库存与供应

12月活跃房源降至2,544套，但仍高于往年同期，库存比去年高19%，比2023年高45%，比2022年高89%。月度库存达到4.3个月，接近长期均值。

Overall Market Performance

Ottawa’s real estate market closed out 2025 with stability. Total residential sales increased by 1.3% compared with 2024, while total dollar volume rose 4.1%, reflecting a balanced market driven by fundamentals.

Seasonal Trends

The year followed a non‑traditional seasonal pattern, with a delayed spring, a steady summer, and softer conditions through the fall and early winter. December sales totaled 587 units, down 32% month over month, but in line with normal historical December activity.

Inventory and Supply

Active listings declined to 2,544 units in December, though inventory levels remained elevated compared with prior years—19% higher than last year, 45% higher than 2023, and 89% higher than 2022. Months of inventory reached 4.3, close to long‑term historical averages.

Pricing Trends

The average sale price was approximately $658,943, essentially unchanged from the same period last year. The MLS® Home Price Index shows benchmark prices declining month over month since the summer, yet finishing the year slightly above 2024 levels.

Performance by Property Type

  • Single‑Family Homes: The most resilient segment. Average sale prices declined 2.1% year over year, with 4.3 months of inventory, indicating balanced conditions.

  • Townhomes: Average sale prices declined 2.8% year over year, reflecting pricing pressure, though demand from end users continues to provide support.

  • Apartments (Condos): The weakest segment, with inventory approaching 8 months. Average sale prices declined 4.8% year over year, highlighting an ongoing supply‑demand imbalance.

Outlook for 2026

The market is expected to remain stable, with any improvement in activity likely to be gradual. Interest rate relief is supporting confidence, but buyers remain cautious amid broader economic uncertainty. The condo segment will continue to require close monitoring.
