60. “Seven-Day Sprint: How Kingston Homes Went Under Fast”

Here’s the no-fluff Kingston, MA 02364 update for November: supply is scarce, buyers are writing fast, and sellers are still landing near—or over—ask when they price in the strike zone. The RPR Market Trends panel pegs Kingston at 1.07 months of inventory—deep seller territory—with a Sold-to-List ratio of 100.4%, median days in RPR of 7, and a median sold price of $661,000 (a sharp +19.9% month-over-month). That combination—very low supply, fast absorption, and full-price outcomes—defines negotiating leverage right now. 

Zoom in on pricing: the Active Listings snapshot (page 3) shows median list price of $809,950, down ~11% MoM—a tactical reset that helped pull buyers off the sidelines while rates moderated. At the same time, the Market Snapshot table (page 6) shows median estimated property value at $714,990 (up 0.5% MoM, 2.9% YoY). Translation: sellers trimmed list prices to meet the market, but underlying home values continue to trend higher—evidence of durable demand for South Shore lifestyle, commuter access, and renovated stock. 

The MLS single-family cut confirms strength where it matters—closed deals. Fourteen (14) homes sold in November with a median sale of $695,500 and an average sale price of $713,786. The SP:LP ratio averaged 101%, with average days on market of 32 and average days to offer of 23—clear proof that well-prepared listings still attract decisive buyers. Price bands tell the story: the $500–$599K bracket closed 4 sales at 103% of list, while $600–$699K averaged 101%. Even the $1.0–$1.5M tier posted a clean 100% SP:LP, showing qualified demand up the ladder. 

Pipeline health looks decent, too. Five (5) properties went pending/under agreement in November, spanning $425,000 to $1,299,000 with an average list of $756,760. Time-to-commitment lengthened (avg. 53 days to offer), reflecting buyers’ due diligence and seasonality—yet deals are still stacking, a positive signal for December/January closings. Only two expireds posted (median $715,000), reinforcing that most listings found the mark when pricing and presentation aligned. 

• Sellers: Price inside the “decision zone” from day one. November data shows buyers rewarding accuracy with 100–103% SP:LP and quick offers. Pair that with tight supply (1.07 months) and you’ve got leverage—if condition, media, and launch timing are dialed. Consider a light pre-list refresh and a two-week, high-intensity marketing cadence to maximize first-week traffic.
• Buyers: Get fully underwritten and move fast. Median 7 days to key activity means you should be touring early, writing clean, and using neighborhood-level comps—not county averages—to set ceilings. Where list prices have eased (see the Active median list reset), look for value in homes with recent reductions; pair a sharp offer with flexible terms to win without wildly overpaying. #SouthShoreMAHomes #BostonSouthShoreRealEstate #SouthShoreRealtor #jimaldred #kwsignaturepropertiesma #sellingsouthietosagamore #pinkdoorproperties #Kingston #02364 #pinkdoorpodcast #southshorerealestate
