Ottawa’s housing market continues to be strong and balanced as June’s numbers indicate. It is really a fair market for both Ottawa home buyers and sellers alike. This is indicated in a very reasonable “days on market” (the number of days from listing start until sold date). In Ottawa we have an average days on market that is holding […]

Just to give you an idea where my 2014 Ottawa HHT clients have purchased so far: Bridlewood (Kanata) Carlingwood (near Westboro) Morgans Grant (Kanata) Half […]

The move of DND to the Nortel campus has a green light. The review is over and it has been formally announced that upwards of 9,000 Ottawa Military members will be moving their place of employment to the old Nortel Campus in Bells Corners. The campus will, eventually, be renamed. The first wave (approx. 3,300 […]
