Ottawa Real Estate Market – August 2026 Statistics

OTTAWA, September 3, 2026

Ottawa’s housing market lost momentum in August. Sales declined sharply both year over year and from the previous month, reversing July’s incremental improvement and widening the year-to-date gap compared with 2025. The slowdown was not driven by a new influx of supply. New listings and active listings both declined from July, but sales fell much faster, weakening the relationship between available supply and demand. Listing activity also suggests that some sellers may be pausing or reassessing their plans, rather than proceeding under current conditions. Months of inventory rose to its highest August level since 2016.
