Congrats to my seller on the firm sale of her beautiful home! 25 years of family gatherings, easter dinners and backyard entertaining will forever me immortalized and cherished and she prepares for the next stage in her life. And although it might feel bitter sweet leaving our home after such a long time, today marks a new chapter to not only create new lasting memoires with friends and family, but also meet new friends we haven't yet met along the way.

The Ottawa market report is out!  As expected, April sales and listings are up in the last month as we enter the spring market, these numbers are a lower relative increase when compared to historical selling activity (new listings and sales both down) as the market slowly ticks up in activity.  Months of inventory is now at 3.7 for April, as the residential market gets closer and closer to parity for buyers and sellers (parity).  It’s important to understand that certain neighborhoods and style of homes sell much more differently than others.  Homes that are priced well, show well, can sell quickly (within a day) and even with multiple offers (including no conditions).
