Based on this most recent home sales data, the North Kingstown RI real estate market is a buyers market. Currently, there is 8+ months of home inventory on the market.
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 24 North Kingstown sold homes is as follows for the month of September: 15 homes sold under $300,000, 3 homes sold between $300,000-$400,000, 5 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.
