Home Sales in South Kingstown in May 2017 Update
The South Kingstown real estate market May 2017 home sales for single family homes increased this month over last month by 35%. There is no doubt that the late spring home buying market is in a true sellers market right now.
This is a stable RI home sale market where the key to home sales is pricing well. The significant increase in home sales this month over the prior month is due to pent up demand with home buyers especially in the under $400,000 home sale market.
