Ottawa, May 2023 - Members of the Ottawa Real Estate Board (OREB) sold 1,488 residential properties in April through the Board’s Multiple Listing Service ® (MLS ® ) System, down 21% from March 2023. April’s sales included 1,156 in the freehold property class, down 18% from a year ago, and 332 in the condominium property category, down 29% from last year. The five-year average for total unit sales in April is 1,739. “Ottawa’s resale market is on a steady upward trajectory, narrowing the comparison gap to peak pandemic activity in 2022. However, with new listings not keeping pace, the available housing stock is declining, and with less than two months of inventory — we’re back into seller’s market territory,” says Ottawa Real Estate Board President Ken Dekker.

The average sale price for a freehold-class property in April was $747,123, a decrease of 10% from 2022. However, it marks a 5% increase over March 2023. The average sale price for a condominium-class property was $435,875, decreasing 8% from a year ago, but still a 4% gain over March 2023. April’s new listings (2,144) were 25% lower than April 2022 (2,843) and up 3% from March 2023 (2,089). Days on market (DOM) for freeholds decreased from 34 to 27 days and 39 to 33 days for condos compared to last month.
