In January and February of this year, the average home or condo in the Ottawa real estate market sold in 40 days. This is up from 25 days last summer.

However, the average home or condo sold by the Renaud Otten team sold in only 22 days – a full 2 1/2 weeks quicker! This is down from the 25 day average of last summer.

So, is the Ottawa real estate market up or down in 2009? Contact the Renaud Otten team and it is UP!

Finally, some good news in the Citizen about the Ottawa real estate market. Today’s Ottawa Citizen has an article about it being a home buyer’s market and that Canadians are not as affected by the current economy.

The Ottawa Real Estate Board’s statistics show that, over the past 20 years, homes in Ottawa have appreciated in value an average of over 5% each year. Who’s RRSP portfolio is doing the same? Real estate continues to be a sound investment in the long term and Canadians realize that.

Happy house hunting!

Now that we have had a few days of sun and we feel that spring is approaching, a lot of us are contemplating garden and outside yard work.
