Market Snapshot: February 2025
Average Sold Price Adjusts by 4%
The average sold price across all property types in Kingston for February 2025 was $597,908, reflecting a 4% adjustment from $617,000 in February 2024. While prices peaked in mid-2024, the current pricing trends indicate a healthy, balanced market where buyers and sellers can negotiate on fair terms.
Home Sales Show a Slight Decline
A total of 114 homes sold in February, down 15% year-over-year. However, the rise in new listings means fresh inventory is coming onto the market, giving buyers more choices while ensuring sellers still have active demand for their properties.
Inventory & Market Conditions
- 287 New Listings (+26% YoY)
- 449 Active Listings (+69% YoY)
- Sales-to-New Listings Ratio: 40% (Balanced Market)
- Months of Inventory: 3.9 (Slight shift toward buyers)
Key Takeaways for Buyers & Sellers
- Buyers: More inventory means more options and negotiating power. However, well-priced homes are still moving fast, so be prepared to act when you find the right fit.
- Sellers: The market remains active, but pricing and presentation matter more than ever. Homes priced competitively are still selling at 98% of asking price, meaning buyers are engaged but selective.
Detached Homes Spotlight: Strong Activity Despite Adjustments
Detached homes remain a key part of Kingston’s market. Here’s how they performed in February:
Detached Home Prices Down Slightly, But Sales Remain Strong
The average price for a detached home was $670,962, down 5% from $696,000 in February 2024. However, the 99% sale-to-list price ratio indicates that sellers who price their homes correctly are still achieving near-asking offers.

- Average Days on Market: 26 (-37% YoY)
- New Listings: 170
- Active Listings: 239
- Sales-to-New Listings Ratio: 40%
The data suggests a market that remains competitive despite a slight softening in prices. Buyers are benefiting from more inventory, but demand is still high, keeping homes moving quickly.
What This Means for Buyers & Sellers
- Buyers: Detached home prices are slightly lower than last year, and inventory is up. This means more choices and better negotiating leverage, but homes in prime locations are still selling fast.
- Sellers: Despite a small price adjustment, detached homes are still selling in under a month on average. Competitive pricing and strong marketing will help secure top-dollar offers.
