Ottawa
Ottawa is a stable public-sector and technology market with lower volatility, strong tenant quality and slower liquidity than Canada's two global gateways. In the Canada beta page it should be read as a practical diligence market, not a headline destination: tenant depth, local regulation, exit liquidity and building-level permissions decide the outcome. Demand is mainly supported by Federal government employment, Technology corridor, Universities, while the investor case is strongest as a selective buy-and-hold allocation. For Israeli buyers, the key is to verify title, bank/KYC, tax registration, local property management and STR legality before relying on gross yield. The row therefore uses conservative sourced fields and keeps unsupported STR yield cells null rather than inventing performance.

All articles →CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — October 2026
The board barely moved: twenty-one of twenty-nine markets are unchanged, and the three that crossed two points did so because our own readings changed, not because anything happened in those markets. The top is now a three-way tie — Estonia 74.6, Poland 74.3, Slovenia 74.3 — with three tenths of a point between first and third.
CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — September 2026
The Score did not move: no market changed by even half a point, and Estonia edged past Poland into #1 by 0.20 — inside the noise. What moved was the cost of money, and in opposite directions: New Zealand and Korea raised, Israel cut, Canada held, and 12-month Euribor crossed 3%. House prices rose in 25 of the 27 markets we can price for 2025, led by Hungary at +18.3%; only Canada and New Zealand fell.
Q2 2026 Investor Briefing
Our quarterly cross-market briefing: twenty-nine markets, the cost of borrowing as a foreign buyer, cycle position, tax by nationality, and the CASABROVA Score.
Global Investor Briefing — May 2026
Scores were stable this month — the real stories are a generational currency window for shekel buyers, Greece emerging as a withdrawal candidate while Spain surprisingly holds at peak, and three markets moving from correction into recovery.
Market Review — Ottawa
Canada is investable only with a regulatory map open on the desk. The macro and legal base are strong, but federal foreign-buyer rules, provincial taxes and municipal STR limits can change the deal economics quickly.
The practical path is city-specific: Toronto and Vancouver are liquidity markets with heavy policy friction; Calgary, Ottawa and selected secondary cities may be cleaner for yield. CAD/ILS exposure should be modelled because FX can erase several years of net rent.
CASABROVA treats Canada as a quality market with policy drag. Buy only after counsel confirms eligibility, local tax surcharges and tenancy enforcement timing.
