According to Royal LePage, average house prices are still increasing but at a slower pace than the previous year. It says that the average price of a detached bungalow increased 7.1% to $262,845 (compared with a 6.8% rise in the year-ago period), a standard two-storey increased 5.9% to $318,390 (8.5% the previous year) and a standard condominium increased 6.5% to $183,397 (6.5% in 2004). The report (available here), also says that increased inventory is moderating price increases.
In my Ottawa neighbourhood, I am also noticing that home prices are increasing at a slower rate. Asking prices for homes listed in the MLS database are 3-4% higher now than the year-ago period. Last year, the increases were in the 8% range.
