September brought some interesting changes to the Kingston real estate market!
While sales activity remained fairly steady, we saw an increase in the number of homes available for sale, giving buyers more options and creating more competition for sellers.
The average sale price was down compared to this time last year, although benchmark home prices remained relatively stable. This shows why it's important to look beyond the overall averages, as market conditions can vary depending on property type and location.
