The 4.3-point gap between segments reveals where buyer leverage is forming before headline prices move. Ottawa's August 2026 sales-to-new-listings ratio fell to 47.3% citywide while apartments recorded 43.0%, a 4.3-point gap that signals weaker absorption in the condo segment even as composite benchmark prices held near flat. This divergence matters because it identifies where buyer leverage is emerging before it shows up in headline price indices.
