Market Trends
The Westboro real estate market
Westboro has been one of the strongest infill markets in Ottawa for over a decade. Demand from down-sizing boomers, professional couples, and federal employees keeps the area chronically supply-constrained.
New infill builds command a meaningful premium, and well-renovated character homes move fastest. Listings priced strategically frequently sell in under 14 days.
