If you've been glancing at your city tax assessment and feeling pretty good about it, we need to talk. The Polson Park market is moving - and not always in the direction that old piece of paper suggests. Here's the real picture, straight up.
The two property types in our neighbourhood are telling very different stories right now, and knowing which one you own matters a lot.
Houses: The average HonestDoor Price for a house in Polson Park sits at $559,599. That sounds solid, but the honest truth is values have slipped 4.45% recently, and the current predicted value of $559,877 is running below the 3-month moving average of $577,941. That gap tells us the market has been taking a breather. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Polson Park houses rank 40 out of 44 Kingston neighbourhoods for growth. That puts us near the bottom of the pack right now. Not a panic moment - but not a "sit back and wait" moment either.
Condos: The condo side is a more mixed bag. The average HonestDoor Price is $293,160, down 1.78% from the previous period. The predicted value of $298,475 is just barely below the 3-month moving average of $299,489, so the slide is much shallower than what we're seeing with houses. On the leaderboard, Polson Park condos rank 23 out of 44 - right in the middle of the Kingston pack. Not leading, but not losing ground badly either.
For houses, Grenville Park ($613,942) and Calvin Park ($596,738) are both priced higher than Polson Park. Hillendale ($551,956) comes in a bit cheaper. So we sit in the middle of that local comparison - not the cheapest address, not the priciest.
For condos, the picture flips. Hillendale ($432,192) and Calvin Park ($372,184) are significantly more expensive for condos than Polson Park. Grenville Park ($274,667) is the only nearby option that comes in cheaper. If you own a condo here, you are actually one of the more affordable options in this corner of Kingston - which has its own appeal for buyers.
Here is the thing about your city assessment - it is a snapshot from the past. It does not know that Polson Park house values have dropped nearly 4.5% recently. It does not know what the 3-month trend looks like. It is basically a photo from last year telling you what you looked like then.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual market data. For Polson Park homeowners right now, that difference is not small. A house owner relying on an old assessment could be pricing their home wrong by tens of thousands of dollars - in either direction. The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check that keeps you from leaving money on the table or scaring buyers away with a number that no longer reflects the street.
Check your HonestDoor Price before you make any move. It takes two minutes and it is the most current number you will find.
If you own a house in Polson Park and you are thinking about listing this summer, the data is giving you a clear message: do not wait and hope values recover on their own. With a growth rank of 40 out of 44 and a recent dip of 4.45%, the window to price competitively is right now - before more inventory hits the market and buyers have even more options.
The rental yield of 5.52% does mean your property has real income appeal for investor buyers. That is an angle worth highlighting in any listing conversation.
If you own a condo, the situation is calmer. Values are holding closer to their moving average, and sitting at rank 23 out of 44 means you are not in freefall. A summer sale is still a reasonable play, but you have a bit more breathing room to time it right.
Either way, the first step is the same - pull your HonestDoor Price today, compare it to what you thought your home was worth, and go from there. That number is your starting point for every conversation that follows.
