There are 89 single-family homes on the market in Kingston today. That's lower than average, and emphasizes quality homes for sale. There's now 4 1/2 months of inventory, and only 14 new properties came on the market in June. With 20 sales in June, that means there's less inventory now than there was at the beginning of the month.

Mortgage interest rates have moderated a bit and are trading in the 4 to 4 1/2 percent range.

In Kingston, prices are up, but buyers can often find a great house at the right price. Still, the increased number of days on market disguises the fact that 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.
