“Certainly, there are a few factors at play: rising interest rates, growing Buyer frustration, April’s cooler temperatures, as well as the housing supply measures recently announced by the government – these could all be causing Buyers to pull back with a wait-and-see approach.

Since April is only one month, we will be monitoring to see if it becomes a trend moving forward,” states Ottawa Real Estate Board President Penny Torontow.
