Monthly Real Estate Trends: Ottawa Sales Figures for May 2025

The Ottawa real estate market showed solid momentum in May, with 1,807 homes sold—a 33% jump from April and nearly 15% higher than last May. It looks like our spring market was delayed this year, but it’s here now and gaining steam.

With active listings on the rise and months of inventory holding steady, we're seeing more buyer confidence and increased activity. That’s great news if you’re looking to make a move soon!

Home Prices:

·         Benchmark price: $629,800 (+0.8% YoY)

·         Single-family: $700,000 (+0.6%)

·         Townhomes: $446,900 (+3.4%)

·         Apartments: $404,700 (–3.6%)

·         Average sale price: $728,623 (+4.8%)

  • The average price of homes sold in May 2025 was $728,623, a 4.8% increase from May 2024.

Market Activity:

·         New listings: 3,430 (↑8.7% YoY)

·         Active listings: 4,347 (↑13.5%)

·         Months of inventory: 2.8 (slight increase)

Overall, Ottawa is holding steady—even as some larger markets slow down. Pricing remains fair, and with interest rates holding, buyers aren’t feeling rushed, which is helping both sides transact with confidence.

Thinking about buying or selling? Is anyone in your social circles looking to buy or sell this year?
