Ottawa Real Estate Market still hot in October 2009

11-05-09
Jean Richer

Another great month for the Real Estate market in the Ottawa area. The stats just came out from the Ottawa Real Estate Board and we have sold more homes again in October compared to last year. An increase of 24.7%. That's right!! Another record breaking month here in Ottawa.

Agents in the Ottawa are sold 1,202 residential properties compared to 964 in October 2008. The year to date numbers are 4% more than the same period last year.

A low inventory and low interest rates is certainly helping these high numbers. The average sale price is $318,655, an increase of 13.6% over last year! The average condo price is $232,046 (14.6% increase over last year) and the average residential-class property average is $343,745, an increase of 13.3% over last year.

It is still considered a seller's market. If you are thinking of waiting for the Spring to sell your home, it might be a wise idea to get your house ready now, put it on the market and get top dollar for your home. We can not predict what the Spring market will do, but one thing is for sure is that you will likely have more competition if you wait for the Spring.

If you need more information or want to discuss selling or buying a home in Ottawa, just give me a quick call or you can always e-mail me at jeanricher@jeanricher.com

The first block has already been sold out but the second block will be available for the Spring of 2010. These beautiful homes come standard with hardwood on the main floor and ceramic in the foyer, kitchen and bathrooms. There is 3 good size bedrooms, bright kitchen and many options to choose from. The second level has the option of having a cheater ensuite and a walk in closet. Come for a visit and you won't be disappointed.

Time to turn off the tap

It's November 2nd, 2009 and many people over the week end have been putting things away for the winter. Yes!! I said it, the "W" word. Winter is coming soon.

I took the time this week-end to put all our summer things away, get the pool winterized, put the patio set away, hide the lawnmower and all those things we don't use during the winter months. There you go!! All set for the cold winter months. If you are a skiier then it's great! The skis & snowboard (for my son, not me) is ready and waiting near the garage door.

One more thing that many people will overlook or forget is the tap for the water outside, side, front or back of the house. Make sure to turn off your tap because you could be faced with a not so nice surprise in Spring. A frozen pipe can be a challenge, with the cost of a plumber to come fix it and also water damage inside your house. Make sure to also disconnect any hose attached to the tap.

You can also look at my Video Blog on it if you want.

Have a great day! and enjoy the sunshine here in Ottawa

The townhouses in Rockland Town Square are coming along very well. The road has been paved and the second set of four homes are now framed. The first set of four have all the doors and windows in, so you can actually see them taking shape. We are still selling the second block of townhouses but we are getting a lot of interest, so if you are thinking about buying one, you better hurry!
