The spring market in Ottawa gained momentum in May, resulting in a notable 21 percent increase in home sales compared to April.

However, buyers remain value-focused as inventory continues to expand. While great properties in desirable neighbourhoods are experiencing strong demand, many other listings are now taking longer to sell and are seeing price reductions.

This complex, mixed market can be confusing for consumers. It underscores the value of utilizing a knowledgeable Realtor to navigate current conditions and identify the many opportunities that exist.

To discuss how to best take advantage of the current market, please reach out for a private consultation. 📲

📍Welcome to 17 Goodwood drive, a seriously cool 3,200 sq ft mid-century two-storey tucked into Hearts Desire, the kind of leafy, oversized lot enclave everyone seeks.

Mature trees and real character set this pocket worlds apart from anything a new subdivision can offer. At a rare 18,471 sq ft, half an acre of professionally landscaped, deeply private grounds, it's one of the largest in the area, with unobstructed views of the river and forest beyond.

Inside is where the funky mid-century charm comes alive. Three generous bedrooms, four bathrooms, an oversized kitchen, formal living and dining rooms with fireplaces, main floor laundry, a fully finished lower level with 2 more fireplaces.

The sloping lot is put to brilliant use with a double walkout that floods the lower level with light and frames those gorgeous views from every angle. Outdoor living is where this home shines. An expansive 2000 sq ft deck & private side patio space w fireplace, and a beautifully hardscaped rear patio off the dining room give you space to entertain, all anchored by an inground pool wrapped in lush, professionally designed grounds and a triple car garage.

This is a tranquil pocket of country style homes where traffic is nonexistent and neighbours wave. Just minutes from everything: Manotick's restaurants, Highway 416 for easy downtown and Kanata commutes, the VIA Rail Fallowfield station, the Marketplace, top schools, parks, and the Jock River trails right at your doorstep.
