Kentley, Hamilton - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Kentley, Hamilton: Your Neighbour Just Listed - Here Is What You Need to Know

If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs pop up around Kentley this season, here is the straight story on what your home is actually worth right now - and why the number on your tax assessment is probably not the one you should be quoting at the backyard fence.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos in Kentley

Let's break down what we are actually seeing on the ground for the two main property types in our neighbourhood.

Houses

The average HonestDoor Price for a house in Kentley sits at $684,413 - up 1.69% from the previous period. That is a real, measurable gain. The predicted market value right now is $673,036, which is just slightly below the 3-month moving average of $677,450. In plain terms, prices are holding steady but have eased off their recent peak by a small margin. Think of it as the market taking a breath, not a tumble.

For us as homeowners, the income story is strong. Estimated rent comes in at $3,197 per month with a rental yield of 5.30% - that is a genuinely solid return in today's market. If you have ever thought about renting out a suite or holding an investment property in Kentley, those numbers make a compelling case.

• Average HonestDoor Price (Houses): $684,413
• Recent price change: +1.69%
• Predicted market value: $673,036
• 3-month moving average: $677,450
• Estimated monthly rent: $3,197
• Rental yield: 5.30%
• Airbnb estimate: $161 per night
• Neighbourhood growth rank: 99 out of 207 in Hamilton - above average

That growth rank is worth pausing on. On the Hamilton neighbourhood leaderboard, Kentley houses sit in the top half - rank 99 out of 207. We are not leading the pack, but we are ahead of more than half the city. Compared to nearby spots like Mcquesten East ($521,990), Riverdale West ($579,368), and Nashdale ($634,758), Kentley houses are priced higher - and holding that premium.

Condos

The condo picture in Kentley is a different story, and it is worth being honest about it. The average HonestDoor Price is $379,772, up 1.47% from the previous period. The predicted market value is $374,288 - and here is the encouraging part - that number is actually climbing above the 3-month moving average of $368,050. Condo values in Kentley are trending upward right now.

Rental income for condos comes in at an estimated $1,979 per month with a yield of 4.07%. That is a moderate return - not flashy, but steady. On the Hamilton neighbourhood leaderboard, Kentley condos rank 109 out of 193, which puts us in the below-average tier for condo growth. That is the honest read.

• Average HonestDoor Price (Condos): $379,772
• Recent price change: +1.47%
• Predicted market value: $374,288
• 3-month moving average: $368,050
• Estimated monthly rent: $1,979
• Rental yield: 4.07%
• Airbnb estimate: $98 per night
• Neighbourhood growth rank: 109 out of 193 in Hamilton - below average

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

Here is the thing most Kentley homeowners do not realize. Your city assessment is a snapshot frozen in time - often based on data that is one to two years old by the time it lands in your mailbox. A lot can change in that window.

The HonestDoor Price is a real-world check. It updates continuously using actual market signals, not a government formula built on old sales data. For a Kentley house owner, the difference between the city's static number and the HonestDoor Price of $684,413 could be tens of thousands of dollars - in either direction. If you are making any financial decision based on your home's value right now - refinancing, selling, or even just knowing your net worth - the HonestDoor Price is the number to start with.

The So What: Thinking About Selling This Summer?

If you own a house in Kentley and you are weighing a summer sale, the timing is not bad. Values are up 1.69% from the previous period, the rental yield of 5.30% signals that buyers see real income potential here, and we are sitting above average on the Hamilton growth leaderboard. Buyers shopping in our price range are also comparing us to Mcquesten East, Riverdale West, and Nashdale - and Kentley comes out ahead on price, which means we need to come out ahead on presentation too.

For condo owners, the honest advice is to watch the next 60 to 90 days closely. The predicted value is rising above the 3-month average - that is a positive signal. But the growth rank of 109 out of 193 tells us we are not in a neighbourhood that is running hot right now. If you need to sell, price it sharp. If you can wait, the trend is at least moving in the right direction.

Bottom line - Kentley is a solid, above-average Hamilton neighbourhood for houses, and a steady hold for condos. Know your real number, price it right, and do not let an outdated assessment be the thing that costs you at the negotiating table.
