammering, smashing and moving furniture can be difficult on them. My previous dogs adapted. My poodle seems to have a strong opinion on noises and music during Reno’s. Blankets, treats and mostly reassuring cuddles throughout the day are imperative …works wonders.

🏡Has your home been on the market 70+ days? 📆What could this mean? What other factors may be at play? What does “DOM” represent in the Multiple Listing Service? In short, DOM refers to Average Days on Market, which represents how long an average listing remains on the market before selling. 📉A low DOM means it sold quickly, while a high DOM could mean it’s overpriced or less in demand. Other factors to consider are the economy, interest rates, overall general affordability 💸and a balancing of the market. ⚖️One thing is for certain we are NOT in a sellers market any longer, with balancing taking place it’s vital that your home be priced correctly and realistically. If it’s sitting, perhaps the listed price doesn’t reflect your local market sales, outdated features, overall curb appeal. Speak to your Realtor and discuss options that can help you with a new strategy and get your home sold! 👍
