The November real estate market across Kingston & Area showed the typical late-fall slowdown, with fewer new listings, softer sales activity, and stable-to-shifting prices depending on the community. Below is a clear, factual breakdown of what happened across Kingston, Loyalist Township, Amherstview, Bath, Odessa, Greater Napanee, Stone Mills, Gananoque, and Frontenac County.

KAREA Overview

Across the Kingston and Area Real Estate Association region:

• Average price: $612,972 (down 1.6% from October)

• New listings: Down 43.5%

• Active listings: Down 13.3%

• Unit sales: 185 (down 25.4% month-over-month)

Inventory tightened significantly, and prices held relatively steady as we moved into winter.

Kingston

Kingston’s market slowed compared to October:

• Average price: $605,911 (down 4.4%)

• New listings: Down 41.5%

• Active listings: Down 7.4%

• Average days on market: 27

• Unit sales: 103 (down 18.9%)

Well-priced homes continued to sell, with less competition for sellers due to the lower volume of new listings.

Loyalist Township

Loyalist was one of the strongest-performing communities this month:

• Average price: $646,164 (up 13.2% from last month)

• New listings: Down 44.4%

• Active listings: Down 16.2%

• Average days on market: 18

• Unit sales: 23 (up 4.5%)

Community Breakdown

• Amherstview: 11 sales, average price $621,071

• Bath: 5 sales, average price $601,600

• Odessa: 2 sales, average price $448,500

• Rural Loyalist: sales occurred but no published average

Homes moved quickly across the township, and limited inventory contributed to strong pricing.

Greater Napanee

Napanee saw rising prices but fewer sales:

• Average price: $567,308 (up 3.7%)

• New listings: Down 41.8%

• Active listings: Down 12.6%

• Average days on market: 43

• Unit sales: 13 (down 45.8%)

The increase in average price reflects the mix of homes sold rather than a broad market shift.

Stone Mills

With limited rural inventory, Stone Mills remained steady:

• Average price: $649,414 (down 5%)

• New listings: Down 68.2%

• Active listings: Down 24.1%

• Average days on market: 43

• Unit sales: 7 (unchanged from last month)

Low sales volume means monthly averages can fluctuate based on the types of homes sold.

Gananoque

Gananoque saw significant shifts due to very low sales volume:

• Average price: $612,500 (up 23.5%)

• New listings: Down 55.2%

• Active listings: Down 15.6%

• Average days on market: 36

• Unit sales: 4 (down 63.6%)

With just a handful of sales, averages can swing sharply month to month.

Frontenac County

Frontenac’s broader rural market cooled as expected for late fall:

• Average price: $566,592 (down 14.1%)

• New listings: Down 32%

• Active listings: Down 17.7%

• Average days on market: 43

• Unit sales: 23 (down 45.2%)

The diversity of properties—waterfront, rural, and recreational—often produces variable monthly averages.

What This Means for Buyers

• There’s more negotiating room in many communities.

• Inventory is tightening, so act quickly if you see a home that fits.

• Loyalist Township remains competitive, with fast-moving listings.

• Pre-approvals continue to be essential in this market.

What This Means for Sellers

• Reduced listing volume means your home faces less competition.

• Serious buyers are still actively searching across the region.

• Strategic pricing is key as we move into the winter season.

• Homes in Loyalist Township and Kingston are attracting the strongest attention.

What Buyers Should Know Right Now

• Prices are rising in several communities despite higher inventory—meaning waiting may not pay off.

• Homes that are well-priced are selling quickly (especially in Frontenac, Gananoque, and Kingston).

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment, this fall market offers favourable conditions.

What Sellers Should Know

• Buyers are active, but selective. Presentation, pricing, and marketing matter more than ever.

• Inventory is trending up, so your home needs to stand out to attract the right audience.

• Several communities (Frontenac, Gananoque, parts of Kingston) are showing price strength heading into winter.

If you’re considering listing in November or early 2026, preparing now is a smart move.

Prices Dip in Some Areas, Loyalist Township Still Hot

The July 2025 Kingston real estate market is showing signs of change — with prices dipping in some areas, rural inventory rising, and certain communities, like Loyalist Township, still seeing strong demand. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, understanding these shifts in the Kingston & Area housing market will help you make your next move with confidence.

Kingston & Area Housing Market Overview – July 2025

According to the Kingston & Area Real Estate Association (KAREA):

•  812 new listings — up almost 10% from July 2024

•  Average sale price: $595,000 — down 3.5% from last year

• ⏳ Average days on market: 44 — up 13% from 2024

What this means: Buyers have more properties to choose from and more negotiating power. Sellers may need to adjust pricing and marketing strategies to attract offers in this evolving Ontario housing market.

Kingston, Ontario Real Estate Market

In Kingston proper:

• 174 homes sold in July — nearly unchanged from last year

• Average sale price: $636,000 — down 1%

• Average days on market: 38 — up 26% from July 2024

 Takeaway for Kingston sellers: Price competitively and prepare for longer selling times.
 For Kingston buyers: This is a good time to negotiate, especially if you’re pre-approved and ready to move quickly.

Loyalist Township Real Estate Trends

Loyalist Township continues to outperform other local markets:

• 32 homes sold — up 39% from July 2024

• Average sale price: $611,000 — up 5%

• Days on market: 46 — slightly faster than last year

 Why Loyalist is hot: Proximity to Kingston, family-friendly communities in Amherstview and Bath, and relatively affordable prices are drawing buyers from across Ontario. If you’re selling in Loyalist Township, now is a strong window to list.

Greater Napanee Real Estate Market

The Napanee housing market is cooling:

• 26 sales — down almost 19% from last year

• Average sale price: $493,000 — down nearly 9%

• Days on market: 40 — faster than last year but still buyer-friendly

• Average sale price: $455,000 — down 34%

• Average listing price: $1.06M — up 55% (a large gap between list and sale prices)

⚠️ Insight: Overpricing is keeping homes on the market longer (56 days on average). Sellers should price realistically to attract buyers.

Frontenac County Real Estate – South, Central & North

Rural Frontenac saw a huge rise in new inventory:

• Average sale price: $599,000 — down 12.4% year-over-year

• 58 total sales in July

• Average days on market: 51

 Buyer’s advantage: With more rural homes and waterfront properties available, it’s a good time to shop for cottages, year-round homes, and investment properties in Frontenac County.

What This Means for Kingston & Area Buyers, Sellers, and Investors

For Buyers:

• More listings and longer days on market = stronger negotiating position

• Focus on cooling markets like Napanee and Stone Mills for value opportunities

• Get pre-approved to act quickly in competitive areas like Loyalist Township

For Sellers:

• Price smart — the first two weeks are critical for attracting offers

• Invest in staging, professional photography, and strong marketing

• Be prepared for longer market times in Kingston, Napanee, and rural areas

For Investors:

• Look for underpriced properties in slower markets

• Rural Frontenac offers potential for vacation rentals and long-term holds

• Rising inventory could mean better deals this fall

Bottom Line – Kingston Real Estate Market July 2025

The Kingston & Area real estate market is moving toward a more balanced state. Loyalist Township is still competitive, but many other communities are shifting toward buyer-friendly conditions.

If you're in Kingston or the surrounding area and thinking about buying or selling real estate, this market update is for you.

February 2025. It was a month. It brought some big shifts in the local housing market, and with economic uncertainties, tariffs and elections, things are getting even more interesting. Stick around for the full breakdown, and don't forget to like, subscribe, and drop a comment on what you think the future holds for Kingston Real Estate.

In the city of Kingston, it was a slow month. Home sales were down 20% with 105 properties sold, and the average selling price dropped 7% to 606,000. Year to date, that average selling price is down 2.5%. However, lower prices have homes selling faster, with an average of 35 days on the market compared to 43 in 2024, and new listings are up 14%. So there's a lot more for buyers to choose from.

Gananoque is kind of fun. There were only eight homes that sold, but the average selling price was 1.2 million. So, does this mean that housing values have skyrocketed again? Well, no. One of those eight houses sold for 6.1 million, which is extraordinary. The stat that's probably better to look at in Gananoque is the median selling price, what was right in the middle, and that's 472,500. So, Gananoque is still an affordable option.

There's good news in Loyalist Township, even though the number of properties that sold dropped by 30%, the average selling price of 588,000 is up 6.72% in the month of February and up 4.8% year to date, and the average days on market in Loyalist has dropped from 56 to 27. So, homes are selling quickly.

In Greater Napanee. It was pretty much a flat month with 22 homes sold, which is exactly the same as in 2024. And the average selling price of 495,000 is pretty flat with last year. The difference is homes, as we're seeing across the board, are selling a little bit more quickly as buyers are coming to the market. So, in Napanee, on average, homes were on the market for 44 days.

South Frontenac has been slow to move, with a 20% decrease in the number of homes sold at 12, but the average selling prices increased by 11% to 525,000. This is the slowest market in the region right now at 61 days average on the market, and some of that may have to do with winter weather. Most of the homes in South Frontenac are rural homes, and we're expecting that that market's going to pick up now that the snow is starting to melt.

In Stone Mills, the number of properties sold was 12, which was a 20% increase over last year, but a 27% increase in the average selling price at 596,000 and a 50% decrease in the number of days on the market at 36.

So what does this mean for you? So, let's talk about what's affecting the market beyond our numbers. So there's tariff uncertainty and new trade policies and supply chain cost concerns are likely going to make home construction more expensive, which leads to higher home prices. It's a concern for buyers, it's a concern for builders. We've just had an election and there's another one that's coming in. Political uncertainty always plays a role. There are potential policy changes that could impact mortgage rates, affordability programs, and tax incentives for home buyers. And while interest rates have been dropping, we're anxious to see what happens when the Bank of Canada makes its announcement on March 12th.

So what does this mean for you? Well, buyers now might be the time to take advantage of some softer prices and with sellers, as we always say, pricing competitively is key, especially with more listings hitting the market.

The bottom line is that even in uncertain times, life goes on, and jobs change. We have babies, we get married, our circumstances change. So, let's talk about your circumstances and plans and how we can navigate this market together.
