Fairway Hills, Kingston - September 2026 Real Estate Report

Fairway Hills, Kingston: What Your Neighbours Aren't Telling You About Home Values Right Now

The Vibe in Fairway Hills

If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs on your street and wondering what's actually going on, here's the honest read. Fairway Hills is holding its ground, but the market is clearly taking a breather. Prices aren't crashing - they're just asking you to be patient and strategic.

Let's break it down by property type, because houses and condos are telling two different stories right now.

Houses: Steady, But Buyers Have the Upper Hand

The average HonestDoor Price for a house in Fairway Hills sits at $808,145, up a modest 0.40% from last period. That's not a fireworks show, but it's not a slide either. The real-world sales picture is a bit more grounded - the average sale price came in at $585,000, with listings averaging $599,900 this month.

• Average sale price: $585,000
• Average list price: $599,900
• Price per square foot: $532
• Sale-to-list ratio: 97.52% - buyers are paying below asking
• Average days on market: 74 days
• Predicted market value: $804,901
• 3-month moving average: $813,027 (values are dipping slightly)
• Rental yield: 5.05% - that's a strong return if you're holding
• Estimated monthly rent: $3,611

Seventy-four days on market is a long time. On the Kingston leaderboard, Fairway Hills houses rank 8 out of 8 for days-on-market - meaning we are the slowest-selling neighbourhood in the comparison group right now. That's not a panic signal, but it is a signal. Buyers know they have options and they're using that leverage. The 97.52% sale-to-list ratio confirms it - if you're pricing at the top, expect a negotiation.

On the growth leaderboard, houses rank 21 out of 44 neighbourhoods in Kingston - technically above average, but sitting right in the middle of the pack. Not leading the charge, not falling behind. And on price, we rank 5 out of 7 in our comparison group, which puts us below average in price relative to similar Kingston neighbourhoods.

Condos: A Quiet Climb With a Catch

Condo owners have something to feel good about - the HonestDoor Price for condos in Fairway Hills is $521,811, up 2.53% from last period. That's a more meaningful bump than what houses are seeing. But the predicted market value tells a slightly different story at $508,930, which is dipping below the 3-month moving average of $514,818.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $521,811 (up 2.53%)
• Predicted market value: $508,930
• 3-month moving average: $514,818
• Recent value change: -0.84%
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,506
• Rental yield: 3.81% - moderate, but workable
• Airbnb estimate: $129 per night

On the Kingston growth leaderboard, Fairway Hills condos rank 35 out of 44 - that puts us in below-average territory for growth. If you own a condo here and you've been assuming it's quietly appreciating, this is worth a second look.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment

Here's the thing about your city assessment - it's a snapshot from the past. It doesn't know what sold on your block last month. It doesn't adjust when the market shifts. It's basically a photograph of a market that no longer exists.

The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It pulls from actual sales, current listing data, and neighbourhood trends. Right now, the HonestDoor Price for houses in Fairway Hills is $808,145 - and the predicted value is $804,901. That gap between what the city thinks your home is worth and what a buyer would actually pay today? That's the number that matters when you're making a real decision.

If your tax assessment is sitting well below $800,000, you may be sitting on more equity than you realize. If it's inflated, you need to know that before you price a listing. Either way, the HonestDoor Price is your real-world check - not a government document that gets updated every few years.

The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

Straight talk: this is not a seller's market right now. Seventy-four days on market and a 97.52% sale-to-list ratio tell you that buyers are taking their time and negotiating hard. That doesn't mean you shouldn't sell - it means you need to go in with the right number from day one.

Overpricing in this market is the fastest way to sit on a listing all summer. Homes that are priced sharp are still moving. Homes that are priced on hope are collecting days-on-market stats that work against you in future negotiations.

A few things to keep in mind if you're planning to list:

• Check your HonestDoor Price first - it reflects what the market is actually doing, not what it was doing two years ago
• The predicted house value of $804,901 is slightly above nearby Portsmouth at $732,074 - Fairway Hills has a real price advantage over some neighbours
• If you're a condo owner, the 2.53% HonestDoor Price increase is a positive sign, but the growth rank of 35 out of 44 means the momentum isn't strong enough to wait indefinitely
• Rental yield of 5.05% on houses means holding and renting is a legitimate option if selling conditions don't feel right
• Airbnb potential ranks 11th in Kingston for houses - not the top of the list, but a real income option if you're flexible

Bottom line: Fairway Hills is a solid neighbourhood with real equity for homeowners. But the summer market will reward sellers who price honestly and move decisively. Know your number before you plant that sign.
