  • Average days on the market: 96
  • Sales currently pending and awaiting closing: 36
What happened to the South Kingstown real estate market in single family homes this past month?  Home sales took off even though we had inclement weather to deal with.

  • The breakdown of 14 South Kingstown sold homes is as follows for the month of February 2013: 8 homes sold under $300,000,5 homes sold between $300,000-$400,000 and 1 home sold over $ 1 million.

South Kingstown has been one of the strongest selling real estate markets in South County this past year.  And there is no doubt the home sale trend upwards will continue as mortgage rates continue to be low.

Ginny, It is good to read that there are so many homes pending settlement inspite of the snow you had. You will have a HOT spring market.

Good morning, Ginny....it looks like you're going in the right direction....but you're still in a buyer's market....once spring gets here, your home inventory will dwindle, I'm sure....

A 50% increase is good news. The market still have plenty of challenges that will take a bit more time to work through. The spring market might be just what is needed.

Hi Ginny,

Looking at the numbers, it looks a lot like this area. Keeping in the high 95 + % when selling a home.

This is very good for the sellers and the buyers.

Keep up the good work.

Have a great Friday and an even better weekend in North Kingstown.

Best, Clint McKie

Thanks all...although north and south Kingstown are neighbor towns... South Kingstown has more coastline and tends to have more activity, more construction. What makes a buyer buy...the magic question.
