Ottawa Real Estate Market Snapshot: February 2022
The February 2022 Ottawa Real Estate Board Stats are out!
Market Snapshot: It looks like Spring may come early in Ottawa with an increase 52% more transactions in February than in January. The rise in activity could be due to the announcement of upcoming interest rate increases pushing buyers to get into the market before the change. Other factors that could be lending a hand to the rise in transactions: easing of COVID restrictions, opening of the economy, increased demand, increase in inventory.
If you’re considering a move, The Agent DK Team is here to help answer any questions you have, in this market you’ll want a qualified, professional Real Estate Team to protect your interests. Call or message us anytime!
International Women’s Day

Reupholstering Your Furniture
Appreciation for Antiques & Heirlooms
The early pandemic reminded us of our own creativity, forcing us to shop within our own home to refresh our space. Further, it is arguable that the last year made us more open to imperfections, seeing the beauty in the simple things.
With on-going supply chain issues, antiques and heirlooms have transcended beyond a quarantine project and are becoming focal points in home design. In fact, younger generations are showing an appreciation for antiques by seeking out one-of-a-kind items at second-hand furniture stores. If not second-hand, many homeowners are seeking furniture with a certain lived-in appeal.
Not to mention, this new appreciation for antique furniture and decor is keeping in line with the theme of sustainability. Antiques are starting to be celebrated as the ultimate “green resource” in the furniture industry.
In 2022 we will see homeowners choose quality over quantity in home design. We will see a preference for unique pieces that tell a story. Something to surround yourself with for decades.
Do you have furniture in your home that you would like to breathe new life into? Consider reupholstering your furniture for a fresh and updated look.
Hello March
“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.” ― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations.
