OTTAWA MARKET UPDATE: NOVEMBER 2020
This is the time of year that we usually see a pretty big slowdown in our real estate market. The recent statistics from the Ottawa real estate board suggest that will not be the case this year. The demand is still extremely high for Ottawa real estate. There are so many buyers who are still out there waiting for the right property to become available. These buyers are starting to see more options.
New listings were up by 400 when compared with November of last year. This is 3-4 months of more inventory when compared with last year. A continuation of this trend may lead to a more balanced market in the 2nd quarter of next year. The prices will stabilize as a result. It has been an amazing run in that department. Prices are up over 20% in the residential class segment with Ottawa prices averaging $602,892 in 2020. Ottawa condos are up 19%. The trajectory of this market is a direct result of the severely depleted housing inventory we experienced in the first half of the year.
There has been an influx in the condo market listings as of late. We have 25% more listing in that segment available right now when compared with November of last year. This is leading to more time on the market for condo sellers. This is an interesting trend to watch.
