If you own a home in Fairway Hills and you're still going off your last city assessment, you're probably working with a number that doesn't reflect what's happening on the ground today. Here's the real picture.
The two property types in our neighbourhood are telling very different stories right now, and it's worth knowing which one you're sitting in.
Houses: The market is steady, but buyers are in the driver's seat. The average sale price came in at $585,000, and homes are selling for about 97.5% of list price - meaning sellers are giving up a bit of ground to close the deal. Properties are sitting for an average of 74 days, which is slow. On the Kingston leaderboard, Fairway Hills houses rank 5 out of 5 for days-on-market. That's the slowest of the slow. Price-wise, we sit at 5 out of 7 neighbourhoods - below average for Kingston. Growth ranks 29 out of 44. Not the bottom, but not a number to brag about at a backyard barbecue either.
Condos: This is where things get more interesting for us. Condo values have moved up 6.19% recently, and the predicted market value of $522,288 is actually climbing above the 3-month moving average of $497,451. That's a positive trend. On the Kingston growth leaderboard, Fairway Hills condos rank 16 out of 44 - above average. If you own a condo here, that's a number worth paying attention to.
Here's the thing about city assessments - they're a snapshot from the past. By the time that number lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual sales data and current market signals. It's the difference between checking yesterday's weather and stepping outside right now.
For house owners in Fairway Hills, the HonestDoor Price sits at $820,077. That's a live number. The predicted market value for houses is $814,102, which is already dipping below the 3-month moving average of $829,911. That gap is a signal - values are softening slightly, and waiting for your next assessment to catch up could mean making decisions based on a number that's already out of date.
For condo owners, the HonestDoor Price is $513,235, and the trend is actually pointing upward. The predicted value of $522,288 is beating the 3-month average. If you've been on the fence about what your unit is worth, right now is a good moment to check.
Compared to nearby neighbourhoods, Fairway Hills houses are priced well above Polson Park ($585,939), Portsmouth ($662,115), and Collins Bay Penitentiary ($415,740). We're the priciest house market in that group. For condos, Portsmouth actually comes in higher at $709,470, but we're well above Polson Park ($291,231) and Collins Bay Penitentiary ($267,710).
If you own a house in Fairway Hills and you're thinking about listing this summer, go in with clear eyes. Buyers are negotiating - homes are closing below list price, and 74 days on market means you need patience and the right price from day one. Overpricing right now is a real risk. The market will not bail you out.
That said, the rental story is strong. A 5.03% rental yield on houses is genuinely solid. If selling isn't urgent, holding and renting is a real option worth running the numbers on. Estimated rent of $3,651 per month gives you something to work with.
If you own a condo, the picture is a bit brighter. Values are trending up, growth ranks above average for Kingston, and the rental yield of 3.79% is moderate but respectable. You're not in a rush, but the momentum is on your side if you do decide to move.
Bottom line - before you call an agent or make any move, pull your HonestDoor Price. It takes 30 seconds and gives you a real-world anchor for every conversation that follows. Your city assessment is not that anchor right now.
