OTTAWA, April 7, 2025 - The number of homes sold through the MLS ® System of the Ottawa Real Estate Board (OREB) totaled 1,103 units in March 2025. “The Ottawa housing market in March 2025 remained relatively stable, with sales activity slightly lower than the same period last year,” said OREB President Paul Czan. “However, we’re seeing continued momentum month-over-month as the spring market gains traction. Both buyers and sellers are exercising some caution—likely due to economic uncertainty and the upcoming election—but the current lower interest rates are encouraging more activity as they step off the sidelines.” “Looking ahead, the ongoing trade and tariff concerns could affect new construction and further exacerbate supply challenges,” Czan adds. “So, it’s critical that the City of Ottawa continues collaborating

with key stakeholders. We were pleased to take part in discussions around the proposed New Zoning By-Law, which prioritizes housing options and opportunities to maximize options for Ottawa’s residents.” The overall MLS ® HPI composite benchmark price was $626,200 in March 2025, up 2.2% compared to March 2024 The benchmark price for single-family homes was $698,700, up 2.7% year-over-year in March. By comparison, the benchmark price for a townhouse/ row unit was $431,200, a decline of 8.0% from 2024. There were 2,221 new residential listings in March 2025. Months of inventory numbered 3.9 at the end of March 2025.
