渥太华地产局的成员在10月份通过该局的多重上市服务系统售出了987套住宅物业，与2021年10月的1670套相比，下降了41%。10月份的销售包括758套住宅，比一年前下降了40%。229套公寓，比2021年10月下降了44%。10月份的总单位销售量的五年平均数为1554套。

"在经历了过去两个大流行年的波动，这是不可持续的，市场正在纠正和调整，"渥太华房地产委员会主席Penny Torontow说。"加拿大银行的加息加剧了市场的放缓，这进一步加剧了买家的犹豫不决，削弱了人们的购买力--尤其是首次购房者。"

"需求仍然很高，而且随着可用库存的增加，买家有更多的选择和时间来选购他们的新房。然而，对价格和利率走向的持续猜测动摇了消费者的信心，使一些潜在的买家采取了观望的态度。"

"她补充说："卖家可能对市场波动感到担忧，这是可以理解的，最近的波动更加剧烈。"与任何重大投资一样，长期的观点是很重要的。过去两年的大幅同比收益是不可持续的。如果你已经拥有了你的房产很长一段时间，你的资产已经大大增加，并将缓冲价格的调整。如果你在同一个市场买入和卖出，这都是相对的。"

从数字上看--库存和新上市的房产。住宅类房产的库存月数已从2021年的1个月增加到3.3个月。公寓类房产的库存月数从2021年的1.2个月增加到了3个月。

10月份的新房源（2047套）比2021年（1960套）高4%，比2022年9月（2371套）下降14%。10月新上市的5年平均数是1971套。

"买家和卖家需要仔细分析自己的独特情况。没有人可以绝对肯定地预测明年会发生什么，但在高度就业和稳定的渥太华市场，房地产一直是并将继续是一个良好的投资，"托伦托说。"他们没有水晶球，但抵押贷款经纪人和房地产经纪人拥有教育、专业知识--最重要的是，拥有数据，可以帮助人们根据他们的具体情况做出明智的决定。"

从数字上看--平均价格。10月份公寓类房产的平均售价为$445,691，比2021年增长了9%。住宅类房产的平均售价为$677,873，比一年前下降了5%。

今年迄今为止，住宅的平均售价为$780,390，公寓的平均售价为$456,470，这些价值代表了住宅级房产比2021年增长了8%，公寓级房产增长了9%。

房地产经纪人还帮助寻找租房和审查潜在的租户。自今年年初以来，OREB会员已协助客户租赁了5186处房产，而去年此时为4012处。

Members of the Ottawa Real Estate Board sold 987 residential properties in October through the Board’s Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) System, compared with 1,670 in October 2021, a decrease of 41%. October’s sales included 758 in the residential-property class, down 40% from a year ago, and 229 in the condominium-property category, a decrease of 44% from October 2021. The five-year average for total unit sales in October is 1,554.

“After the volatility of the past two pandemic years, which was unsustainable, the market is correcting and adjusting,” says Penny Torontow, Ottawa Real Estate Board President. “The slowdown is compounded by Bank of Canada interest rate increases, which further exacerbates buyer hesitancy and weakens people’s purchasing power—especially first-time homebuyers.”

“Demand is still high, and with increasing inventory available, Buyers have more choices and time to shop for their new home. However, the ongoing speculation about where prices and interest rates are headed shakes consumer confidence and has made some prospective Buyers take a wait-and-see approach.”

“Sellers may be understandably concerned about market fluctuations, which have been more drastic lately,” she adds. “As with any major investment, a longer-term perspective is important. The significant year-over-year gains of the last two years were not sustainable. If you have owned your property for any length of time, your equity has increased significantly and will buffer price corrections. If you buy and sell in the same market, it is all relative.”

By the Numbers – Inventory & New Listings:

• Months of Inventory for the residential-class properties has increased to 3.3 months from 1 month in 2021.
• Months of Inventory for condominium-class properties has increased to 3 months from 1.2 months in 2021.
• October’s new listings (2,047) were 4% higher than 2021 (1,960) and down 14% from September 2022 (2,371). The 5-year average for new listings in October is 1,971.

“Buyers and Sellers need to carefully analyze their own unique circumstances. No one can predict with absolute certainty what will happen next year, but in the highly employed and stable Ottawa market, real estate has been and continues to be a good investment over time,” says Torontow. “They don’t have a crystal ball, but mortgage brokers and REALTORS® have the education, expertise—and most importantly, the data—to help people make an informed decision for their specific situation.”

By the Numbers – Average Prices*:

• The average sale price for a condominium-class property in October was $445,691, an increase of 9% from 2021.
• The average sale price for a residential-class property was $677,873, decreasing 5% from a year ago.
• With year-to-date average sale prices at $780,390 for residential units and $456,470 for condominiums, these values represent an 8% increase over 2021 for residential-class properties and a 9% increase for condominium-class properties.

REALTORS® also help with finding rentals and vetting potential tenants. Since the beginning of the year, OREB Members have assisted clients with renting 5,186 properties compared to 4,012 last year at this time.
