The local real estate market continues to heat up with the summer temperatures, according to the latest figures released by the Ottawa Real Estate Board on Monday.
Board members sold 1,694 residential properties in June, up 2.2 per cent from the 1,657 sold in June 2014 and also higher than the five-year average of 1,664.
“Year-to-date sales for the first half of 2015 are up 4.9 per cent over the first half of 2014, and average sale price continues to be steady for the first half of the year,” OREB president David Oikle said in a statement.
