Happy December & Holidays!
Happy December! It is a busy time of year and we are all looking forward to the Holidays!
The market is changing in Ottawa, more supply of homes available which seems to be the trend in Ontario. Market time to sell is presently a little longer. List price is important and should reflect recent comparable sales. Royal LePage’s 2026 Market Survey forecasts the aggregate price of a home in Canada to increase 1.0% year over year by the fourth quarter of 2026. For Ottawa the aggregate price of a home is forecasted to increase 2.0% to $788,970.
Overall in November our real estate market in Ottawa largely remained balanced, but supply has grown differently across types of homes. Most notably months of inventory for apartments has risen to 7.3 months compared to the overall 4.2 months for Ottawa. There were 3,721 properties (all housing types) on the market at the end of November, an decrease of 12% when compared to October 2025 but still 31.3% higher year over year. The average price for all sold properties in November in Ottawa was $680,496, an increase of 2.2% from last year but down approximatley 4% from October 2025.
