City market context

From the Kingston market article, 22 September 2026:

Kingston's months of inventory hit 5.8 in August 2026, far exceeding the 3.6-month seasonal norm. Record new listings and rising mortgage rates are shifting leverage to buyers, though price declines remain modest so far. Kingston's housing market has shifted decisively toward buyer conditions, with months of inventory reaching 5.8 in August 2026, well above the 3.6-month long-run seasonal average. This imbalance, driven by record new listings and slowing sales, creates negotiating leverage for buyers and downward pressure on price growth.
