Built in 1979, 132 South Kent Road has a primary bedroom on the first floor with a fireplace and three bedrooms upstairs. It sold for $555,000 in April well under the median price of $607,500 for the Town of Kent.
KENT – Kent’s housing market remained relatively stable this spring, with home prices holding steady despite a limited number of sales and continued tight inventory.
The 12-month trailing median sale price for a single-family home in Kent — excluding condominiums — was $607,500 at the end of April, unchanged from January, February and March. The figure reflects a market that has leveled off after several years of sharp price increases during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Even with the recent stabilization, prices remain significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels. The current median is 35% above the $450,000 median recorded during the 12-month period ending April 30, 2025, and sits just 3% above the $590,000 median recorded for the comparable period ending April 30, 2024.
Kent’s highest trailing 12-month median price was reached in July 2024, when it climbed to $753,000.
Sales activity has also remained relatively consistent in recent months. A total of 28 single-family homes sold during the 12-month period ending April 30, 2026, averaging roughly two to three sales per month during the first four months of the year. By comparison, 23 homes sold during the previous 12-month period, while 32 homes sold during the year ending April 30, 2024.
The market remains well below the pace seen during the height of the pandemic-era buying frenzy, when annual sales peaked at 81 transactions during the 12-month period ending May 2021.
Inventory began to expand entering the spring selling season. In mid-May, 14 single-family homes were listed for sale in Kent, up from seven listings in March. Four new properties priced above $1 million entered the market during the previous week alone.
Despite the increase in listings, lower-priced inventory remains scarce. Only three homes were listed below $1 million in mid-May, and none were priced below the town’s current trailing 12-month median price of $607,500.
Homes in Kent also continue to sell close to asking price, typically closing at between 98% and 100% of their listed value.
