Market Update, August 2016

Posted on: September 12th, 2016 by Chris Scott

This has been the best August on record EVER for Ottawa Real Estate Board members, blowing the average for August sales out of the water. There were 1,484 residential properties sold in August through the Board’s Multiple Listing Service ® compared with 1,276 in August 2015 – an increase of 16.3%. The five-year average for August sales is 1,265.

Average sale prices have been steady all year. The average sale price of a residential class property sold in August in the Ottawa area was $389,786 – an increase of 2.5% over August, 2015. The average sale price for a condominium-class property was $272,166 – an increase of 11.1% over August, 2015. Six more properties in the $1 million+ range were sold last month which could account for the bump in average sale prices.

Since each area is slightly different, I hope you will call on me if you are thinking of buying or selling. I am always happy to help.

Chris worked with me and my wife to find our “dream home” for over two years. We certainly weren’t easy clients... we were interested in Westboro, Manotick and Stittsville, and at one point switched gears to cottages! Chris remained so incredibly patient with us, full of information about the neighborhoods we were looking in, and had so much great advice about the process as a whole. He impressed us in negotiations too, and as a result of new information that came to light in the final hour, he recommended a last minute slight increase in our offer that (we would find out after) wound up being the difference between us losing the bidding war or securing the precise home we has been looking for. We had an amazing experience working with Chris and his team. I highly recommend Chris to anyone that wants a realtor with a passion for real estate and a drive to find the perfect home for his clients. It has been a few months since we closed on our house and, now that we are settled in, we find ourselves toasting Chris Scott Homes all the time! Thanks again!

My wife and I worked with Chris for weeks in preparation for our house hunting trip (military move). He was quick to adjust to our search parameter changes so we felt well prepared for our house hunting week. Partly due to that preparation, we were able to make a successful offer on day 1. Chris was instrumental in helping us with the offer but also in assisting us getting ready for the move. This has been our easiest move so far thanks to him. We strongly recommend the Chris Scott team to anyone looking to buy a house in the Ottawa area.

Chris has been excellent to work with both times I've been looking for a home.I worked with Chris most recently when my wife and I were looking to purchase our first home together. Chris was a great listener, patient and provided excellent advice and expertise through every step of the transaction and made the entire process of selling my condo and finding/buying a home a great experience. We've been in our home for almost five years now and we couldn't be happier!

We moved to Ottawa from Colorado in 2017 and Chris had been recommended to us. He did an excellent job of setting up viewings and showing us around. Having Chris as your real estate broker doesn't end their though, he sends Birthday cards, Xmas cards and even drops off pumpkins. The follow on customer service from Chris and his team is really appreciated.

During our House Hunting Trip (Military term) our agent Colin had our showings booked as we requested shortly after arriving in the area. He had a well laid out schedule for the showings right from day one. He kept good notes on our comments from each showing which was very helpful. Colin made us feel comfortable and he understood the type of home we were looking for and stayed within our budget. He made sure the house inspections were booked which was very convenient for us. Thank you Colin we really enjoyed doing business with you and the Chris Scott Realty team.

Chris sold our home in 2018 & hands down is the best real estate agent we have ever worked with. My husband and I are both in commercial real estate but still decided to use Chris & his team due to their wide market knowledge and extreme success rate. Chris was successful at selling our home quickly and at the price we wanted. This team is not only highly capable, but also extremely communicative and very professional. We will use Chris & his team again & again - we couldn’t have been more impressed!

This year we sold our Ottawa house utilizing the services of Chris & his team. We were very pleased with the professional service provided. Chris executed an excellent marketing strategy to best showcase our house. On-going communication kept us in the loop at all times. Great job! So good in fact that our daughter/son-in-law were also so impressed that they engaged Chris & his team to sell their Ottawa Condo. Both properties sold to our satisfaction. We all fully recommend Chris & his team to sell your home.

Chris was very accommodating to us throughout our long process of finding a house in Ottawa! His patience, professionalism, and reassurance kept us confident that we'd find a place after 7 unsuccessful offers. I'm very glad we had Chris to navigate us through the Ottawa real estate market. Thanks Chris!
