The Canadian Real Estate Association’s January 2026 Housing Update gives us a helpful snapshot of where the housing market is heading both nationally and here in Ottawa. While headlines often lean toward uncertainty, the data itself tells a more balanced story. For buyers, sellers, and anyone planning a move this year, there’s a lot of […]
One of the main reasons I wanted to start The Chris Scott Show was simple: I always felt like I had more to say. Our monthly market videos are great, but Ottawa real estate isn’t something you can properly explain in 60 seconds. There’s context, nuance, and a lot happening under the surface. For the […]
Here’s the latest update in our Suburban Statistics Series, featuring insights on the five largest urban neighborhoods in Ottawa. With Ottawa’s spread-out layout, it’s always fascinating to see how each area’s market trends vary. These stats compare MLS OREB sales from January 1 to December 31, 2025, with the same period in 2024.
Selling a home is never a small task, and doing it while deployed overseas adds an entirely different layer. We recently helped one of our military clients sell her condo on Pinhey Street while she was serving abroad, and it’s a great example of how the right systems, preparation, and experience can make distance a […]
The shift has been slow and steady, but November really highlighted where things are heading. Ottawa is still technically sitting in a balanced market, yet different segments are starting to move in very different directions — and some are shifting quickly. Condo apartments, for example, have climbed to seven months of inventory, a notable […]
This year marked a milestone for our team: the 10th anniversary of our annual Santa Party. What started as a simple idea — inviting a few clients into our office lobby for photos with Santa — has grown into one of our favourite traditions and a meaningful way to celebrate the people who have […]
There’s some real opportunity out there right now in the Ottawa real estate market. We’re seeing sellers making big price adjustments, and that’s creating some great buys — even a few that could make sense for investors or anyone looking to renovate and resell. It’s been years since we’ve seen that kind of window open […]
It’s incredibly disappointing to see Clublink move forward with closing the Kanata Golf & Country Club in favour of development. For decades, this course has been a defining part of the Kanata Lakes community — not just a patch of green space, but a promise. A promise that helped shape home values, neighbourhood identity, and […]
Our team helps with many HHTs each year, and each one is a little different from the rest. In one case this year, Colin and Chris first spoke with the relocating members in March after they were referred by a past relocation client. At that stage they were not familiar with Ottawa Relocations and were […]
September’s numbers tell an interesting story — we actually saw more sales than last year, which might surprise some people given the headlines. But what really stood out was the jump in new listings, up about 20% year-over-year. That surge has pushed our inventory levels to around four months of supply, the highest we’ve seen […]
