Questions Sellers Usually Ask
From the time you start preparing your home to closing day, the full process typically takes 6 to 14 weeks. A well-priced Ottawa home in good condition usually receives offers within 1 to 4 weeks of listing, followed by a 5 to 10 business day conditional period, and a closing period of 30 to 90 days. Our seller timeline guide walks through every stage in detail.
Usually no, not in the way most people think. Full kitchen and bathroom renovations rarely return their full cost in resale. What consistently moves the needle is fresh neutral paint, professional staging, deep cleaning, and curb appeal. Our guide on what to renovate before selling breaks down the ROI on every common pre-sale improvement.
Total selling costs typically run 3% to 6% of the sale price. The biggest items are real estate commission (including HST), legal fees, and any mortgage penalty if you are breaking a fixed-rate mortgage mid-term. See the full breakdown in our cost to sell guide.
Spring (March through June) is Ottawa's most active selling season with the highest buyer demand. Fall (September to November) is a solid second window. That said, well-priced homes sell in every season. The right time to sell is when your home is ready and properly priced, not when the calendar says so.
Real estate commissions in Ottawa are negotiable and not set by law. I am happy to discuss my fees directly when we talk. What I will tell you up front is that the right question is not just what the commission is, but what you get for it and what it costs you if you choose a cheaper option that delivers a weaker result. Let's have that conversation.
Yes. Selling a tenanted property in Ottawa requires following Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act carefully, including proper showing notice, N12 procedures if the buyer intends to occupy, and full disclosure in the listing. We have handled many investment property sales across Ottawa and the surrounding communities. See our guide to selling a tenanted property for more detail.
It's Your Move.
Whether you are ready to list or just starting to think about it, the first step is the same: find out what your home is worth. The rest gets easier from there.
