North Kingstown Home Sales for Sale in September
This is the North Kingstown RI single family housing market update for September 2018 and provided by Ginny Gorman, a top selling southern RI real estate agent. This is the 2018 real estate home sale market and all homeowners and buyers want to know how pricing and home inventory is proceeding so far this year.
With the fall season upon us and the Narragansett Bay waters drawing the home buyers into this southern and centrally located RI town let’s talk. This month is showing a decrease in home sales over the prior month by 57% and pending home sales have decreased over the prior month by 6%. North Kingstown Home sold values here are up by 9% through September 2018 this year and home sale sold numbers are down 10% over the same period in the prior year. Due to the decreased number of homes for sale that are affordable or available to buyers home sold numbers are down this year. This shortage of homes for sale is expected to continue through 2018. North Kingstown is one of the ‘desirable’ towns for suburban southern RI home buyers to move to.
What makes North Kingstown the town to move into and live?
In this southern RI coastal town it is about the community, life style, schools, Wickford Village, Narragansett Bay and great real estate that draws home buyers here. North Kingstown is geographically nearly in the center of Rhode Island coastal real estate which makes commuting to Providence or south via Routes 1, 4 and 95 an added bonus to all who live here. There is a suburban living environment here with the salt water close at hand that is so important to buyers.
Let us look at the first nine months of home sales in 2018 in North Kingstown. Home inventory is bought up quickly under $500,000. Buyers prefer homes to be updated and move in ready in order to receive qualified well priced offers. It does not matter what you have spent of your house over the years but what the real estate market ‘says’ it is worth is what sellers need to understand. A well qualified real estate agent does their due diligence to analyze and share comparable sold homes with sellers so a potential seller knows the expected sold price.

As an update and side note to this North Kingstown home sale market it is apparent that sellers are not willing to place their homes on the market until they identify a home they wish to purchase. This is because homes are ‘scarce’ in so many price ranges. Buyers need to really understand what this means. You will be paying top dollar for homes that are move in ready in the right location and at market price. Make sure you work with a real estate agent who knows the market and can negotiate well for you. You need to be first in line when a home comes on the market now.
