If you live in Cataraqui North and haven't checked your home's value lately, here's the honest picture. The market is doing two very different things depending on what you own - and that gap matters for your wallet.
The average HonestDoor Price for a house in our neighbourhood sits at $715,717. That's up a hair - 0.11% from last period - but the 3-month moving average tells a more cautious story. The predicted market value of $714,913 is actually running below that $721,550 moving average, and values have dipped 0.79% recently. The market isn't crashing - it's taking a breather.
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, houses in Cataraqui North rank 23 out of 45 comparable Kingston neighbourhoods for growth. That's middle of the pack. Not a star performer right now, but not falling behind either.
That 5.22% rental yield is worth pausing on. For anyone thinking about holding a house as an investment, that number puts Cataraqui North in solid territory compared to a lot of what we see across the city.
Here's where it gets interesting. Condos in Cataraqui North are quietly outperforming. The predicted market value is $560,658 - and that's running well above the 3-month moving average of $510,091. Values have moved up 15.44% recently. That is not a typo.
On the leaderboard, condos rank 9 out of 44 comparable Kingston neighbourhoods. Top quartile. If you own a condo here, that number deserves your attention.
The average HonestDoor Price shows a 1.86% dip from last period, but the predicted value and the 3-month trend are pointing upward. That short-term dip and the longer momentum are telling different stories - and the longer trend is the one worth watching.
Here's the thing about your city assessment - it's a snapshot from the past. By the time it lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved on. In a neighbourhood like ours where condo values have shifted 15% and house values are fluctuating month to month, a static government number can leave you seriously misinformed about what your property is actually worth today.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using current sales data. It's the real-world check against an assessment that might be a year or more out of date. If you're making any decision - refinancing, selling, even just understanding your net worth - you want the number that reflects today, not last year.
Compared to nearby neighbourhoods, Cataraqui North houses are priced above Waterloo Village ($557,740), Cataraqui Westbrook ($638,667), and Sutton Mills ($572,418). For condos, the same pattern holds - our neighbourhood sits above all three on average price. Knowing where we stand on that map is exactly the kind of context a tax assessment will never give you.
If you own a house here, the honest advice is this: you're not in a runaway seller's market right now. The recent dip and the middle-of-the-pack growth rank mean pricing it right matters more than ever. Overpricing a house in a flat stretch is how listings go stale. Get your HonestDoor Price, understand where you sit against the moving average, and price with precision.
If you own a condo, the conversation is different. A top-10 growth rank in Kingston and a predicted value climbing above the moving average - that's a decent setup heading into summer. Buyers are still active, and the numbers suggest there's room to have a confident pricing conversation.
Either way, the worst move right now is relying on an old assessment and guessing. Check your HonestDoor Price first. It takes two minutes and it's the most current number you're going to find.
