Local home sales in March fell to the lowest level since 2009, even as average prices closed in on an all-time high, according to statistics released Thursday.

Members of the Ottawa Real Estate Board sold 1,167 homes last month, a decrease of 15.9 per cent from the 1,388 homes that changed hands a year earlier.

However a local official said the drop-off was not entirely unexpected.

“The market was forecasted to slow down in 2013 as a result of recent mortgage changes, and indeed it has,” said Tim Lee, the president of the Ottawa Real Estate Board, in a statement. The OREB points to government layoffs as one reason for the slowdown.

Condominium sales did not decrease as sharply as the broader market, falling 8.3 per cent to 238 transactions.

Two-storey homes took the greatest drop in sales, falling 23.1 per cent to 530 properties.

The drop-off in sales sales did not pull down the average home price. Average prices increased one per cent year over year to $358,102.

That’s just shy of the highest average resale price in Ottawa, which was recorded last April at $364,077.

Yes, but ....

Average prices increased one per cent year over year to $358,102.

That's just shy of the highest average resale price in Ottawa, which was recorded last April at $364,077.

So, did it increase or decrease?

三月平均房价 358102比去年3月升了1%，比去年4月的364077稍低。
保留这个数据，看地产局4月报告(5月4日登出)怎么说

房价涨了咱没钱买，房价跌了咱也不能卖。所以，还是把这些房市的事情，留给弄投资房的同志们去讨论吧。

我最近总觉得自己写的QQH被偷看了。到底是不该买中国的设备，还是就不能相信中国人？

An upswing in sales for the April market

Ottawa, May 3, 2013 - Members of the Ottawa Real Estate Board sold 1,573 residential properties in April through the Board’s Multiple Listing Service® system, compared with 1,568 in April 2012, an increase of 0.3 per cent.

“The Ottawa market is doing well, and gaining ground back since the “cool-down” of the market for the past five months,” says Tim Lee, President of the Ottawa Real Estate Board. “We are on par with the strong sales of last April, and the resale market is up 34.9 per cent since last month. With the late onset of warmer weather, the traditional “spring market” saw its upswing a little later this year. With interest rates continuing to be low, Ottawa remains a healthy, stable market.”

April’s sales included 302 in the condominium property class, and 1,271 in the residential property class. The condominium property class includes any property, regardless of style (i.e. detached, semi-detached, apartment, stacked etc.), which is registered as a condominium, as well as properties which are co-operatives, life leases and timeshares. The residential property class includes all other residential properties.

The average sale price of residential properties, including condominiums, sold in April in the Ottawa area was $371,565, an increase of 2.1 per cent over April 2012. The average sale price for a condominium-class property was $266,596, a decrease of 2.3 per cent over April 2012. The average sale price of a residential-class property was $396,507, an increase of 2.9 per cent over April 2012. The Board cautions that average sale price information 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 average sale price is calculated based on the total dollar volume of all properties sold.

The Ottawa Real Estate Board is an industry association of over 2,900 sales representatives and brokers in the Ottawa area. Members of the Board are also members of the Canadian Real Estate Association.
