Inventory continues to build, with active listings up to 3,578 (+10.3% YoY) and ~3.3 months of supply. We’re firmly in more balanced territory—buyers have options again, but well-priced homes are still moving.
March sales came in at 1,075, down 4.7% YoY and well below peak 2021 levels, but still holding relatively stable vs. the past couple years. Demand hasn’t disappeared… it’s just more selective now. #ottawa
Spring is approaching and CREA is forecasting gradual demand strengthening as borrowing costs ease.
This isn't a market to sit on the sidelines of — it's a market to prepare for.

Not all segments move the same. Know where you stand.
OTTAWA'S HOUSING BOOM: The Numbers Tell the Story - Total starts: 7,945 units (↑22% YoY) Rental construction: ~5,500 units (nearly DOUBLED) Ownership starts: ~2,445 units (down significantly)
We didn't just build more housing—we fundamentally changed WHAT we're building.
Despite 44% growth in total starts (2020→2025) and near-record construction levels, vacancy rates FELL to 1.7% and turnover rents jumped 5X the average.
Despite the supply pressure, pricing has held firm.
Both average and median prices continue their long-term upward trend from 2015–2025.
The short-term mood is cooler, but the decade-long trajectory remains strong.
Ottawa’s November 2025 market is telling a pretty clear story: supply is climbing faster than demand. 📈🏡
Sales-to-new-listings ratio sits at 60.4% (balanced), but active listings are up 31.3% YoY—and condos face 7.3 months of inventory.
Ottawa’s market has shifted. 📊 From a seller-dominated scene in past years, the Sales-to-New-Listings Ratio (SNLR) has cooled into balanced territory through 2025—hovering in the mid-40s. A healthier pace for both buyers & sellers. #OttawaRealEstate#SNLR#HousingMarket
