OTTAWA MARKET UPDATE FOR AUGUST 2018

Posted on: September 6th, 2018 by Chris Scott

The Ottawa summer real estate market was busier than normal. No surprise to see strong August numbers coming through from the Ottawa real estate board. I think this trend will continue in the fall months ahead. The city continues to have low inventory which has put an upward pressure on prices. Even with the rising prices by all economists measures we still do live in a relatively affordable city. I am not sure how much longer I will be able to say that. A couple years at the most I believe. People are catching on to just how great Ottawa is.

The 300k to 450k price range in residential properties remains to be the most active price point. The condo market continues to be a great story. Sales are up over last year over 10%. The condo market continues to fill in the gap as we deal with the low residential inventory

  Over the years, with multiple military moves, we’ve had the opportunity to work with many real estate agents, and we can confidently say that not all are created equal. Chris, by far, has been the most trustworthy and easiest real estate agent we’ve had the pleasure to work with.

  Colin has been the best realtor to work with and helped us buy a great house in the perfect neighborhood. Colin and the rest of the team at Chris Scott were incredibly helpful the whole way and always available to answer questions, show us houses at a time that was convenient for us and were just generally professional and friendly during the whole process. We will recommend Colin and the team to our friends and family.

  I was a co-Executrix of an estate, and we had a condo that we had to sell for the estate.  In order to get the property ready for sale, we had to have the over 5,000 square foot condo painted and the carpets replaced.  Since the property was empty, Chris recommended a home stager that he uses on properties that require these services, and she did a fantastic job of staging the condo. It took the condo to the next level. The condo sold for a phenomenal price, and we were very happy with Chris Scott and his abilities.  He always gives over 100 percent to get the job done!  I recommend him to anyone that requires the services of a great real estate agent.

  We worked with Rachel and she was beyond diligent. She is so organised and meticulous with details, it really helps when buying a home. She even agreed to do a virtual walk through for the home we ended up buying because we weren’t going to get there ourselves prior to offers being reviewed. She was also great with recommending areas to consider and avoid. Highly recommend.

  Rachel was amazing. She helped me find the perfect home for me and my son during a challenging time in my life. She was extremely patient and empathetic, professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her. No one will work harder for you than Rachel.

  My husband and I purchased a house in the surrounding Ottawa area with the assistance of Colin from this group of individuals. We unfortunately were left with no choice but to purchase a home sight unseen due to our work circumstances. We originally considered not purchasing because of this.
We deliberated and chose to purchase a home after participating in FaceTime showings and we could not have been more satisfied. Colin was objective, professional, calm, informative, and realistic. He listened to our needs and helped us choose our home. The fact that we were pleasantly surprised, and a year later remain pleased as punch, says everything about how talented this company is. Will, without a doubt, use this company when we leave Ottawa.

  We worked with Chris to find a home back in 2011 that would suit our desire to be close to work. He was nothing but professional and courteous! Listening to our needs and showing us what we were looking for. Years later, when we thought about down sizing and finding a renovated home, he took us around to see some in the neighborhood. He always open to helping us out in our searches
