Hi everyone!  Hope you had a fabulous Canada Day.  The weather on the weekend was certainly hard to beat! 

So, the Ottawa real estate market is improving each month over last year.  Take a look at the number of houses listed for sale during the first part of 2010 as compared to 2009.  The year got off to a slow start but is now making up for lost time.

January
997 listings in 2009
787 listings in 2010

February
1095 listings in 2009
1054 listings in 2010

March
1483 listings in 2009

April
1549 listings in 2009

May
1414 listings in 2009
1585 listings in 2010

May of 2010 saw a 12% increase in listings over 2009.  What does this mean for you?  If you are looking to buy a home in the Ottawa area, it means that there are more homes on the market now than there were during the same time period last year.  Stay tuned for more market statistics as the summer unfolds.
