Good Day:
As I indicated in previous reports the market is undertaking a significant shift. Across the Ottawa Board sales are down 33% from last September.
In the towns below you can see the numbers sold and the per cent change. I have been doing this for over 20 years and for me the most significant number is not the average price, but the volume of sales. Average price is just that, the average of the highest and lowest sales. In smaller communities it can easily be distorted if a couple of expensive homes sell.
Ottawa is a relatively stable market, and we don’t see huge price drops such as in Toronto. However. We do see more homes taking longer to sell, often a lot longer if they are not in great condition. More homes on the market means buyers have more choice.
The other number that is important is the type of market. Once again though in small towns/markets the numbers can be distorted by the low volume of sales.
Seller’s Market: 1-3 months of home inventory on the market
Balanced: 4-6 months of inventory
Buyer’s Market: 6+ months of inventory
