First-Time Buyer Tips in Ottawa’s Market

by Mehdi Cheddadi

Buying your first home in Ottawa? Here’s what you need to know to make smart moves:

  1. Get Pre-Approved First – Know your budget before you even peek at listings. It’ll save you time and heartbreak.
  2. Explore All Areas – You might love the look of Westboro but discover Orleans fits your budget and lifestyle better.
  3. Factor in Extra Costs – Land transfer taxes, closing costs, and inspections can add up. Be ready.
  4. Work With a Realtor You Trust – A good agent (hi, I’m Mehdi!) helps you avoid common mistakes and protects your interest.
  5. Think Long-Term – Buy what fits today and tomorrow. Consider resale value, school zones, and commute times.
