Selling a home in Kingston
Kingston was once the north part of Plymouth and became its own town on June 16, 1726. The Jones River runs through town to Kingston Bay, and Gray’s Beach sits at Rocky Nook. Buyers come for the train at the end of the Kingston Line and easy access to Route 3.
I’m John Fortes, a real estate agent with RE/MAX Synergy, and I help Kingston owners sell their homes. I walk the house, check the sewer, septic and flood details for your address, and lay out a clear plan. You can learn more about how I work on my South Shore home selling page.

Neighborhoods and areas
Locals know Kingston by areas like Rocky Nook, Kingston Center and the land around Silver Lake. Monk’s Hill is the highest point in town at 313 feet. Homes near the bay and homes on wooded lots sell differently, so I price from sales close to yours.
Silver Lake is the source of the Jones River, and it touches Kingston, Pembroke, Plympton and Halifax. Gray’s Beach is on Kingston Bay, and the Kingston Collection is the area’s regional mall. Bike Route 1 runs about three miles through town along Route 80.
Kingston homes are on town water. Part of town is on sewer, treated at the plant on Cranberry Road, and the rest of town is on septic. The Recycling and Disposal Center sticker costs $280 for FY2027, and private curbside pickup is optional.
Schools
Kingston runs two schools for younger students: Kingston Elementary for kindergarten to grade 2 and Kingston Intermediate for grades 3 to 6. Grades 7 to 12 attend Silver Lake Regional, which serves Kingston, Halifax and Plympton. Silver Lake Regional Middle School and Silver Lake Regional High School are both in Kingston.
Commute
Kingston station is the end of the Kingston Line. Weekday morning trains reach South Station in about 63 minutes.
By car, Route 3 has three Kingston exits, and Routes 3A, 27, 44, 53, 80 and 106 also run through town. The modeled peak drive to Boston is about 68 minutes for roughly 30 miles.
Kingston market snapshot
These are MLS numbers for Kingston so far this year, January 1 to November 6, 2026. Single family and condo markets move differently, so I keep them separate.
Single family homes (Source: MLS PIN via Market Numbers, as of 11/6/2026):
- Median sale price: $725,000
- Median days on market: 22
- Median sale-to-list price: 100.0%
- Active listings: 28
- Closed sales: 106
Condos (Source: MLS PIN via Market Numbers, as of 11/6/2026):
- Median sale price: $500,000
- Median days on market: 19
- Median sale-to-list price: 102.0%
- Active listings: 4
- Closed sales: 13
What this means for you: For a Kingston seller, single family homes are selling in about three weeks, and the median sale came in right at asking price. Condos sold fast and above asking at the median, with only 4 for sale at the time. There were only 13 condo sales so far this year, so one sale can move those numbers. Active listings are the homes for sale at the time, and the other numbers come from sales that already closed.
Reasons to sell in Kingston
The worry, then how I help.
Upsizing
You do not want to sell before the next house is set.
I map the dates so you are not stuck with two payments or nowhere to go.
A multi-family
Tenants may still be in the home, and you are ready to sell.
I follow the lease and the law, and I do not promise that a tenant will leave.
Needs work
The house needs work and you do not want to renovate first.
I price it as it stands, and that opinion is not a home inspection.
Inherited
You inherited a house and you are not sure what you can do yet.
I coordinate with your estate attorney, and I do not give legal advice.
A condo
Fees, reserves, or the rules can surprise a buyer.
I read those before we set a price.
Buy and sell
You need to sell one home and buy the next.
I put both dates on paper before we list.
How I help sellers
From the first call through closing, you deal with me.
Pricing
I price from recent sales and the repairs that pay you back, and this is my opinion, not an appraisal.
Prep
I give you a short prep list and introduce vendors that you hire and pay yourself.
Negotiation
I negotiate price, dates, and inspection terms, and I keep my list to 6 to 8 so I have the time.
Closing
A transaction coordinator keeps the file moving, and you still talk to me.

How long is the train from Kingston to Boston?
Weekday morning trains from Kingston station reach South Station in about 63 minutes (Source: MBTA Kingston Line schedule, mbta.com, read 10/31/2026).
Are Kingston homes on sewer or septic?
Kingston has both, since part of town is on town sewer and the rest of town uses septic systems (Source: Town of Kingston sewer rates and regulations, kingstonma.gov, October 29, 2024, and South Shore Town Guide, checked 10/22/2026). The town’s online GIS has a wastewater layer that shows sewer lines, and I check the details for each home before we list.

Kingston’s FY2026 tax rate is $12.82 per $1,000 of assessed value, as certified by the Massachusetts Bureau of Accounts (Source: Town of Kingston Fiscal Year 2026 Tax Rate page, kingstonma.gov, read 10/31/2026). The town lists the average single family value at $610,600, with an average tax bill of $7,827. To estimate a yearly bill, multiply the assessed value by 12.82 and divide by 1,000.
Are there flood zones in Kingston?
Yes, parts of Kingston near Kingston Bay and the Jones River are in FEMA flood zones, so flood zone status depends on the address (Source: Town of Kingston Jones River Landing Maritime Resilience Plan, kingstonma.gov, citing FEMA maps effective July 6, 2021, read 10/31/2026). That plan shows the Jones River Landing area in an AE flood zone. To check a home, look it up on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center at msc.fema.gov.
