If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs in Markers Acres lately, here's what's actually happening. The market is taking a breather on the house side, but condos are quietly picking up steam. These two stories are worth keeping separate.
The average HonestDoor Price for a house in Markers Acres sits at $476,326. That's down about 3% from the last period, which sounds alarming until you look at the forward picture. The predicted value for houses is $490,833 - and that number is climbing, sitting above the 3-month moving average of $488,533. In plain terms: the dip looks like a short pause, not a slide.
A 5.66% rental yield is not something to gloss over. For anyone holding a house here as an investment, or thinking about renting before selling, that number puts Markers Acres ahead of a lot of Kingston neighbourhoods. Greenwood and Cataraqui River East carry higher price tags - $717,851 and $672,856 respectively - but a higher price does not automatically mean a better yield.
Condos in Markers Acres are telling a different story. The average HonestDoor Price is $312,151, up 4.06% from the previous period. The predicted value of $299,976 is also rising, clearing the 3-month moving average of $288,787 by a solid margin. Momentum is building here.
Both property types rank in the top half of Kingston's 44 comparable neighbourhoods. That is the leaderboard stat worth sharing at a backyard barbecue. We are not leading the pack, but we are not chasing it either.
Here is the thing about city tax assessments: they are snapshots 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 is the difference between knowing what your home was worth and knowing what it is worth today.
For Markers Acres homeowners, that gap matters. A house assessed at one number by the city could be sitting at $490,833 in predicted value right now - and trending upward. If you are making any financial decision based on an old assessment, you are working with a blurry map. Check your HonestDoor Price first. It is the real-world check that the city's static number simply cannot give you.
If you own a house in Markers Acres and you have been on the fence, the data gives you a reasonable case for moving this summer. The predicted value is above the recent average and climbing. Buyer demand for rentable properties with strong yields does not disappear in summer - it often peaks. A 5.66% yield is a number that attracts investors, not just owner-occupiers, which widens your pool of potential buyers.
For condo owners, the 4.06% price increase is a green light worth paying attention to. Values are rising, the 3-month trend is positive, and sitting at rank 20 out of 44 means we are in above-average territory for Kingston growth. Waiting for a "better" moment could mean waiting through a window that is already open.
Bottom line: Markers Acres is not the flashiest neighbourhood on the Kingston map, but it is a solid, above-average performer with real rental income potential. Pull your HonestDoor Price, compare it to what the city has on file, and make your next move with the right number in hand - not last year's guess.
