Market Update, March 2016
Members of the Ottawa Real Estate Board sold 1,166 residential properties in March through the Board’s Multiple Listing Service® system, compared with 1,200 in March 2015, a decrease of 2.8%. The five-year average for March sales is 1,220. It is, though, a definite increase from the previous month sales – 256 more properties.
Properties are starting to sell more quickly, indicating we are heading into our busy spring market. In March, 3,203 homes were listed – up 38.6% since February.
The average sale price of a residential class property sold in March in the Ottawa area was $394,951, an increase of 2% over March, 2015. The average sale price for a condominium class property was $258,714, an increase of 2.4% over March, 2015. Canada’s capital continues to be a great place to buy and sell real estate!
Every neighbourhood has slight differences so please do give me a call if you are thinking of buying or selling – or know of somebody else who is. Referrals are very important to the success of my business so please do think of me when it comes to real estate.
