RE/MAX Mainstreet is the homepage for over 93,338 agents in over 78 countries around the world. This month I am featured as the headline news story about my video marketing and its use in real estate. I don’t intended to post this as a “hey look at me” type deal, but rather to understand how being featured above all agents not only helps you, my client, but connects me with agents around the world who have clients looking for property.

As a seller, you never know where the next offer could come from. Having an agent who is networked with other agents gives you an unmeasurable difference that could be the difference between selling and not selling your property. EXAMPLE - If I have a client who is looking at moving to Vancouver, I am going to ensure that my friend Ian Watt, takes care of there purchase in Vancouver. Now Ian is going to show the clients his listings and hopefully match everybody together. Without the relationship that Ian and myself have, that sale might never of happened.

Every time I am featured on an International level, my network grows. Which means your network grows. Meaning more money in your pocket.

Wellington Village will be getting another cool condominium project added to its roster.

So it is the middle of the month. PERFECT opportunity to breakdown the current statistics for the Ottawa Condo Market. We are going to talk about three markets - Entire Ottawa, Downtown Core, and West Ottawa North.

ENTIRE OTTAWA

Currently in Ottawa there are 560 condo properties for sale across the entire Ottawa Real Estate board (107 of which are conditionally sold, but not sold firm). The average price for all these listed is $350,101. Over the last month (most accurate current information), the average price listed was $234,115 with the average sale being $230,111 - providing a 98% list to sale price ratio with average of 30 DOM (days on market). Total amount of condominiums sold in Ottawa, year to date is 2,650.

DOWNTOWN OTTAWA CORE

Currently in the downtown Ottawa core (see above map) there are 124 condominium properties for sale (16 which are conditional sold, but not sold firm). The average list price for these units is $543,868, which is high, mainly due to a fair number of new construction buildings listing the penthouse/larger units - in return raises the average). Over the last month (most accurate current information), the average price listed was $335,025 with the average sold price being $333,799 - providing a 100% list to sale price ratio with an average of 13 DOM (days on market). Total amount of condominiums sold in the downtown core, year to date is 375.

WEST OTTAWA NORTH

Currently in the west Ottawa north area (see above map) there are 62 condominium properties for sale (12 which are conditional sold, but not sold firm). The average list price for these units is $439,958, which is high, due to a couple high priced resale listings. Over the last month (most accurate current information), the average price listed was $294,412 with the average sold price being $289,578 - providing a 99% list to sale price ratio with an average of 39 DOM (days on market). Total amount of condominiums sold in the west Ottawa north area, year to date is 221.

RECAP

What does this mean? If you are looking in the downtown core, units are NOT lasting on the market. If you are relying on solely checking the MLS website, *YOU WILL MISS OUT ON PROPERTIES* especially in this market. Get signed up on an auto-notification search through your Realtor. Ensure he/she is sending you the listings asap, not one a one email per day or week setup. Also this data also shows that if you are willing to move outside the downtown core how much you can save. In most cases $40,000 or even up to $100,000 for certain parts of the city. Where do you want to live? What is your pre-approved (through a mortgage broker) amount, and what is your budget (sometimes these are two very separate numbers)?

If you would like more specific data about your area, or would like to talk about selling your home, please contact Matt Richling directly 613-286-9501 or by email Matt@MattRichling.com.
