If you own a home in Westwoods and you're still relying on your last city assessment to know what it's worth, you're flying blind. Here's what the numbers are actually saying right now.
Let's split this into two honest conversations, because houses and condos are telling very different stories on our streets right now.
Our houses are holding serious value. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $728,440, and the predicted market value is even slightly higher at $733,531. Yes, values have dipped a touch - down 0.38% recently and the 3-month moving average is trending just slightly lower at $734,287. The market is taking a breather, not falling off a cliff.
The bigger story for us? On the Kingston neighbourhood leaderboard, Westwoods houses rank 9 out of 44 neighbourhoods for growth. That puts us firmly in above-average territory. Most of our neighbours in Bayridge West, Sutton Mills, and Bayridge East are sitting at price points well below us - we're talking $130,000 to $180,000 cheaper per home. Westwoods commands a premium, and the data backs that up.
Condos in Westwoods are a different animal. The average HonestDoor Price is $269,870, and the predicted market value has actually ticked up to $274,661 - beating the 3-month moving average of $273,570. That upward movement matters. Recent value change is up 4.18%, which is a real number worth paying attention to.
The catch? Nearby condos in Bayridge West, Sutton Mills, and Bayridge East are all priced higher than ours. If you own a condo here, that gap is worth a conversation. On the leaderboard, Westwoods condos rank 17 out of 44 - still above average in Kingston, but there is room to watch how that gap with neighbours closes over time.
Here is the thing about your city assessment - it is a snapshot from the past. It does not know what happened to interest rates last quarter. It does not know what your neighbour's house sold for last month. It is a static number in a market that moves every single day.
Your HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It is pulling in actual sales data, current market signals, and neighbourhood-level trends to give you a number that reflects today - not two years ago. For Westwoods house owners sitting near $733,000 in predicted value, that difference between your assessment and your HonestDoor Price could be tens of thousands of dollars. That is your equity. You deserve to know what it actually is.
Think of the HonestDoor Price as the real-world check your assessment never gives you.
If you are a house owner in Westwoods and you are thinking about listing this summer, here is the straight talk. You are in a top-10 neighbourhood for growth in Kingston. Values have softened slightly in the short term, but you are still commanding a significant premium over every comparable neighbourhood nearby. Buyers looking at Bayridge West or Sutton Mills will be looking at Westwoods too - and your price point reflects that.
For condo owners, the 4.18% recent value increase is a real tailwind. If you have been waiting for a signal, that number is worth a conversation with your agent right now.
The rental numbers also tell a story for anyone on the fence. A house here can pull $3,400 per month in estimated rent at a 5.18% yield. If selling is not the move yet, holding and renting is not a bad hand to play either.
Bottom line - check your HonestDoor Price before you make any decision. It takes two minutes and it will tell you more than any assessment letter sitting in your kitchen drawer.
