In this week’s episode, we look back at 2025 and put our real estate predictions to the test. We break down what actually happened in the Ottawa housing market, review the latest stats, and talk through inflation, mortgage rates, and shifting buyer and seller behaviour across Canada. We discuss why active listings surged, why single family homes kept prices moving, and why condos told a different story. We also talk about variable versus fixed rate mortgages, how inflation is shaping lending decisions, and why Ottawa continues to stay resilient compared to other Canadian markets.
