This is an edited release from the Greater Ottawa Homebuilders’ Association:

The latest data on new home sales confirms a sustained momentum from the beginning of the year into March. According to the most recent Ottawa New Home Market Report, 313 new homes were sold last month. These figures represent a 58 per cent increase compared to March of last year when 198 sales were recorded. This also signifies a modest rise from February, during which 286 new homes were sold.
“The steady increase of new home sales is a terrific sign for the housing market as we venture further into the year,” said Jason Burggraaf, Executive Director of the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association. “It feels like consumer confidence is improving, and that the pent-up demand from last year is starting to be seen in sales centres.”
With three months of data secured, the trajectory of new home sales in 2024 continues to rise. The 872 sales confirmed year-to-date represent an 84 per cent increase compared to the same period last year when sales were at 473.
