What is the Ottawa housing market doing right now?
OREB's September 2026 figures show 1,010 homes sold in Ottawa, down 6.6% from September 2025, with a median of 27 days on market (22 a year earlier) and a 97.5% sale-to-list price ratio. Active listings at month end were 4,813, up 7.9% year over year.
As of · Updated
New listings rose 38.1% from August, and OREB said the 34.5% sales-to-new-listings ratio was the lowest September result of the past decade. The MLS® HPI composite benchmark fell 2.2% from August, which OREB called the largest August-to-September drop in a series starting in 2005, while noting one month does not establish a trend.
Keep in mind. OREB figures are citywide for all of Ottawa, not for one neighbourhood.
