Based on this most recent home sales data, the North Kingstown RI real estate market is barely a balanced market. Currently, there is 6.7 months of house inventory. My experience has shown me that when home supply drops below 5 months, home prices rise faster and it is a seller’s market. I believe home buyers can feel the scarcity in the market at this point. We are not there yet.
- Breakdown of the 32 North Kingstown sold homes is as follows for the month: 25 homes sold under $300,000, 2 homes sold between $300,000-$400,000 and 5 homes sold over $400,000. The under $300,000 market is clearly the desired market in home sales for buyers.

North Kingstown real estate has slumped a bit in its July 2013 home closing rate. Home sales are down by 24% over the prior month. Year over year, home sales are up July 2013 by 29% over July 2012 which is a healthy recovery. Those are the statistics that you as a home seller or buyer need to know.
The homes going into sales agreement status had a pullback by 10% in July over the prior month. Strong home interest in buying a home under $300,000 remains on the top of buyers minds.
The reduction in pending homes indicates that August home closings will be a bit lower number. Yet, this current home buying market shows a strong first half of home buying power. We have made it over the hump in slow home sales. Realize that the homes selling here are in updated condition and an attractive price point to obtain an accepted offer.
Both buyers and sellers can use this statistical information to determine how North Kingstown home sales in are performing.
