Ottawa Real Estate News Release (OREB)
Resale Market’s Adjustment and Correction Continues

November 4, 2022 by Claude Jobin

OTTAWA, November 3, 2022 –  Members of the Ottawa Real Estate Board sold 987 residential properties in October through the Board’s Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) System, compared with 1,670 in October 2021, a decrease of 41%. October’s sales included 758 in the residential-property class, down 40% from a year ago, and 229 in the condominium-property category, a decrease of 44% from October 2021. The five-year average for total unit sales in October is 1,554.

“After the volatility of the past two pandemic years, which was unsustainable, the market is correcting and adjusting,” says Penny Torontow, Ottawa Real Estate Board President. “The slowdown is compounded by Bank of Canada interest rate increases, which further exacerbates buyer hesitancy and weakens people’s purchasing power—especially first-time homebuyers.”

“Demand is still high, and with increasing inventory available, Buyers have more choices and time to shop for their new home. However, the ongoing speculation about where prices and interest rates are headed shakes consumer confidence and has made some prospective Buyers take a wait-and-see approach.”

“Sellers may be understandably concerned about market fluctuations, which have been more drastic lately,” she adds. “As with any major investment, a longer-term perspective is important. The significant year-over-year gains of the last two years were not sustainable. If you have owned your property for any length of time, your equity has increased significantly and will buffer price corrections. If you buy and sell in the same market, it is all relative.”

By the Numbers – Inventory & New Listings:

  • Months of Inventory for the residential-class properties has increased to 3.3 months from 1 month in 2021.
  • Months of Inventory for condominium-class properties has increased to 3 months from 1.2 months in 2021.
  • October’s new listings (2,047) were 4% higher than 2021 (1,960) and down 14% from September 2022 (2,371). The 5-year average for new listings in October is 1,971.
“Buyers and Sellers need to carefully analyze their own unique circumstances. No one can predict with absolute certainty what will happen next year, but in the highly employed and stable Ottawa market, real estate has been and continues to be a good investment over time,” says Torontow. “They don’t have a crystal ball, but mortgage brokers and REALTORS® have the education, expertise—and most importantly, the data—to help people make an informed decision for their specific situation.”

By the Numbers – Average Prices*:

  • The average sale price for a condominium-class property in October was $445,691, an increase of 9% from 2021.
  • The average sale price for a residential-class property was $677,873, decreasing 5% from a year ago.
  • With year-to-date average sale prices at $780,390 for residential units and $456,470 for condominiums, these values represent an 8% increase over 2021 for residential-class properties and a 9% increase for condominium-class properties.
REALTORS® also help with finding rentals and vetting potential tenants. Since the beginning of the year, OREB Members have assisted clients with renting 5,186 properties compared to 4,012 last year at this time.

* OREB cautions that the average sale price can be useful in establishing trends over time but should not be used as an indicator that specific properties have increased or decreased in value. The calculation of the average sale price is based on the total dollar volume of all properties sold. Price will vary from neighbourhood to neighbourhood.

Thanks!

For being customizable! Julie

Claude and Molly are truly amazing!

I live very far out of town and needed an Ottawa real estate agent after my father died.

I picked them after looking online.

Well I picked the right ones! They were and are extraordinary. Because I live so far away our family needs for cleaning the house out and getting it ready to sell were huge, and to me, insurmountable.

I couldn’t have done it without them, and to top this off, they are friendly and just great people. Thank you so much Claude and Molly.

All the best, Rachel

You’re fantastic!

Allan

A huge Thank YOU

You did a yeoman’s service with helping us find and buy our house.

We are so grateful for your insights and patience.
It was a big learning curve (and I am still trying to figure out why milk is in a bag . . .) I look forward to hanging out, I mean possibly working with you when I arrive here full time;-) In the meantime, thank you again from us both. Arica and Eric

Fortunate indeed to have met Molly Hoyle

Over the past couple of weeks we were very fortunate indeed to have met Molly Hoyle.

We were selling our home and Molly brought her client to view it knowing it would be a home that they would be interested in….which by the way they were as they did end up purchasing. It was our fortunate luck that we met Molly through this endeavour. My husband and I were selling our house with Grapevine and as we are not experienced sellers there were a few times we were very close to just taking it off the market and staying here. Her experience, knowledge, kindness to us, her understanding that this was a difficult decision especially for my husband made the whole difference for us. Molly’s professionalism and expertise, her ability to ‘walk a fine line’ while working for her client and yet to be so kind and gentle with us was amazing. We feel the whole experience gave us the opportunity to meet and talk with Molly and to value her knowledge. You can be assured that we will highly recommend her to any of our friends who need a conscientious, honest, trustworthy realtor. Sadly we will miss talking with Molly but we only wish her the very best in the future and say ‘thank you Molly’ for all her help and support. Sincerely, Lenore and Ralph

I really appreciate your hard work,

I will refer you and Molly to friends and family if they are looking to sell. Yana
