January 2023 Real Estate Newsletter

Thursday Jan 12th, 2023

  Happy New Year to All! 2023 is off to a slow start as total sales and sold prices continue to drop. Mortgage rates will remain high for the foreseeable future. There is an abundance of inventory for sale and for rent. The median sold price vs original list price for December was approximately 90%. January so far has an 88% sold to list price ratio. My thoughts? I think the next 2-3 months will be slow moving until we get to the spring market. In the meantime, if you are looking to... [read more]

February 2023 Real Estate Newsletter

  The Ottawa Real Estate Market continues to slow down as we enter a “balanced” market. I have noticed a large amount of rental listings on the market. The new vacant unit tax has forced owners of vacant properties to rush to get their units leased before the deadline. Will people lean towards a lease or purchase a home with a high interest mortgage? The average townhouse in the suburb’s rents for approximately $2200-$2400 a month. If you were to purchase that...

The spring market is in full swing! Home sales have begun to pickup as buyers are getting back into the market.

Interest rates are remaining stable for now and many banks and lenders are offering 4.5% on average for a 5-year fixed mortgage.  More listings on MLS are popping up with offer hold outs again, with many selling over asking. Will we return to a... [read more]

June 2023 Real Estate Newsletter

The month of May saw an increase in sales for the first time since February 2022. I noticed a lot more activity across the board from condos to singles, many of which were selling in a few days. Offer hold outs are becoming more common again and some homes are selling over list price. Rental transactions have also increased by 22% compared to the previous year. The new rate hike announced on June 7th might slow the market down moving forward, however, it is too early to tell. If you are looking... [read more]
