Home sales in Ottawa last month couldn’t compete with last year’s best November on record, with a nine-per-cent decrease in sales year-over-year.
Ottawa realtors sold 931 residential properties last month, down from 1,023 in November 2011 but still well above the five-year average of 890, according to the Ottawa Real Estate Board.
The average price for a home last month was $350,020, an increase of one per cent year-over-year. That’s up 11.6 per cent since OBJ began compiling data in 2009.
