A good friend of mine wants to sell his condo in the beginning of the new year.

He tells me he wants to catch the ‘sales wave’ to make sure he throws his condo in the market at the best possible time, when buyers are out in the masses and he can target the largest and most active market.

I point him to the Ottawa Real Estate Board Sales Statistics, and show him a Trends Analysis for the Ottawa Condo Class…

Here is the wave of activity:

I would advise him to get prepared in January and February, then make his jump in late Feb/early March.

Get it?

On the other side, if you miss the tail end of the Fall wave, you might have to wait for the next one in the Spring!

Cheers
