If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs in Hillendale lately, here's what's actually happening. The market is taking a breather. Values are easing back a bit, but the story is different depending on what you own. Let's break it down for us locals.
The average HonestDoor Price for a house here sits at $551,956, down 1.27% from the previous period. The more forward-looking predicted market value is $559,074, but that number is sliding - it's down 3.85% recently and is now tracking below the 3-month moving average of $575,077. That gap tells you the momentum has shifted.
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Hillendale houses rank 37 out of 44 Kingston neighbourhoods for growth. That puts us in the bottom tier right now. Nearby, Grenville Park ($613,942), Calvin Park ($596,738), and Polson Park ($559,599) are all coming in higher on price. If you own a house here, that context matters.
The silver lining? Rentals are genuinely strong. Here's the quick snapshot:
Condos here are a different story - and honestly, a more interesting one. The average HonestDoor Price is $432,192, down 3.81% from the previous period. But the predicted market value of $449,334 is actually climbing above the 3-month moving average of $440,054. That's a small but real sign of stabilization.
Compared to nearby neighbourhoods, Hillendale condos are priced higher than Grenville Park ($274,667), Polson Park ($293,160), and Calvin Park ($372,184). We're the premium condo option in this pocket of Kingston. On the leaderboard, condo growth ranks 32 out of 44 - below average, but not at the bottom.
Here's the thing about your city tax assessment - it's a snapshot from the past. It doesn't know what happened to interest rates last quarter. It doesn't know what your neighbour's place sold for last month. It's essentially a photo of a market that no longer exists.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual sales data, market shifts, and current conditions. For Hillendale homeowners, that difference is not small. If you're making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just understanding your net worth - you want the number that reflects today, not two years ago. Check your HonestDoor Price now, because the market is moving and your assessment is standing still.
Straight talk: if you own a house in Hillendale and you've been sitting on the fence, the data is nudging you to get off it sooner rather than later. Values are drifting down, the 3-month trend is pointing lower, and we're sitting near the bottom of the Kingston growth leaderboard. Waiting for a big rebound this summer is a gamble the numbers don't currently support.
If you own a condo, the picture is a little calmer. The predicted value is ticking up slightly and you're priced above most nearby neighbourhoods. You have a bit more breathing room - but "below average" growth still means you're not in a hot seller's market.
Either way, the move right now is to know your real number. Pull your HonestDoor Price, compare it to what's actually selling nearby, and have an honest conversation about timing. The best sellers this summer won't be the ones who waited - they'll be the ones who got informed early.
