Stay tuned for a special report on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the real estate market in Ottawa. I’m tracking new listings, conditional and firm sales on a daily basis because monthly statistics do not provide an adequate picture of this rapidly changing market.

I’m posting my usual monthly statistical graphs for March 2020 for completeness – and you can see the beginning of the downward trend particularly in the “Pace of Sales” graphs – but the daily statistics give you a much clearer picture of exactly how things are changing.
