February 2026 Real Estate Market Stats
According to the February statistics released by the Ottawa Real Estate Board, conditions are aligning for a very strong spring market in Ottawa. Average prices in February remain virtually unchanged from a year ago (a 1% decrease). Demand remained muted — unit sales were down almost 7% from last February — likely due to the extreme cold experienced in late January and early February this year. We expect the current market conditions - stable prices, robust inventory (almost 4 months worth), stable or falling interest rates, along with pent-up demand from several months of below average sales volume - to lead to a strong and vibrant spring market in Ottawa. If you are thinking of making a move this spring, please reach out to me for a free consultation on how to take advantage of these market conditions.
