OTTAWA, June 6, 2025 - The number of homes sold through the MLS ® System of the Ottawa Real Estate Board (OREB) totaled 1,807 units in May 2025. “Year-to-date home sales activity remains in line with 2024; however, the 33.1% surge over April 2025 suggests we’re experiencing a delayed spring market,” says OREB President Paul Czan. “April’s federal election took up real estate in consumers’ minds. Now, we’re seeing a shift in the marketplace, with active listings on the rise and months of inventory holding steady. Buyers appear to be gaining confidence, re-entering the market and transacting. For sellers, however, rising inventory means that competitive pricing and strong presentation are more critical than ever.” The overall MLS ® HPI composite benchmark price was $629,800 in May 2025; a 0.8% rise compared to May 2024.The benchmark price for single-family homes was $700,000, up 0.6% year-over-year in May. By comparison, the benchmark price for a townhouse/row unit was $446,900, an increase of 3.4% from 2024. There were 3,430 new residential listings in May 2025. Months of inventory remained steady at 2.4 in May 2025.
