Shownotes

The spring market in Ottawa is not arriving the way most people expected, and if you are waiting for the headlines to tell you when to move, you are already behind.

In this episode, we break down the March numbers and what they are actually signalling beneath the surface. Days on market dropped sharply, inventory is rising, and prices are quietly firming up in ways that do not show up in the general conversation yet. Detached homes, townhouses, and condos are each telling a different story right now and knowing which segment is leading the recovery could completely change your approach as a buyer or seller this season.

We also look beyond Ottawa at what is happening nationally, from major urban centres seeing sharp price swings to smaller markets in Quebec and the Prairies quietly outperforming. Migration trends, transit challenges, and off-grid property demand are all adding new layers to the affordability picture coast to coast.
