Ottawa’s real estate market is dynamic and steadily growing, offering a range of options from historic homes and family-friendly suburbs to modern condos in the downtown core. The city experiences strong demand due to its stable economy, government presence, and growing tech sector. While prices have been rising, Ottawa remains more affordable compared to other major Canadian cities like Toronto or Vancouver. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, investor, or looking to upgrade, Ottawa’s market provides diverse opportunities in both resale homes and new developments. The market tends to favor sellers, but there are still good options for buyers who act with informed strategies. For more information, email jazz@dicairehomes.ca or call us at 613-830-3350
The first step is to sit down with us and discuss your needs, goals, and budget. Getting pre-approved by your bank or mortgage broker early on is crucial—it gives us a clear idea of your price range and strengthens your position when making an offer. From there, we'll help you refine your search criteria, including location, property type, must-haves, and nice-to-haves, so we can start finding the right homes for you. Our Buying Guide offers detailed information to walk you through each step of the process. If you're ready to get started, contact us!
