When was the last time you actually checked what your home is worth? Not what you THINK it's worth. Not what your neighbour told you at the block party. I mean a real, current, data-backed evaluation based on:

-Recent sales in YOUR specific neighbourhood
-What's actually happening in the Ottawa market right now
-The unique features of YOUR home
-Current buyer demand in YOUR area

Here's what I'm seeing in Ottawa right now: Some neighbourhoods have seen values climb 3-8% in the past year. Others have levelled off. And some pockets? They're outperforming everyone's expectations. The difference between streets—not even neighbourhoods, but STREETS—can be $20K-$75K+. So whether you're thinking about selling in the next year, just curious, or want to know your equity for renovation planning...You deserve to know the real number.

I do complimentary home evaluations for Ottawa homeowners (no obligation, no pressure, just real data and honest conversation). Want to know what your home is worth in today's market?📩 Drop a 🏡 in the comments or send me a DM and I'll get you an answer this week. Because knowledge is power. And your home is your biggest investment.

🏡 Ottawa Housing Market Update – January 2026

Single-Family Homes

Detached homes remained Ottawa’s most stable segment, even as winter slowed overall activity. In January, 276 homes sold, down 13.8% year-over-year. Supply stayed balanced with 4.3 months of inventory, supported by 1,177 active listings and 663 new listings—essentially flat from last year.

Prices softened slightly. The average sale price dipped to $793,874 (-3.6% YoY), while the median price held steady at $750,000. Overall, the market is adjusting gradually, with limited price shifts.

Townhomes

Townhome sales increased 6.4% YoY to 215 units, while new listings jumped 45.8% to 487, pushing active listings to 708 (+67% YoY). With supply rising, the market is shifting slightly in buyers’ favour.

What does this mean for YOU?

THINKING ABOUT SELLING?

Detached home?➡️Price it right, make it shine, and you’ll sell. The market is balanced, which means realistic pricing wins. Don’t test the market-price to sell from day one.

Townhome?➡️You’ve got competition (new listings are up 45.8%). Stand out with condition and strategic pricing. Be ready to negotiate.

Condo?➡️ Price aggressively (3-5% below recent sales). Highlight unique features. Be prepared for longer market time (60 days).

THINKING ABOUT BUYING?

Detached home?➡️ You’re not in a bidding war race. Include your conditions for financing and home inspection. Negotiate fairly. This is a healthy balanced market.

Townhome?➡️ You have options with supply increase of 45.8% =0.458 choice. Make offer with conditions, negotiate price, and don’t feel rushed.

Condo?➡️ Prices are down 12%. If you’re a first-time buyer, this is the window!

📉 Bank of Canada Cuts Rates — What Does That Mean for YOU!

After several months of gradual easing, the Bank of Canada just announced another rate reduction — bringing the overnight rate down to 2.25%.

So… what does that mean for homeowners and buyers? Let’s break it down 👇

🏠 For Homeowners (especially with variable rates)

Good news — if you have a variable-rate mortgage

🔹 For variable rate mortgages, rate cuts can mean more of the mortgage payment goes towards the principal of the mortgage, and less towards interest.
🔹Homeowners who have a variable rate mortgage with variable payments could see their total payment shrink.
🔹 If your mortgage is up for renewal, this could be a great time to compare options or refinance.

📊 For Canadians with fixed rate mortgages, a central bank rate cut does not immediately make an impact since fixed rate mortgages are commonly based on five-year bond yields.

🏡 For New Buyers

This shift could open new doors — literally.

🔹 Lower rates can improve your affordability, allowing you to qualify for a slightly higher purchase price or lower your monthly payment.
🔹 Lenders may offer more competitive mortgage promotions as the market adjusts.
🔹 It’s a great time to get pre-approved, so you can lock in a rate before conditions shift again.

💡 Keep in mind: the mortgage stress test still applies, meaning you’ll have to qualify at a higher rate than your contract rate — but this cut still helps overall affordability.

⚠️ Things to Watch / Be Cautious About

The cut is modest — 25 basis points is meaningful but not dramatic.

The Bank of Canada signaled it may pause further cuts unless economic conditions worsen.

Inflation, housing supply, regional market dynamics, lending rules, and local conditions will still heavily influence mortgage costs and real estate markets.

Not all lenders will “pass along” the full benefit immediately — timing and spread matters

🚨 Rate cut alert! The Bank of Canada just lowered rates to 2.5% (first cut since March).

💡 What it means:
• Variable mortgages + HELOCs = lower interest 💸
• Buyers = more affordability + flexibility 🏡
• A smart window of opportunity is open ⏳
