Overview
The Ottawa Real Estate Board (OREB) is a leading professional association representing over 4,000 REALTORS® in Canada’s capital. Established in 1921, it provides members with access to the MLS® System and advocates for housing affordability and policy reforms. OREB plays a critical role in analyzing market trends, promoting sustainable development, and collaborating with governments to address housing challenges.
Ottawa’s real estate market has seen modest price increases, with single-family homes and townhouses outpacing condominiums. Inventory levels have risen, shifting the market toward balance, though buyers remain cautious. OREB emphasizes strategic pricing for sellers and highlights the city’s relative affordability compared to Toronto or Vancouver.
The board actively engages policymakers to streamline housing construction, improve rental regulations, and repurpose underused land. It supports initiatives to expand housing supply, such as modular homes and office conversions, aiming to ease affordability pressures.
By blending advocacy with data-driven insights, OREB fosters a stable, inclusive market. Its focus on collaboration, innovation, and member education underscores its commitment to shaping a resilient housing future for Ottawa.
