Condo sales continue to strengthen the Ottawa resale market. In comparison to last year the number of condo units sold was up 22.1 per cent, whereas residential units have held steady.
Residential listings are selling almost 30 per cent faster than this time last year, and condo units are selling just over 10 per cent faster than last year. Inventory has continued in a steady downward trend.
