The Case for Ottawa

Why Investors Choose Ottawa

Stable Workforce

Ottawa's federal government workforce of 120,000+ creates a uniquely stable, recession-resistant rental market unlike any other Canadian city.

Consistent Appreciation

Ottawa real estate has averaged 5–7% annual appreciation over the past decade without the volatility of Toronto or Vancouver.

Strong Rental Demand

University of Ottawa, Carleton University, and Algonquin College generate over 70,000 students — driving year-round rental demand.

Affordable Entry Point

Compared to Toronto, Ottawa investors can acquire income properties at 40–50% lower prices with comparable or better cap rates.

Investment Strategies

Types of Ottawa Investment Properties

Single-Family Rentals

3.5–5% yield

Detached and semi-detached homes in Barrhaven, Kanata, and Nepean command strong rents from families and government workers. Typically lower yield but higher appreciation.

Condo Rentals

4–6% yield

Centretown and Sandy Hill condos near uOttawa and Parliament Hill offer the highest yield in Ottawa. Lower entry cost, strong student and professional demand.

Multi-Unit Properties

5–7% yield

Duplexes and triplexes offer multiple income streams from one property. Less common in Ottawa but highly sought-after by investors when available.

Commercial Properties

5–8% yield

Office, retail, and mixed-use properties in Ottawa's core offer longer leases and triple-net structures. We represent investors across the commercial spectrum.
