渥太华十月份房屋销售呈现典型的冷淡态势

2023年10月，通过渥太华房地产局系统售出的房屋数量为816套。与2022年10月相比，略微减少了2.7%。

10月份的房屋销量比5年平均水平低36.4%，比10年平均水平低30.8%。

今年前 10 个月的房屋销售量为 10,700 套，同比大幅下降 12.4%。与 2022 年同期相比，大幅下降了 12.3%。

"OREB总裁肯-德克尔（Ken Dekker）说："如今生活成本高昂，这很可能导致买家和卖家都按兵不动。"我们看到销售活动正在缓慢下降，但降幅很小，在每年的这个时候并不出人意料。价格正在调整和下降，这也表明了正在销售的房屋类型--公寓的销售活动比去年 10 月增长最多。虽然渥太华的库存量在缓慢增加，但长期的供应问题意味着需求始终存在。不要被眼前的冷清所迷惑：现在是买家寻找机会的最佳时机，以免被大流从平衡市场带入卖家领地。

Ottawa MLS® October Home Sales Show Typical Lull

The number of homes sold through the MLS® System of the Ottawa Real Estate Board totaled 816 units in October 2023. This was a small reduction of 2.7% from October 2022.

Home sales were 36.4% below the five-year average and 30.8% below the 10-year average for the month of October.

On a year-to-date basis, home sales totaled 10,700 units over the first 10 months of the year. This was a substantial decline of 12.3% from the same period in 2022.

“Life is expensive these days, which likely has both buyers and sellers staying put,” says Ken Dekker, OREB President. “We’re seeing a slow decline in sales activity but it’s minimal and not unexpected for this time of year. Prices are adjusting and coming down, which is also indicative of the types of homes that are selling — apartments seeing the largest increase in sales activity over last October. While Ottawa’s inventory is slowly building, chronic supply issues mean there’s always an undercurrent of demand. Don’t let the lull fool you: now is a prime time for buyers to be looking for opportunities before the current carries us from a balanced market into seller’s territory.”

By the Numbers – Prices:

The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) tracks price trends far more accurately than is possible using average or median price measures.

• The overall MLS® HPI composite benchmark price was $638,600 in October 2023, nearly unchanged, up only 1.8% from October 2022.
  1. The benchmark price for single-family homes was $721,600, up 2.2% on a year-over-year basis in September.
  2. By comparison, the benchmark price for a townhouse was $501,100, nearly unchanged, up 1% compared to a year earlier.
  3. The benchmark apartment price was $424,100, unchanged from year-ago levels.
• The average price of homes sold in October 2023 was $660,836, increasing 2.9% from October 2022. The more comprehensive year-to-date average price was $671,983, a decline of 5.9% from the first ten months of 2022.
• The dollar value of all home sales in October 2023 was $539.2 million, unchanged from the same month in 2022.

OREB cautions that the average sale price can be useful in establishing trends over time but should not be used as an indicator that specific properties have increased or decreased in value. The calculation of the average sale price is based on the total dollar volume of all properties sold. Price will vary from neighbourhood to neighbourhood.

By the Numbers – Inventory & New Listings:

• The number of new listings saw an increase of 6.6% from October 2022. There were 1,895 new residential listings in October 2023. New listings were 2% above the five-year average and 5.4% above the 10-year average for the month of October.
• Active residential listings numbered 3,062 units on the market at the end of October, a sizable gain of 16.7% from the end of October 2022. Active listings haven’t been this high in the month of October in more than five years. 
• Active listings were 43.8% above the five-year average and 10.9% below the 10-year average for the month of October.
• Months of inventory numbered 3.8 at the end of October 2023, just up from the 3.1 months recorded at the end of October 2022. The number of months of inventory is the number of months it would take to sell current inventories at the current rate of sales activity.
