Ottawa housing market report, August 2026
The figures Ottawa Real Estate Board published for August 2026, kept as they were released. For where the market is now, read the current Ottawa report, which is up to date through September 2026.
August 2026 figures
MLS HPI composite
$637,700
+1.0% vs a year earlier
Ottawa sales
1,002
−18.6% vs a year earlier
The composite was above its level a year earlier, the only such reading we hold for 2026. Sales tied 2022 for the lowest August since 2016.
A dash means the board did not state that figure in a form we could read, and we do not fill it in. OREB gave the composite as a percentage in April, May and June without a dollar figure we could read, so those months show the change only where it was stated.
