Ottawa's real estate market experiences ‘busiest June we've seen in quite some time'
The average sale price for homes in Ottawa increased five per cent in June, as the real estate market heated up into the summer.
The Ottawa Real Estate Board says 1,602 homes and condominiums were sold in Ottawa in June, up 1,439 properties sold in June 2024. The number of homes sold last month was down from the 1,807 properties sold in May 2025.
'This was the busiest June we've seen in quite some time, with sales up 10.6 per cent and new listings rising nearly 14 per cent year over year, signifying we did, in fact, experience a delayed spring market,' Paul Czan, president of the Ottawa Real Estate Board, said in a statement.
'We're seeing more inventory hit the market, giving buyers more choice. With the changing market conditions, sellers need to be future-focused—pricing thoughtfully and preparing their homes to be one of the top picks in their area.'
The average sale price of a home sold in Ottawa in June was $723,152, up 5.2 per cent from June 2024.
The overall MLS HPI composite benchmark price, representing the typical home in Ottawa, was $634,300 in June, up 1.5 per cent from a year before.
According to the Ottawa Real Estate Board, 2,933 new residential properties were added to the market in June 2025, up 6.6 per cent from the year ago. As of the end of June, 4,350 units were listed on real estate websites.
'Apartments are one segment that continues to feel the strain, with sales down about 20 per cent across Ottawa and inventory building,' Czan said.
'There is a variety of compounding factors in play here, including an increase in new construction, elevated financing costs and rising strata fees reducing affordability—especially for first-time buyers, but also, we're seeing neighbourhood-specific factors impacting demand."
The Ottawa Real Estate Board says Ottawa's real estate market 'remains a stable market.'
'We're getting back to familiar seasonal trends—where summer activity will pick up for families looking for a home prior to the school year, and with students returning to the city—a stronger fall is likely ahead.'
According to Redfin, two homes in Ottawa sold for more than $3.4 million in June. A six-bedroom home in Manotick sold for $3.425 million, while a six bedroom, eight-bathroom home on Rothwell Drive in Beacon Hill sold for $3.470 million.

Poilievre demands action from Ottawa on canola tariffs during stop in Saskatoon
WATCH: Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre made a stop in Saskatoon Thursday ahead of his byelection next week. WATCH: Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre made a stop in Saskatoon Thursday ahead of his byelection next week. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Prime Minister Mark Carney's weak leadership is costing Canadians, and it's time to speak up and defend Western Canada's canola producers. 'It's like he doesn't care about Western Canadian producers,' Poilievre said. 'I had my team check his Twitter account. He hasn't tweeted a single thing about canola. Yet, he's been able to tweet about International Cat Day.' China's latest tariff on canola — this time a 75.8 per cent rate targeting canola seed imports — was put into action Thursday following an anti-dumping investigation, escalating a year-long trade dispute. Beijing previously imposed 100 per cent tariffs on canola oil and meal in March, effectively stagnating Canada's second largest foreign Canola market. The latest tariff has been seen as a response to the previous Liberal government's decision last year to impose a 100 per cent tariff on Chinese-made electric vehicles in 2024. Poilievre made a stop at a farm just outside Saskatoon Thursday ahead of a byelection in Alberta, where Poilievre is looking to regain his seat in the House of Commons. He wouldn't directly answer a question if Ottawa should repeal its EV tariff, but said revenue from that tariff should go to producers. 'The money raised from the by the Canadian government in that dispute should go back to the people who are paying the bills,' Poilievre said. 'And that, of course, is mostly our canola producers.' Bill Prybylski, the president of the Agriculture Producers Association of Saskatchewan who farms west of Yorkton, says urgent action is needed from the Prime Minister soon. 'He's got to do something because right now it looks like we're being sacrificed,' Prybylski said. 'Sacrificing canola producers to save an EV industry that for the most part, is non-existent in the country.' Prybylski says while initial downturn in the market resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue for an industry which contributes more than $43 billion to the economy and employs roughly 200,000 people, he expects more uncertainty in the days and weeks ahead with harvest quickly approaching. On Thursday afternoon, Carney took to X to provide an update, saying he spoke with Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe. He said both men are 'focused on a series of measures to support hard-working farmers.' Carney says Canada does not dump canola, a key motivation for the tariff. 'We will advance a constructive dialogue with Chinese officials to address our respective trade concerns, while diversifying our trade abroad and supporting our canola producers at home,' the statement read. Prybylski appreciates the federal government's efforts, but says the situation is disappointing. He feels Saskatchewan farmers are caught in the middle of a trade war the federal government started. 'We're basically helpless here,' he said. 'Other than we can advocate for changes and hope that our voices are being heard.'
