What this means for you
Median asking price is the single most useful number in a market like Ottawa — it cuts through high-end outliers and stale listings. This page is rebuilt from the live MLS feed every month, so the numbers above reflect what a buyer or renter would actually see today, not a cached quarter-old figure.
