Sell Your Kingston Home for 1% | Modern Solution Realty

Sell Home in Kingston for Just 1% Commission

Kingston is eastern Ontario’s most balanced market — a university, military and hospital city where well-priced homes in every ward find buyers quickly. List your Kingston home for 1% with Modern Solution Realty, save approximately $8,850 on the average $590,000 home, and get the same full marketing reach as a traditional 2.5% listing.

Why 1% Commission Works in Kingston

Kingston buyers are Queen’s University and hospital staff, CFB Kingston military families on posting timelines, GTA retirees relocating for lifestyle, and local move-up households. They search MLS, Realtor.ca and HouseSigma and expect full photography from the day a home lists. A polished 1% listing performs exactly as well as a 2.5% one — without you giving up thousands at closing.

The Kingston Real Estate Market

Kingston is a city of about 135,000 where Lake Ontario meets the St. Lawrence, anchored by Queen’s University, Royal Military College, CFB Kingston and Kingston Health Sciences Centre. Its neighbourhoods run from the limestone heritage core of Sydenham and Portsmouth to the family subdivisions of the west end along Taylor-Kidd Boulevard, the newer growth of Kingston East and the more affordable north end above Highway 401.

Stable institutional employment, a UNESCO waterfront, VIA Rail service to Toronto and Ottawa and prices well below the GTA keep Kingston’s buyer pool deep in every season. West-end family homes and downtown limestone properties are the most sought-after listings.

Home prices in Kingston range from approximately $400,000 for condos and townhouses to over $925,000 for executive homes in the west end and heritage properties near the waterfront. With Modern Solution's 1% commission, Kingston sellers save approximately $8,850–$14,250 on a typical sale.
