Now let’s take a closer look at what happened in the Kingston real estate market last month.


Kingston Home Sales in February 2026

There were 90 residential transactions in Kingston during February.

  • This is slightly up from the 89 transactions recorded in January.

  • Year to date, Kingston has seen 179 residential transactions, which is up 7% compared to the same period last year.

While the increase month-over-month is small, the year-to-date growth suggests that buyer activity remains steady as we move further into 2026.


Average Sale Price in Kingston

The average sale price in February was $577,000.

  • This is slightly up from the $576,000 average sale price in January.

  • Year to date, the average sale price sits at $577,000, which is down 5% compared to the same period in 2025.

Monthly fluctuations in average sale price can often be influenced by the types of homes that sell — for example, detached homes versus townhomes or condos.

At this stage of the year, the average sale price has remained relatively stable compared to January.


Days on Market

Homes in Kingston spent an average of 43 days on the market in February.

  • This is down from 56 days in January, suggesting homes moved more quickly last month.

  • Year to date, the average days on market sits at 50 days, which is up 24% compared to the same time last year.

This increase year-over-year is one of the more notable trends right now.

It’s also important to understand how this stat works. When a listing is cancelled and re-listed, the days on market counter resets. Because of that, the number isn’t a perfect measurement of how long homes truly sit on the market.

Instead, it gives a better indication of how quickly homes that are priced correctly tend to sell.


Months of Inventory

Kingston finished February with four months of inventory.

  • This is the same level of inventory we saw in January.

  • Year to date, the market is also averaging four months of inventory, which is the same level as this time last year.

Four months of inventory typically indicates a balanced market, where neither buyers nor sellers hold a strong advantage.


Key Takeaway from February’s Market

If there’s one stat standing out this month, it’s the increase in average days on market compared to last year.

While homes sold faster in February than they did in January, overall timelines remain slightly longer than what we saw during the same period in 2025.

Part of this is seasonal, early in the year we often see homes sit a little longer before the spring market picks up. However, the increase also reflects a market where pricing strategy and preparation are becoming increasingly important.

Homes that are positioned well still tend to sell relatively quickly.


What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

As we move further into 2026, the Kingston market continues to show signs of balance.

For buyers, this may mean more time to evaluate options and negotiate thoughtfully.
For sellers, it reinforces the importance of proper preparation, pricing, and presentation before launching a home to market.

Understanding these trends helps both sides make more informed decisions as the year unfolds.
