Ottawa Market Update for January 2012

Posted on: February 8th, 2012 by Chris Scott

The Ottawa Resale Housing Market had a fairly typical January although inventory of homes for sale is higher than a year ago, offering more choice for buyers. 

Members of the Ottawa Real Estate Board sold 684 residential properties in January through the Board’s Multiple Listing Service® system compared with 677 in January, 2011, an increase of 1%. The five-year average for January sales is 652. Of those sales, 138 were condominiums while 546 were in the residential property class. 

The average sale price of residential properties, including condominiums, sold in January in the Ottawa area was $349,415, an increase of 5.6 per cent over January 2011. The average sale price for a condominium-class property was $253,210, an increase of 6.8 per cent over January 2011. The average sale price of a residential-class property was $373,731, an increase of 5.5 per cent over January 2011.

Since prices vary by area, if you are interested in knowing what your home is currently worth on the Ottawa Market, please give me a call.  And, as always, referrals are key to my business success!
