Why these five neighborhoods made it through the recession with flying colours and why everyone should keep a close eye on these hot Ottawa areas.
The five Recession Proof Hoods:
The Glebe
New Edinburgh
Rockcliffe Park
TODAY’S FEATURED NEIGHBOURHOOD: Rothwell Heights
WHY: Because although it’s tempting to describe Rothwell Heights as a poor man’s Rockcliffe, there are benefits: lower house prices and much larger lots, to name two. Rothwell Heights also boasts the same village atmosphere and absence of commercialization. There is the sense that people here are pleased to be a bit isolated from life’s challenges and troubles. People want to live in neighbourhoods like Rothwell Heights – if they can afford it – forever. (Just 19 houses sold on Multiple Listing Service last year.) The average sale price of $716,763 was up 9.6 per cent over the previous year, a jum of about $62,000.

Ottawa Condo Expert Video
Enjoy this exclusive video tour of the Soho Parkway by Marnie Bennett- The Ottawa Condo Expert!
Before we introduce you to SoHo Parkway, the building and its many amenities, let us first describe your new neighbours – because it is our belief that the exciting new Ottawa condominium community that is soon to emerge at SoHo Parkway will attract a crowd notable for their zest for living life at warp speed. Possibly more than its convenient location, or its stunning architecture, or its benchmark fitness, entertainment, party and business facilities, or its hotel managed services, it’s the SoHo Condominium owners who will be this building’s biggest draw. Folks who love to work hard and play hard. They love nature and fitness, and the location next to the Capital Pathway fulfills their desire for the active outdoors life. The Dalton Brown Gym is unlike anything in any other condominium project. To see what we mean you only have to visit the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel.
This is the first of many online video's about Ottawa's Condo Market.

Steady As She Goes Part 4
Why these five neighbourhoods made it through the recession with flying colours and why everyone should keep a close eye on these hot Ottawa areas. Make sure to visit my blog next week to learn why the final of the five, will also stand strong for years to come.
The five Recession Proof Hoods:
The Glebe
New Edinburgh
TODAY’S FEATURED NEIGHBOURHOOD: ROCKCLIFFE PARK
Why:
Because it’s the standard by which all other real estate in Ottawa is measured. Land here can sell for up to $3 million an acre, and they are not making any more of it, which is why Rockcliffe’s astronomical prices are expected to hold steady. Houses in Rockcliffe may be worth up to $11.8 million. That’s the latest assessment on socialite Marlene Cowpland’s too-modern-for-some home. Prices are highest west of McKay Lake. There, average sale price on the Multiple Listing Service rose 10.4 per cent last year. To $1,447,714. East of the lake, average sale price fell 24.8 per cent to $838,154. But in Rockcliffe, such stats can be misleading because of the small number of houses sold.

Steady As She Goes,
Why these five neighborhoods made it through the recession with flying colours and why everyone should keep a close eye on these hot Ottawa areas.
The five Recession Proof Hoods:
The Glebe
TODAY’S FEATURED NEIGHBOURHOOD: New Edinburgh
Why:
Because New Edinburgh has it all, plus houses cachet. Architecturally speaking, much of Ottawa’s history is here. Once modest 19th-century houses sell for half a million and up. Way up. The neighbourhood has far more character than its much pricier neighbor, Rockcliffe, plus top private schools close by, quality shops along Beechwood Avenue, and superb parks along the river and around Rideau Hall. New Edinburgh is equally attractive to young and old. And it’s just a good walk to the Byward Market. Property is priciest on the Rideau Hall side of Dufferin Street. There, the average sale price shot up 27.6 per cent last year to $593,684. Between Dufferin and Beechwood, the average house price has increased 8.1 per cent to$450,677.
