Hi Ottawa,

For those of you that are new to condo shopping in Ottawa are probably shocked by the price of parking spots.  Generally condo parking spots in Ottawa go for around $30,000 and are often available only to the larger, or more expensive units. Builders generally don't have enough parking spots for every unit in the building.  And while $30,000 may seem like a lot compared to your free parking spot in the suburbs compared to Toronto it's quite reasonable.  Parking spot pricing in condos have been rising in price significantly across Canada over the past decade or so, with Toronto taking the prize for most expensive parking according to the article from moneyville.ca.  Surprisingly Vancouver is much more affordable for parking with average prices hovering around $30,000.  Here is the full article:
