Are Ottawa Homes Sitting or Selling Fast? April Market Shifts

In this week’s episode of the Ottawa Real Estate Podcast, we break down why some homes in Ottawa are lingering on the market while others are getting snapped up in days. We talk about the surprising April market stats, where mortgage rates might be heading, and which types of homes are looking less like a deal than they seem. We also unpack the Purchase Plus Improvement program, compare it to construction loans, and explain how financing conditions are playing into current offers. If you’ve seen a “handyman special” listing lately, you’ll want to hear our take.
