Queens, Kingston - September 2026 Real Estate Report

Queens, Kingston: Your Neighbour Just Asked If Now Is a Good Time to Sell. Here Is the Honest Answer.

The Vibe Right Now

If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs in Queens, the story is actually two different stories depending on what you own. Houses and condos are moving in opposite directions, and that matters a lot for what you do next.

Houses: Taking a Breather

Let us be straight with you. The house market in Queens is under some pressure right now. The HonestDoor Price for a house sits at $1,075,976, up 1.95% from the previous period - which sounds fine on the surface. But dig one layer deeper and the predicted market value is $1,055,431, which is already sliding below the 3-month moving average of $1,068,734. Recent price movement is down 5.07%. That is not a cliff, but it is a real dip worth paying attention to.

On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Queens houses rank 43 out of 44 comparable Kingston neighbourhoods for growth. That puts us near the bottom of the pack right now. For context, nearby Alwington is sitting at a predicted value of $1,184,308 and Sydenham comes in at $887,743 - so we are sandwiched in the middle of the price range but lagging on momentum.

• Average HonestDoor Price (Houses): $1,075,976
• Predicted Market Value: $1,055,431
• 3-Month Moving Average: $1,068,734 (current value is below this)

• Growth Rank: 43 out of 44 in Kingston
• Estimated Monthly Rent: $4,316
• Rental Yield: 4.72%
• Airbnb Rank in Kingston: 5th
• Airbnb Estimate: $218 per night

Condos: A Different Story Entirely

Here is where Queens gets interesting. If you own a condo, the numbers are pointing the other way. The HonestDoor Price is $903,210 - up a strong 11.71% from the previous period. The predicted market value of $808,534 is actually climbing above the 3-month moving average of $792,812. Recent price change is up 3.52%. That is real, positive momentum.

On the leaderboard, Queens condos rank 20 out of 44 Kingston neighbourhoods - solidly above average. For landlords or investors, a 3.31% rental yield with $3,564 estimated monthly rent is a reasonable return in this market. And if you are thinking short-term rentals, Queens condos rank 7th in Kingston for Airbnb potential at $179 per night.

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

Here is something most Queens homeowners do not realize. Your city tax assessment is a snapshot frozen in time - often 12 to 24 months behind what the market is actually doing. In a neighbourhood where house values have shifted by -5.07% recently and condo values have jumped 11.71%, that lag is not a small thing. It could mean you are making a major financial decision based on a number that is simply out of date.

The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using current sales data and market signals. It is the real-world check against a static government number. If you are a condo owner, your assessment is probably underselling what you actually have. If you own a house, the assessment might be giving you false confidence. Either way, knowing your actual HonestDoor Price right now is the starting point for any smart move.

So What Does This Mean If You Are Thinking About Selling This Summer?

For house sellers - do not wait and hope the market bounces back on its own. A growth rank of 43 out of 44 tells us that Queens houses are not leading the Kingston recovery right now. If you need to sell this summer, price it sharp and price it right from day one. Overpricing in a softening market just burns time and signals desperation later.

For condo sellers - your timing is actually pretty good. Values are trending up, momentum is positive, and you are ranked above average in the city for growth. A well-priced condo in Queens this summer has a real shot at a clean, competitive sale.

For everyone - check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. It takes two minutes and it gives you the honest number, not the government's best guess from last year. That is the conversation worth having with your agent before you put up a sign.
