If you've been glancing at your city tax assessment and feeling pretty good about it, hold on. The numbers on the ground in Strathcona Park are telling a different story - and depending on whether you own a house or a condo, that story has a very different ending.
Let's be straight with each other. The two property types in our neighbourhood are moving in opposite directions right now, and it matters a lot depending on what you own.
Houses: We're in a bit of a breather. The average HonestDoor Price for a house sits at $562,888, down 0.35% from the previous period. The 3-month moving average is $581,863, and the predicted market value is $564,888 - so prices are sliding back toward that moving average rather than pushing past it. Over the recent window, house values have dipped 3.79%. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Strathcona Park houses rank 36 out of 44 Kingston neighbourhoods for growth. That puts us near the bottom tier right now. Not a crisis, but not a tailwind either.
Condos: This is where it gets interesting. The average HonestDoor Price for condos shows a sharp drop of 27.44% from the previous period, landing at $292,922. But the predicted market value tells a more optimistic story at $403,705 - and that number is actually climbing above the 3-month moving average of $393,841. Recent value change is up 3.83%. On the leaderboard, condo growth in Strathcona Park ranks 19 out of 44 - that's above average for Kingston. If you own a condo here, the momentum is quietly working in your favour.
Here's the thing about your city assessment - it's a snapshot from the past. It doesn't know what happened to prices last month. It doesn't know that house values in Strathcona Park have shifted 3.79% recently. It's basically a photo from a year ago being used to describe what you look like today.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It pulls in current market signals, not last year's data. For house owners here, that means understanding your property may be sitting below its 3-month moving average right now - which is actually useful information if you're deciding when to list. For condo owners, it means seeing that your predicted value at $403,705 is outpacing the moving average, which is a green flag worth knowing about before you price anything.
Your tax assessment won't tell you any of that. Your HonestDoor Price will.
If you own a house in Strathcona Park and you're eyeing a summer sale, the honest advice is this: don't wait for the market to come back to you. With a growth rank of 36 out of 44 and prices sitting below the 3-month average, the window to get ahead of further softening is now - not in the fall. Nearby Grenville Park is averaging $613,942 and Alcan is at $640,624, so buyers in this price range have options. You need to be priced sharp and presented well.
If you own a condo, your timing looks better. Values are trending up, your growth rank is above average at 19 out of 44, and the predicted market value is climbing. You're not in a rush - but you're also in a stronger position than most condo owners across Kingston right now. That's worth something when you sit down to negotiate.
Either way, pull your HonestDoor Price before you call an agent. Walk into that conversation knowing your number - not the city's outdated guess at it.
