Municipal Housing Context

The City of Kingston reports exceeding its required annual housing creation target in 2023, with Council supporting over 3,000 new residential units citywide. This figure covers the entire municipality and includes single-family homes, semis, townhouses, additional residential units and apartments. It is not a measurement of Kingscourt specifically.

A Community Improvement Plan opened June 13, 2024, through December 31, 2026, offers property tax incentives for new apartment buildings with at least seven rental units within Kingston’s urban boundaries. Applications target developers whose projects increase property taxes. No Kingscourt-specific application count or unit delivery figure is supplied in the local evidence.

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.
