The number of Ottawa residences reselling for over $750,00 has increased significantly since 2009, according to a new report by residential real estate firm Re/Max.
The study, which looks at sales conducted through the multiple listing service, found that the number of luxury homes sold in the city was down slightly to 390 in 2013 from 392 in 2012. However that’s still an 86 per cent increase from 2009, when 210 luxury homes were sold.

Those two homes were among 112 that sold for over $1 million.
According to the report, this year’s highest-prices houses could go for even more. For example one house in Rockcliffe is currently listed at a little under $4 million.
There’s also one condo on the market with a list price of almost $3 million.
