Pricing Properties Wrong in Ottawa? Here's What's Failing

This week on the Ottawa Real Estate Podcast, we sit down with realtors Greg Campbell and Frances Ebbrell to talk about the shifts buyers and sellers are feeling right now across Ottawa. We talk about the benefits of home seller closing insurance, why buyer behaviour is changing, and how pricing strategies are making or breaking deals in today’s market.

We also compare East and West Ottawa to see where real value is showing up for first time home buyers, how community vibes impact demand, and why smaller towns around Ottawa are creating stronger connections than ever.
