The Ottawa real estate market is still pretty hot, especially considering the time of year. Many Ottawa home buyers are looking to purchase before the new mortgage rules are implemented in January. Prices are up again over last year. Our average price for a residential-class property was up 3.2% over last November, sitting at $418,354. […]

I believe many Ottawa home buyers over the upcoming 5-10 years will be looking for homes with in-law suites.
