Barrhaven is seeing strong demand as families are priced out of Kanata and central Ottawa. Inventory has loosened slightly with new construction completions in Half Moon Bay and Longfields areas. The $600K–$800K segment (townhomes and entry-level detached) is particularly competitive. Look for continued growth near transit corridors and retail nodes.
