There are 93 single-family homes on the market in Kingston today. That's lower than average, and emphasizes quality homes for sale. There's now 9 months of inventory, and 19 new properties came on the market in June. With 10 sales in June, that means there's more inventory now than there was at the beginning of the month.
The big news last month was the spike in mortgage interest rates. Instead of thinking that rates are "in the 3 percent range", we are suddenly talking about rates in the 4 1/2 percent range. That increases the monthly cost of a mortgage by 5-10%, and decreases buyers' purchasing power by about the same amount. Instead of being able to borrow $380,000, for example, the same monthly mortgage payment only gets you a $348,000 mortgage. That's a loss of purchasing power of $32,000.
In Kingston, buyers can often find the right option at the right price, though many homes are selling in the first few weeks after they go on the market.
Sellers, on the other hand, can readily sell their home now as long as the price gives buyers a good value compared to similar homes already on the market.
