My experience has shown me that when home supply drops below 5 months, home prices rise faster and it is a seller’s market. We are not there yet. Breakdown of the 31 North Kingstown sold homes is as follows for the month of October: 17 homes sold under $300,000, 7 homes sold between $300,000-$400,000, 6 homes sold over $400,000 and 1 home sold over $1 million. The under $300,000 market is clearly the desired market in home sales for buyers here.
