House Hunting in Canada: Octagonal Riverfront Views Outside Ottawa
After lagging behind larger Canadian cities for years, Ottawa saw home prices balloon in 2020, fueled by a surge in demand and ‘inventory at historic lows.’
By Michael Kaminer
$3.77 MILLION ($4.795 CANADIAN DOLLARS)
Set on the banks of the Rideau River, this custom-built four-bedroom home is in Manotick, a village about 15 miles south of Ottawa, Canada’s capital city. The 3.4-acre property includes 264 feet of water frontage, with two boat slips. “It’s rare to acquire a property on the river with this much waterfront,” said Marilyn Wilson of Dream Properties, the listing broker. “And having two boat slips is unusual. You wouldn’t be able to get them now because of conservation rules.”
After a year that saw home average home prices jump 20 per cent, Ottawa homebuyers can expect little relief in the months ahead, according to a major Canadian real estate brokerage.
“The strong seller’s market is expected to persist through 2021, as demand continues to outpace supply in Ottawa,” Jason Ralph, managing partner at Ottawa’s Royal LePage Team Realty, said in a statement Friday after the company released its latest house price survey.
Last month, Royal LePage predicted the average price tag of an Ottawa home will rise 11.5 per cent this year, fuelled partly by an influx of buyers from the Toronto area looking for better value as well as surging demand for roomier properties in the COVID-19 era.
