The benchmark price for single-family homes in Ottawa saw a slight uptick, reaching $727,700 in April. This represents a modest 1.6% increase compared to the same period last year.
Townhouses and row units continued to show resilience in the market, with the benchmark price holding steady at $500,800. This reflects a marginal 1% increase compared to April of the previous year.
Meanwhile, apartments maintained their upward trajectory, with the benchmark price hitting $423,100 in April. This marks a 2.1% increase from the prices recorded a year ago.
The overall MLS® HPI composite benchmark price was $643,700 in April 2024, showing a marginal gain of 1.6% from April 2023.
