OTTAWA HOUSE HUNTING TRIP: 2019 OUTLOOK

This past year was very challenging for my Ottawa house hunters. Our market is as hot as I have seen it in my 14 years. When my military buyers were in town this year the lack of inventory made purchasing harder. Not only that but when sellers are holding offers until a certain date and time it does not work well for my clients. They often have a 3-4 day window to purchase and cannot wait. Fortunately, my clients were all successful in purchasing on their house hunting trips this year. I can honestly say it is because of the groundwork we did before everyone arrived. I have been getting off-market homes on a list that 2 of my incoming military clients purchased. We plan to double down on this for 2019. We are already working on an off-market MLS basically exclusively for our military clients.

I do believe that 2019 will be another “hot” market in Ottawa. The economic indicators all point to this happening again. Our team will be well prepared to make sure all our military clients have access to good options that are not available to the public.
