Sales To Inventory Ratio - Ottawa

Res Condo RES+CDO

Source: OREB

Explanation: This chart plots monthly MLS® sales to listing inventory ratio for three years. This ratio indicates the

market balance. A ratio between 15%-25% is a balanced market which favors neither buyer or seller. A ratio below

15% favors buyers (supply is high - demand is low). A ratio above 25% favors sellers (supply is low - demand is high)

The red line shows the residential homes ratio, the green line shows the ratio for condominiums and the blue line

represents residential & condos combined..


Buyer’s Market

Balanced Market

Seller’s Market


Explanation: This chart plots monthly year over year percentage change in MLS® listing inventory (supply) for three years. The red line

shows the residential listing inventory at the end of the month, the green line is the condominium listing inventory at the end of the

month and the blue line is the combined residential and condo inventory at the end of the month. The summer of 2012 was when the

tightening of mortgage qualification rules negatively impacted sales and inventory grew through the latter part of 2012 and remained

higher through 2013 and 2014 but since mid-2015 inventory has been dropping and is continuing to fall in 2016.
