What is the single-family price benchmark in the market guide?
The September 2026 OREB citywide single-family benchmark was $705,100. The geographic scope is Ottawa citywide, so the figure should not be presented as the typical price of a detached home in Kanata Lakes, Beaverbrook or any other local neighbourhood.

What does the market guide say about apartment prices?
The September 2026 OREB citywide apartment benchmark was $380,800. It is citywide context and does not establish the price of a particular Kanata condominium, which requires property-specific evidence.
