Now, let’s dive into what happened in the Kingston real estate market in March.

Kingston Home Sales in March 2026

There were 113 residential transactions in Kingston during March.

• This is a noticeable increase from the 90 transactions recorded in February.
• Year-to-date, total transactions sit at 292, which is down 2% compared to the same period last year.

The jump in activity month-over-month is typical as we move out of the slower winter months and into the spring market. While year-to-date numbers are slightly behind 2025, momentum is clearly building.

Average Sale Price in Kingston

The average sale price in March was $586,000.

• This is up from $577,000 in February.
• Year-to-date, the average sale price is $580,000, which is down 8% compared to this time last year.

It’s important to note that this decrease doesn’t necessarily mean individual home values are declining. Instead, it may reflect increased activity in lower price ranges, which can bring down the overall average.

As more listings hit the market in spring, we’ll get a clearer picture of pricing trends across different property types.

Days on Market

Homes in Kingston spent an average of 37 days on the market in March.

• This is down from 43 days in February, indicating that homes are selling more quickly.
• Year-to-date, the average sits at 45 days, which is up 20% compared to the same period last year.

While homes moved faster in March, the year-to-date increase suggests that buyers are still taking a bit more time compared to last year.

As always, this metric isn’t perfect — listings that are cancelled and re-listed reset their time on market. What it does show is how quickly well-priced and well-prepared homes are selling in current conditions.

Months of Inventory

Kingston finished March with four months of inventory.

• This is unchanged from February
• It also matches inventory levels from the same time last year

Four months of inventory continues to signal a balanced market, where neither buyers nor sellers have a clear upper hand.

Key Takeaway from March’s Market

The biggest shift this month is the increase in activity combined with faster sales timelines.

March marked a clear transition out of the slower winter pace, with more buyers entering the market and homes selling more quickly. At the same time, the year-to-date dip in average sale price highlights how important it is to look beyond headline numbers and understand what’s driving them.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

As we move deeper into the spring market, conditions in Kingston are becoming more active, but still relatively balanced.

For buyers, this means:

• More options coming to market
• A bit more competition than earlier in the year
• The need to act decisively on well-priced homes

For sellers, this reinforces:

• The importance of strong presentation and pricing
• The opportunity to take advantage of increasing buyer activity
• The benefit of launching at the right time as momentum builds

Looking Ahead

With spring now underway, we can expect continued growth in listings and buyer activity over the coming months.

As always, understanding how these trends apply to your specific situation is key. Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on the market.
