February Market Recap

Dated: March 19 2026

Views: 11

Here is how this February compared to last February.

Key takeaway:
Both 
Sales Volume and  Median sale price is down nearly 8% compared to last February, and notably fewer new listings coming to market (down 22%). This may be due to the brutal winter we had. I have a lot of listings coming in the next few months, so we will see how it plays out. 

Coming Soon

I’ve already met with several sellers who are actively preparing to list. Here’s a preview of a few properties coming soon:

• Ridgewood Estates – A large and rare 5-bedroom, two-storey home with a walkout basement backing onto the creek. The layout, lot, and location are excellent. With cosmetic updates, this is easily a million-dollar home.

• Varty Lake Waterfront – A 2-bedroom home with beautiful, year-round lake views. A rare opportunity on the water at an affordable price. 

• Buck Lake Waterfront - 3 Bedroom, 1 Bath! 30 min from Kingston! Again, Amazing views overlooking the lake! This place is going to be MINT when the owner finishes their updates! 

Pocket Listings (Off-Market Opportunities)

I’m also working with a few owners who are not publicly listed but may sell if the right buyer comes along. These are all investment properties:

• Purpose-built triplex, fully rented with brand-new tenants (total rents approx. $4,600/month)
• 
West-end single-family duplex – 3 bedrooms up, 3 bedrooms down, separate entrances; ideal live-in investment
• 
5-bedroom Queen’s student rental, fully leased with ample parking

Final Thoughts

If you want more information on any of these properties just reply to this email and I will get you more details. 

If you’re making a move this year, now is the time to reach out! 

Having a clear strategy, realistic timelines, and accurate pricing expectations is more important than ever for sellers!
