Three useful lenses

The same market can mean different things.

For buyers

Ottawa’s inventory increased in September, with apartments softer than single-family homes. Compare the neighbourhood and property type before deciding how much negotiating room you have.

Test my buying range

For sellers

September average and benchmark prices were both below last year. Apartment inventory was 7.3 months versus 4.4 for single-family homes; price against your own segment.

Estimate my sale proceeds

For watchers

Ottawa’s average price was nearly unchanged from August, while the benchmark fell 2.2%. Inventory increased and apartments showed more pricing pressure than single-family homes.
