North Kingstown RI Real Estate Market February 2014
The North Kingstown RI 2014 real estate home market, considering the snowy weather, is a viable and active home market. Stabilization of home prices and a higher list price to home sale price are important factors in a better real estate market. That is what we are expecting in this RI real estate market in 2014.
The average square foot cost of a North Kingstown home sold was $180/sq.ft. in 2013 which is important information to keep and compare against this year. Home sales are equal in February 2014 to February 2013 which is in keeping with the winter chill market I would say.
