Here's what $800,300 will buy you in nine Ottawa neighbourhoods
A new survey suggests Ottawa's housing market cooled down in the spring, with the aggregate price of a new home in the capital dropping 1.1 per cent from the winter.
The Royal LePage survey finds the aggregate price of a home was $800,300 in the second quarter. That's down from $809,200 in the first quarter.
Royal LePage Performance Realty broker of record John Rogan says the seasonal summer slowdown in activity and expected further interest rate hikes will put some downward pressure on prices in the months ahead.
However, Royal LePage forecasts the aggregate price of a home in Ottawa will increase 10 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the same quarter last year. The aggregate price will be $813,670 in the final three months of the year.
The Ottawa Real Estate Board reported home sales dropped for the fourth straight month in June as higher interest rates and inflation affect the real estate market.
CTVNewsOttawa.ca looks at what you can buy for the aggregate price of a new home in the second quarter. Here is what $800,300 will buy you in nine neighbourhoods across Ottawa in July.
