Ottawa’s most expensive home for sale is a $9.99-million modern house in Rothwell Heights with Gatineau Hills views, priced at more than twice the next listing. After it, the capital’s top 10 falls into a tight band between $3.2 million and $4.25 million, spread from the Rideau River in North Gower to Wellington Village, Greely and Kanata.
That puts Ottawa’s luxury market well below the country’s top tier; our national list starts at $31.5 million. CREA reported last month that national home sales had stalled for a fourth straight month, and the Bank of Canada makes its next rate decision Oct. 28.
How we built this list: We ranked detached houses within the City of Ottawa by asking price, using active listings on REW.ca checked individually on Oct. 1, 2026. A $5.05-million, 15-unit Sandy Hill apartment building and a $3.5-million mixed-use building in Old Ottawa East are excluded because they are income properties, not single-family homes. None of these listings has a publicly reported celebrity or public-figure owner.
A note on photos: listing photo galleries belong to the brokerages and photographers who made them, so we do not republish them. Each entry links to the full listing, where you can see the real home. Images in this story are file photos, not the listed properties.
