Spring market has finally sprung!

While sales continued at a sluggish pace for the first half of March 2026, the real estate market really kicked into gear in the second half of the month. Overall, sales in March were up 38 percent from February as Buyers enjoyed some warmer weather and got busy. Things were not quite as bullish as last year, as sales overall were down 5 percent from this March to last; but sales at Engel & Volkers really took off in the last two weeks of March.

With a strong pipeline of new listings expected to hit the market after Easter, we expect the market to heat up dramatically in April and May. The federal and Ontario governments just introduced a raft of financial incentives for new home Buyers.

If you would like to discuss whether these incentives make sense for you to make a move, please reach out for a free consultation.📲

SOLD! 🥂✨

A huge congratulations to my wonderful clients on the off-market sale of this absolute masterpiece.

Long admired in the neighbourhood, this home is the perfect marriage of "old-world charm" and modern luxury. From the arched hallways and quarter-sawn oak floors to the dramatic family room with its palladium window, every inch of this property tells a story.

To my sellers: thank you for trusting me with this beauty. It has been such a pleasure representing a home that has been so lovingly maintained and improved over the last 15 years. Watching this transition happen off-market and seamlessly is what it’s all about! 🏠❤️

Our Story

Nancy and Frank O’Dea have built their real estate business on the foundations of accountability, trust, and integrity. Their goals in serving the Ottawa luxury real estate market have been to provide bespoke, anticipatory services and to develop lifelong relationships with their clients. Now partnered with the unmatched marketing systems and international reach of Engel & Völkers Ottawa, the O’Dea Team is prepared to bring a new level of real estate service to the neighbourhoods and clients they serve. Contact them today for a personal real estate consultation.

Nancy O’Dea Nancy has been a successful Realtor in the world of luxury real estate in the nation’s capital since she began in real estate in 2005. Having practiced as a registered nurse in critical care for many years, Nancy earned a master's degree in counselling psychology; a degree that opened doors to an interesting career in the world of mental health and addictions, as well as working with the worried well in business. It was a perfect segue into the world of real estate for Nancy as the buying and selling experience can be an emotional roller coaster if not under skillful management. Nancy's careful attention to detail and her willingness to attend to and listen to her clients has assisted her in building a strong referral network and client base for life.

Frank O’Dea From "Street Kid to Biz Wiz," Frank O'Dea's career is a reminder for people to never give up. A charmed childhood in Montreal was no salvo for what was to come, but Frank did overcome and became a successful serial entrepreneur. As co-founder of one of Canada's first coffee chains, The Second Cup, he demonstrated his business ingenuity and went on to co-found ProShred Security, and to lead a variety of businesses as C.E.O and Chairman. He soon learned that his real calling was in giving back to his community and co-founded several not-for-profit organizations including The Canadian Landmine Foundation. His avocational work was recognized when Frank became an Officer in the Order of Canada, one of the highest civilian honours in the country. Frank has also been awarded Rotary International's prestigious Paul Harris award four times. In his third chapter, Frank is keenly focused on the world of real estate and is excited to be joining his wife Nancy O'Dea to chart a new course in the world of real estate.
