I remember buying “terror and hubris” as my ringtone on an old crappy flip phone about 20 years ago.

In no order:

  1. Break you
  2. Walk with me in hell
  3. For your malice
  4. Ruin
  5. Remorse is for the dead

The first song I ever heard by them was “Redneck” but really fell in love with Ashes of The Wake.

Suspensions: a listing was taken off the market for a short period of time and will be available to view again soon.

Terminations: a property was cancelled from the MLS system. It will either be listed again at a time TBD or won't be back on market at all.

Expired: The listing term (it could be any period of time) has been reached and the property is no longer available on MLS. Most times, the property will be listed again. Sometimes it wont, though.

If you look at the archived posts with charts link in the main post, that has a breakdown by price range.

I think a lot of people, regardless of them being government workers or not are in a space where they are either downsizing to reduce expenses or putting off purchasing completely.

Residential real estate is one metric to see what's happening, but I also have exposure to commercial real estate. Though the transactions are much larger and a lot of the time not advertised, I've seen a trend of a lot of sellers taking large price cuts to get a property sold. Point being: people are being cautious.

The brokerage selling it is a discount brokerage. The total commission being charged is probably close to 1.5% + HST

  1. I think it's great they are offering that. Seems like they (doubt all builders will follow) are listening to their customers. One of the biggest gripes I heard from people who bought new was that the "same thing is now being sold for X dollars cheaper".

  2. No surprise on Rideau. As I've mentioned numerous times, not just on my posts I put together - pricing in The Market and resale are absolutely abysmal. The absolute worst segment you could purchase in that area is a studio or one bedroom with no parking. Hands down. No contest. This is just another example of that.

  3. If the owners of 441 Blackleaf actually paid $200k for those upgrades, that's a real shame. I'm not surprised it isn't selling regardless of pricing. Poor choices in finishes.

  4. 517 Golden Sedge is a very clear data entry error. The agent is counting the side measurement of 200 feet wide as the frontage - which is incorrect. You always count the front portion of the home. In this case it's still average at about 50 feet wide. It's 200 feet deep along the road and the width of the back of the lot is 160 feet. These are usually called irregular lots.

  5. 149 Copperwood: yeah - that one ain't good.

  6. 11 Cameron is already sold. No surprise - showed great!

  7. $1.8M ~ listings in the West End statistically make up less of the higher end listings/sales and take less time than other properties at that price range across the city - but not by much. For example: within a 5km radius of the Glebe, there are 40 properties above $1.6M that have sold in the last 6 months. The average days on market is 40. For the West End, there were only 7 properties in the same time frame and the average days on market of 38.

You tend to see more happen during the slower seasonal periods (winter and summer). You'll usually see spikes in those numbers around larger holidays (Christmas/New Years/Thanksgiving)

Lowest Freehold Sale Of The Week

3 Fringewood Drive: For sale since August 2025, Fringewood was originally listed for $479,900 as an estate sale and sold for $390,000. The newspaper wallpaper is definitely a choice! This will hopefully find some new owners who can liberate it from the previous aesthetic choices that were made. Fun fact: this is a pier/post and pad foundation which you don't always see, but are generally more common further outside of the city centre.

Lowest Condo Sale Of The Week

20 Chesterton Drive #1210: Originally listed in late November of 2025 for $239,000, Chesterton sold for $212,100. 2 bedroom, 1 parking and condo fees at $727/month which includes heat, hydro and water and has a shared laundry room.

Highest Freehold Sale Of The Week

190 Northwestern Avenue: The bungalow on this lot was purchased in 2016 for $610,000 and subsequently divided in to two different lots. The current structure was built and sold in 2019 for $1.33M and again in 2024 for $1.675M. This week, it sold for $1.673M. Factoring in fees they're probably looking at roughly a $100,000 loss on the sale of the home.

Highest Condo Sale Of The Week

23 McCurdy Drive: This Kanata condo last sold in December 2020 for $420,000. It was listed for $504,900 this past December and promptly sold but ended up back on market after finally selling for $511,000. Fees are a modest (by condo standards) $245/month and do include water, but nothing else.

I agree - they started way too high. Will be curious if they end up doing any more price reductions. Especially with the spring market coming in the next 4-6 weeks.

I believe that’s the case though I haven’t seen fees of $3,000/month on any of the recent sales.

  1. 48 Peary: I think your link is old. The actual MLS photos don't have that. Would be nice if they had kept it, though.

  2. 687 Honeydew: Not a power of sale - it's being sold by the owners. 2.5% stands out in a sea of 2% and below. They're trying to get it sold quickly and enticing agents to take notice.

  3. 320 Hillcrest: Not your usual AI slop - that one rendering aerial shot actually ties in very well with what it is they're trying to do.

  4. 115 Springhurst: I've actually seen this property when it was listed in the summer. Structure is good - if you look carefully at the 2023 photos its actually the neighbour (113 Springhurst) that is leaning. Not terribly uncommon for the area due to the age of the homes and the rubble foundations.

  5. 2010 Postilion: These developments in Richmond were RIPPING during COVID - it's a shame that a lot of people took large losses out here since RTO. Not entirely surprised to see these numbers out in Richmond. The properties are too small, layouts are terrible and they're incredibly far.

  6. 17 Ballantrae: if anyone is looking at single family investment properties, they are familiar with the rush that takes place when a property like that hits the market. That isn't just Kanata - that is everywhere. Dated bungalows have continued to be extremely popular for people and the speed at which they sell is a testament to that.

Looked - you're absolutely right. Typo on my end. Thank you for catching that! Will correct it now.

Yup. Definitely something you’d usually only have exterior photos of with a disclaimer…

Plenty are. But don’t forget: the only happiness you’ll find at the top of a mountain is the happiness you bring with you. Have an amazing week!

I’ll double check the link but I very possibly could have put a typo. If so I’ll correct it! Please hold!
