Ottawa Real Estate Market Update
Each month, Jason Polonski — a full-time Ottawa REALTOR® who has covered the local market for years — publishes a fresh read on Ottawa’s housing market using the Ottawa Real Estate Board’s official monthly statistics.

What This Page Covers
Ottawa’s real estate market moves in monthly cycles, not daily headlines. Jason’s updates track the numbers that actually matter to buyers and sellers: average and median sale price, total sales, new listings, active inventory, and average days on market, broken out by property type. Each report also explains what the numbers mean in practice — not just what happened, but what it signals for anyone buying or selling in Ottawa, Kanata, Stittsville, or Barrhaven that month.

Why Monthly, and Why It Matters
The Ottawa Real Estate Board releases official figures once a month, drawn from actual closed transactions across the region — not estimates or algorithmic projections. That’s the cadence this series follows. Housing decisions unfold over months, not days, and a consistent monthly record makes it possible to see real trends emerge: whether prices are firming or softening, whether inventory is loosening the market for buyers, or whether a particular season is running hot or slow compared to past years.
Jason’s background gives these updates a practical edge most market commentary lacks. Before real estate, he worked in construction and the electrical trades, and holds a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing and Finance from Concordia University — so the read on each month’s numbers comes paired with an understanding of what’s actually driving value in a home, not just what the spreadsheet says.
