July was a strong month for Ottawa real estate.

We saw 1,325 homes sold across the Ottawa market in July.

Yes, sales were down about 12% from June BUT, that’s actually a stronger result than it might sound.

Over the past decade, the typical June-to-July drop has been around 20%, meaning July’s activity held up surprisingly well.

It felt more like a late-spring market carrying into summer than a typical summer slowdown.

And the numbers get even more interesting when we look at property types:

Single-family homes: +5% year-over-year, with 714 sales

Townhomes: 417 sales, down 4.1%

Apartments/condos: 169 sales, down 6.6%, the largest decline among the major property types

The distribution of sales is telling us something important: Ottawa’s market isn’t moving as one market.

Single-family homes are showing more resilience, while the apartment/condo segment continues to face softer conditions.

Overall, though?

July was a resilient month for Ottawa real estate.

The question now is whether that momentum carries into the fall.

Buying a home? Don't forget to budget for more than just the down payment.

Many buyers are surprised by additional costs that come with purchasing a home, including:

✔️ Home inspection
✔️ Legal fees
✔️ Land transfer tax (where applicable)
✔️ Moving expenses
✔️ Utility setup
✔️ Immediate repairs or upgrades

Planning ahead helps make your move less stressful.

Ottawa Real Estate Inventory Update: Where Is the Market Strongest?

Not all segments of the Ottawa real estate market are moving the same way.

Here’s what the current inventory levels are showing:

Single-family homes:

With approximately 2.8 months of inventory, this remains the strongest segment of the market with more competition among buyers.

Semi-detached homes & townhomes

At around 3.2 months of inventory, this segment continues to show a healthy and active market.

Apartment condos

With approximately 5.3 months of inventory, this is currently the softest segment, giving buyers more options and potentially more room to negotiate.

Where are sales happening?

The majority of Ottawa’s real estate activity continues to be in the suburbs, which account for roughly 70% of sales.Central Ottawa represents about 10%, while rural areas make up the remaining 20%.

The takeaway?

The Ottawa market isn’t one-size-fits-all. Conditions can vary significantly depending on the property type and location.

Ottawa Real Estate Market: A Closer Look at Property Types

✔️ Nearly 900 single-family homes sold
✔️ Just over 400 semi-detached homes and townhomes sold

Single-family homes continue to lead the market, with strong buyer demand helping prices remain steady.

Real estate is about more than buying or selling a home.

It's about trust.

It's about having someone in your corner who will give you the full picture, not just the parts that sound good.

Every client I work with comes in with questions, uncertainty, and a decision that feels bigger than it should.

My job is to make sure they leave with clarity, confidence, and a plan they actually believe in.

Thank you to Daniel for trusting me with his home purchase and his kind words.
