Find Your Home in Ottawa with an Agent Who Has Your Back.

For buyers, the services of a professional real estate agent are typically free. The agent's commission is paid by the seller from the proceeds of the sale. This means you get expert negotiation, strategic advice, and dedicated representation throughout the entire Ottawa home buying process at no direct cost to you. You can learn more about the value our professionals provide by meeting our team of experts.

While browsing for homes for sale in Ottawa is exciting, the most crucial first step is to determine your budget and get a mortgage pre-approval. This puts you in a powerful negotiating position and ensures you are searching for homes comfortably within your price range. Understanding your financial standing is key, and you can get a preliminary idea by using our mortgage calculator.

The minimum down payment in Canada is 5% of the purchase price for homes under $500,000. For homes between $500,000 and $999,999, it's 5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on the remainder. A down payment of 20% or more allows you to avoid CMHC insurance. We cover strategies for this in-depth in our free playbook, The Ottawa Home Buyer's Advantage Playbook.

Choosing the right neighbourhood is just as important as choosing the right house. Consider factors like commute times, school districts, access to parks, and local amenities. As local experts, our agents have deep knowledge of Ottawa's diverse communities. We recommend exploring our detailed neighbourhood guides to start your research.
