Ottawa Real Estate Market – September 2026 Statistics

OTTAWA, October 5, 2026

Ottawa home sales held near August levels in September, edging slightly higher rather than declining as they typically do at this point in the year. At the same time, new listings rose much more sharply than usual, giving buyers greater choice and shifting market conditions further in their favour.  Last month, weaker absorption was identified as one of the key signals to watch heading into the fall. That signal became more pronounced in September as the gap widened between the number of homes coming onto the market and the number selling. Whether that shift persists remains to be seen. New listings have declined in both October and November in each of the past 10 years, so the coming months will show whether September’s influx of listings recedes with the usual seasonal pattern or keeps inventory elevated for longer.
