How much Ottawa house prices have increased in 2020

While it’s getting pretty hot in the national capital region, it’s still relatively reasonable when compared with Toronto prices.

Over the same month, the average selling price in the 6ix rose to $951,404, a record-breaking figure for Toronto real estate.

With shocking price tags on all sorts of properties in the city, a move to the countryside suddenly seems pretty appealing.
