Ottawa new home sales rise in June as market sees mid-year uptick
July 28, 2025
OTTAWA, ON — Ottawa’s new home market continued its gradual rebound in June, with 358 units sold, marking a 7.8 per cent increase compared to June 2024, when 332 new homes were purchased.
“June’s numbers are especially encouraging for Ottawa home builders as we pass the halfway point of 2025,” said Jason Burggraaf, Executive Director of the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association. “While total sales are trailing last year’s pace, month-over-month gains show demand is there, and we hope to see buyers turn out in greater numbers in the second half of the year.”
Last month, sales were up 13.7 per cent from May, when 315 homes were sold, marking the strongest monthly performance so far this year.
Compared to the previous four years, June 2025 had the highest number of monthly sales.
Despite a stronger June market, year-to-date sales stand at 1,776, which is 3.8 per cent lower than the same period last year, when 1,847 new homes had sold.
