If you live in Alwington, you already know this neighbourhood does not follow the crowd. While the rest of Kingston is playing catch-up, properties here are sitting at a price point that makes your neighbours in Portsmouth and Kingston Penitentiary look twice. Here is what the numbers are actually telling us right now.
Let us start with houses, because that is where most of us live. The average HonestDoor Price for a house in Alwington sits at $1,411,646 - up 1.25% from the previous period. The 3-month moving average is $1,413,267, and the current predicted value is $1,394,278, so yes, houses are taking a small breather right now, down about 1.89% in the short term. That is not a crash - that is a pause. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Alwington houses rank 22 out of 44 in Kingston for growth, which puts us in above-average territory. Not the flashiest number, but solid.
Now condos - this is where things get interesting. The average HonestDoor Price for a condo in Alwington has jumped to $2,642,012, a 123.08% increase from the previous period. The predicted market value is $1,184,308, up 22.70% recently, and climbing above the 3-month moving average of $1,061,126. On the leaderboard, Alwington condos rank 1st out of 44 in Kingston for growth. That is not a typo. First place.
Compare that to our neighbours. Queens comes in at $1,075,976 for houses and $903,210 for condos. Portsmouth sits at $642,592 for houses. Kingston Penitentiary is at $581,350. We are not in the same conversation as those neighbourhoods on price - and the gap is wide.
Here is the thing about your city assessment - it is a snapshot from the past. It does not know about the 22.70% condo surge happening right now. It does not know that Alwington holds the number one Airbnb ranking in all of Kingston. It is working with old data while the market is moving in real time.
The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check. It pulls current market signals - recent sales, rental demand, short-term rental performance - and gives you a live number, not a government estimate that could be a year or two behind. If you are making any financial decision about your property - refinancing, selling, even just understanding your net worth - the HonestDoor Price is the number you should be looking at first.
For condo owners especially, the gap between what the city thinks your place is worth and what the market is actually doing right now could be significant. A 123.08% increase in the average HonestDoor Price is not something a static assessment will reflect anytime soon.
If you own a condo in Alwington, the timing conversation is worth having seriously. Ranking first in Kingston for growth, with a predicted value climbing above its own 3-month average, means momentum is on your side right now. Buyers looking at condos in Queens or Portsmouth are seeing prices well below what Alwington commands - and that gap creates real urgency for buyers who want this neighbourhood specifically.
For house owners, the picture is a little more nuanced. The short-term dip of 1.89% is minor, and a rental yield of 4.38% means holding the property still makes financial sense if you are not in a rush. But with an average price of $1,411,646 and the number one Airbnb ranking in Kingston, you are sitting on an asset that has serious appeal to a specific buyer - one who wants premium, wants location, and is willing to pay for it.
Bottom line - Alwington is not a neighbourhood where you guess. Check your HonestDoor Price, compare it to what the city has on file, and make a decision based on what the market is actually doing today. That is the move.
