The Dust Has Settled: Why Now Is the Time to Buy at The Docks at Mooney’s Bay

The 2025 Canadian federal election is behind us and today marks one month of a new chapter for the country.  

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Mark Carney, the Liberal Party secured a minority government with 169 out of 343 seats—just three sats shy of a majority. This outcome brings a renewed focus on housing affordability and economic stability, key issues that resonate with many Canadians.  

It’s understandable that many prospective buyers chose to pause their home search during the campaign. For some, it felt like too much was up in the air with questions surrounding housing policy, potential tax changes, and the overall economic outlook, waiting for clarity made sense.  

These are valid concerns, and we respect that many individuals and families were waiting for clarity before making one of life’s biggest decisions: buying a home.

Now that the dust has settled, we can move forward with renewed confidence.  

What the Election Results Mean for Homebuyers

The Liberal platform made housing a central issue, with a strong focus on affordability and supply. Among the most significant promises is the proposed removal or reduction of GST on new homes priced under $1 million for first-time buyers — an initiative that could lower the cost of ownership for many Canadians.

This move, along with the government’s commitment to increasing housing supply, supporting new builds, and stabilizing the economy offers much needed reassurance to homebuyers who were previously hesitant to act. With a clearer federal direction in place, we expect greater stability in the market and improved conditions for home buyers and even builders.

Why The Docks at Mooney’s Bay Stands Out

With the federal election no longer a roadblock, the focus now shifts to where and what to buy. The Docks at Mooney’s Bay offers one of the most compelling opportunities in Ottawa’s housing market today.  

Here’s why:

• Modern, New Homes  
  
  • Our condos and townhomes at The Docks blend modern architecture with stylish, open-concept interiors. Designed with both comfort and functionality in mind, each home features high-quality finishes and layouts that complement today’s lifestyle. Buying new means less upkeep, no renovations, and the ease of moving into a home that’s ready for you from day one — a long-term investment in comfort, convenience, and lasting value.

• Unbeatable Location
  
  • The Docks is situated just steps from the water at Mooney’s Bay, one of Ottawa’s most scenic and active waterfront areas. With access to beaches, walking and cycling paths, and the Rideau River, it’s a rare opportunity to enjoy natural beauty and recreational amenities — all within minutes of downtown Ottawa and just 10 minutes from the airport.

• Investment Potential
  
  • With limited waterfront properties available in Ottawa, buying in a new, growing community is a strategic move. With the market expected to stabilize and potentially strengthen under the new government, acting now allows buyers to secure their home at today’s pricing, with future appreciation on the horizon.

• Well-Connected, Low-Stress Living
  
  • Residents enjoy proximity to major roads, transit, shopping, and services — with the added benefit of a peaceful, residential setting. The Docks strikes the balance between city access and waterfront tranquility.

Move Forward with Confidence

We recognize that for many buyers, the election was a waiting period that offered time to pause and reassess. Now that the results are in and the country is moving forward, it may be the right time for buyers to revisit those plans with clarity and purpose.

The Docks at Mooney’s Bay offers an exceptional opportunity to purchase a new home in a well-located, thoughtfully designed community. With government incentives expected to improve affordability, and with interest rates projected to stabilize or improve, this is an ideal window to make your move.
