For the most up-to-date information, see this months Ottawa Real Estate Market Update

Prices won’t escalate as much in 2020.

ReMax is predicting a 6% increase, and Royal Lepage is predicting a 4.5% hike. We’ll go with that! Average house prices will break through the $500,000 mark with the average being predicted for 2010 is $516,200, by Royal Lepage.

We have a minority government supported by centre-left to left wing big spenders, so the financial taps will continue to flow.

Canadas major banks are predicting the TSX to go up to a range of 17,700 to 18,500. (currently at 17,000)

We hope inventory levels increase. (especially for condo inventory)

I don’t see how we can have another year of such scarcity especially with condominiums. There were times in 2019 when there were only 4 to 6 weeks of inventory for sale. It can’t get worse than that.

Going into 2020 we still expect that there will be a lot of competition for certain types of home, especially those between $200,000 up to $400,000 in the areas of Orleans, Kanata and Barrhaven and area close to the new LRT line.
