最新的调查报告显示，现在的渥太华房市是卖方市场。由于旺盛的市场需求和正在增加的按揭贷款利率造成了卖方市场，房价的涨幅同比增长介于9%至11%之间，涨幅与房子的类型有关。
报告指出：“每5个待售的房子中大约有3个获得了多个offer，平均来说，房子的售价高于要价。我们处于卖方市场。”

Housing price rise makes Ottawa's a sellers' market: report
By Bert Hill, The Ottawa Citizen April 8, 2010
OTTAWA — Ottawa housing price growth matched strong national markets in the first quarter, a new national survey shows.
Prices rose in a range of nine per cent and 11 per cent, depending on house classes, as strong demand and rising mortgage rates created a seller's market, Royal LePage broker manager John Rogan said in a statement Thursday: "We are seeing first-time buyers taking advantage of interest rates while they are still low.
"Approximately three out of five listings are getting multiple offers and, on average, properties are selling above the asking price. We are in a seller's market."
The Royal Lepage survey shows that standard condominiums witnessed the largest price increase climbing 11.1 per cent year-over-year to $231,000 from $207,833.
Two-story houses experienced an 8.9 per cent increase to an average of $346,833 from $318,500. Prices for detached bungalows rose year-over-year by eight per cent to $342,833 from $317,500.
"The market is very active and that creates challenges for inventory. Inventory is down 30 per cent because of the high volume of unit sales," Rogan said. "This time last year, an average house was on the market for 46 days and now the average is down to 38 days."
The Ottawa house prices kept pace with increases across Canada. The national average price of a detached bungalow in Canada rose 11 per cent to $329,209 in the first quarter year-over-year, while standard two-storey homes rose 10.3 per cent to $365,141 and standard condominiums increased 10.9 per cent to $228,963.
The Ottawa condominium market is more complicated that the Royal numbers suggest. There have been huge increases in both prices and sales volumes of condominium apartments but significantly weaker results for condominium townhouses. The Ottawa Real Estate Board results show that apartment prices jumped 26 per cent in the first quarter as sales volumes doubled from a year ago. By comparison, townhouse prices rose 8.6 per cent as volumes rose just 11 per cent.
Royal LePage said the national market is highly volatile.
"National averages from our first quarter report are not particularly useful in painting a picture of the country's neighbourhood real estate stories. House sale data from the past two year period shows tremendous variances in terms of how different cities reacted to the recession," said Phil Soper, president and chief executive, Royal LePage Real Estate Services.
"In Vancouver and Toronto, for instance, the dramatic unit sales fluctuations exhibit a significant degree of market irrationality: inordinately fearful when faced with poorer markets; and overly enthusiastic when the tables turned. Montreal is an example of a city where the market has been much more stable and homeowners there seem quite happy with the relatively slow pace of change."
In addition to strong price appreciation in the first quarter of 2010, the volume of sales in Canada also increased year-over-year as pent-up demand from constrained supply of homes for sale in 2009, coupled with unseasonably warm weather, prompted a spike in home sales in the country's largest housing markets from January through March.
