The May weather was steamy and the May real estate market just as hot. The Ottawa resale market continued its steady pace upwards, continuing an above-average trend for the month of May.
Members of the Ottawa Real Estate Board sold 1,921 residential properties in May through the Board’s Multiple Listing Service® system, compared with similar sales of 1,926 in May 2015. The five-year average for May sales is 1,864. In May, 3,635 homes were listed. Ottawa is riding a strong and steady spring market.

The average sale price of a residential-class property sold in May in the Ottawa area was $406,063, an increase of 0.6 per cent over May 2015. The average sale price for a condominium-class property was $264,801, an increase of 1.5 per cent over May 2015. Residential two-storey and bungalow homes had the highest concentration of Buyers in May.

If you are thinking of buying or selling, or know of somebody who is, please give me a call. I am always happy to help. Don’t forget those referrals – they are so important to the success of my business and I appreciate every one of them.
