If you live in Henderson and you haven't checked your home's value lately, here's the honest truth - the city's tax assessment is probably not telling you the full story. The market has been moving, and the gap between what the city thinks your place is worth and what a buyer will actually pay is real. Let's break it down.
Henderson is a split story this month, and it depends entirely on what you own.
Houses: We're in a genuine sellers' market here. The one house that sold this month went for 104% of its list price - meaning the buyer paid above asking. That's not a fluke, that's a signal. Properties are moving fast too, averaging just 17 days on the market, which ranks us number 1 out of 5 comparable neighbourhoods in Kingston for speed. When houses are flying off the shelf that quickly, sellers have the leverage.
That affordability ranking is actually a feature, not a flaw. For buyers priced out of Reddendale (where houses average $1,228,009) or even Auden Park ($643,852), Henderson at $604,050 is where the value is. We're the smart buy on the west side of Kingston right now.
Condos: This is where things get interesting. The HonestDoor Price for condos jumped 3.59% recently, hitting $245,695. And on the neighbourhood leaderboard? Henderson condos rank 6th out of 44 comparable neighbourhoods in Kingston for growth. That puts us firmly in the top performers category. If you own a condo here, that's a number worth paying attention to.
One note of caution on condos - the predicted market value of $237,171 is sitting below the 3-month moving average of $399,200. That gap is worth watching. It suggests some short-term softness even as the longer trend looks strong. Don't panic, but do stay informed.
Here's the thing about city assessments - they're snapshots from the past. By the time the city mails you that paper, the market has already moved on. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual sales data and current market conditions. It's the difference between checking yesterday's weather and looking out your window right now.
For houses in Henderson, the HonestDoor Price sits at $604,050. The predicted market value from current modelling is $609,707 - and that number is ticking upward from the 3-month moving average of $609,661. These aren't big swings, but they're moving in the right direction. Your city assessment almost certainly doesn't reflect any of this.
For condo owners, the 3.59% jump in HonestDoor Price is the kind of update that could change a conversation with a buyer, a lender, or an insurance provider. A stale government number won't show that. A real-time HonestDoor Price will.
If you own a house in Henderson and you've been sitting on the fence, the conditions right now are about as good as it gets for a seller. Buyers are paying over asking. Homes are gone in under three weeks. And compared to neighbouring hoods like Reddendale and Auden Park, Henderson is still the affordable option - which means demand isn't going away.
The house market here has a 5.43% rental yield too, which means if you're not selling, renting is a genuinely strong alternative. At $2,961 per month in estimated rent, the numbers work for investors and accidental landlords alike.
For condo owners, the growth rank of 6 out of 44 is a real talking point. If you're thinking about selling, that leaderboard position gives you something concrete to put in front of a buyer. Top-10 growth in Kingston is not nothing.
Bottom line - check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. It's the real-world number, not the government's best guess from two years ago. In a market moving this fast, that difference matters.
