Builders, sales people and industry partners gathered for a breakfast buffet to listen to industry experts, including Cheryl Rice, president of PMA Brethour Realty Group’s Ottawa Division, who provided her insight into what is ahead for the Ottawa housing market, as well as a recap of the market in 2019. Other speakers included Bonnie Peterson, account manager at Genworth Canada, who spoke about what the needs of the average new-home buyer are and the type of properties these homebuyers are looking for, and Peter Comyns, vice-president of sales and the national director of education for PMA Brethour Realty.
