The typical home value in South Kensington is projected to be $2,100,000 for the month of February. January’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $1,700,000—up 78.95% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $592,000 in Montgomery County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $568,000 in February.
South Kensington had 6 new listings and 11 listings that went under contract in January, decreasing the area’s total available inventory to 10—down 23.08% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further decreased in February.
Of those 10 active listings, 30.0% reduced their price in the month of January. The median listing price for homes in South Kensington grew 42.81% from December to January, bringing the current median listing price to $1,374,500. Based on projected data for February, listing prices may continue to grow.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract fell year-over-year. In January 2026, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 150 days, compared to 225 days in January 2025. In recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be decreasing. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this February.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
