Queens, Kingston - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Queens, Kingston: Your House Is Doing Better Than You Think

If you live in Queens and you have not checked your home's value lately, now is the time. The numbers tell two very different stories depending on what you own - and one of them is genuinely good news.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos in Queens

Let's break it down for us locals, because houses and condos are moving in opposite directions right now.

Houses: The average HonestDoor Price sits at $1,055,431, which is down 5.07% from the previous period. That sounds like a headline to worry about. But here is the real story - the predicted market value for houses is $1,111,779, and that number is climbing above the 3-month moving average of $1,041,312. House values in Queens have shifted 7.01% recently, and on the Kingston neighbourhood leaderboard, Queens houses rank 1 out of 44 neighbourhoods for growth. That is not a typo. Number one. If you own a house here, we are sitting at the top of the city right now.

• Average HonestDoor Price (Houses): $1,055,431
• Predicted Market Value: $1,111,779
• 3-Month Moving Average: $1,041,312
• Recent Value Change: 7.01%
• Growth Rank in Kingston: 1 out of 44
• Average Rental Estimate: $4,316 per month
• Rental Yield: 4.63%
• Airbnb Estimate: $214 per night - ranked 7th in Kingston

Condos: The condo picture is more mixed. The average HonestDoor Price is $808,534, up 3.52% from the previous period, which is a positive sign. But the predicted market value of $781,044 sits slightly below the nearby Sydenham average of $851,528. The growth rank for condos lands at 25 out of 44 - right in the middle of the pack. Not alarming, but not a reason to pop champagne either. The condo market here is taking a breather.

• Predicted Market Value: $781,044
• 3-Month Moving Average: $775,968
• Recent Value Change: -0.99%

• Rental Yield: 3.34%
• Airbnb Estimate: $177 per night - ranked 5th in Kingston

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

Here is something most Queens homeowners do not realize. Your city tax assessment is a snapshot from the past. It does not update in real time, and it does not care that house values in Queens just ranked first in Kingston for growth. It is essentially a photo of your home's value from a year or more ago.

The HonestDoor Price is a live, real-world check. It pulls current market signals and gives you a number that reflects what buyers are actually doing right now - not what a government office calculated last year. For house owners in Queens, that gap between the assessment and the HonestDoor Price could represent a significant amount of equity you did not know you had. For condo owners, it helps you see clearly where you stand before making any moves.

Checking your HonestDoor Price costs nothing. Not knowing your real number could cost you plenty.

The So What: Thinking About Selling This Summer?

If you own a house in Queens, this summer is worth a serious conversation. Ranking first out of 44 Kingston neighbourhoods for growth is a real advantage. Buyers who are priced out of Alwington - where houses average $1,394,278 - are going to look at Queens. You offer comparable quality at a lower entry point, and that drives demand.

For condo owners, the story is more about patience. Values are not dropping sharply, and a 3.52% increase in the HonestDoor Price shows some positive momentum. But with a growth rank of 25 out of 44, this is not a peak moment to rush a sale. If you can wait, watch the numbers over the next quarter.

Either way, the smartest first step is the same - get your HonestDoor Price today, compare it to what you paid and what your assessment says, and you will have a much clearer picture of where you actually stand before you call an agent or sign anything.
