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 […]
Would you buy your house twice? Interesting story of regret and redemption. Home is afterall where the heart is. I was fortunate enough to meet Pat and Sylvie in 2016 when they relocated to Ottawa. After a few days of searching they purchased a beautiful bungalow on a quiet court. At the time the market […]
Over the past month, national headlines have been dominated by stories of market declines across some of Canada’s major cities—particularly in the condo sector. The good news? Ottawa continues to remain relatively insulated from those sharper downturns. That said, August brought a surge in new listings, pushing inventory to higher-than-usual levels for this time of […]
One of the best things about living in Ottawa is how quickly you can escape into nature. In less than an hour, you can swap the city for cliffside lookouts, peaceful forest trails, and even some pretty incredible ruins. Two of my go-to hikes are the Eagle’s Nest Lookout in Calabogie and the Carbide Willson […]
We recently took a trip to Portugal to explore the possibility of investing in real estate there. Our goal was to visit various cities and towns to get a sense of where we might want to retire in the future and advise our clients to look. Along the way, we met with several real estate […]
