🔴 Seller-leaning market. 1.3 months of supply and 50% of the inventory already under contract give sellers the pressure advantage.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of Stellar MLS records, as of August 2, 2026. Confidence: Medium (2 active and pending listings, 9 closed sales in 12 months).
🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($551K) is down 3.1% from the prior 12 months ($569K) and up 70% since 2012.

Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending August 2 of each year, from record-level Stellar MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($551K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($569K) IS the -3.1% one-year change.
Windows contain 2 to 10 sales each (9 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings. Based on Stellar MLS data distributed by MLS GRID for the period 1990 through 2026. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

The Kenwood buying strategy.
If we were buying in Kenwood today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Come strong and clean. Homes here move, so lead with your best terms and financing ready rather than a low anchor.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Kenwood.
A closer look at the Kenwood market
At a median of $174 per square foot, Kenwood prices sit in a fairly defined band, so condition and updates — more than the list price — tend to separate one home from the next.
Inventory runs at 1.3 months of supply, a seller-leaning market and the trailing-12-month median down 3% year over year. Homes that do trade take a median 27 days on market, useful leverage on any listing that has lingered.
The housing stock is 23 homes built between 1972 and 1997, and 91% of parcels are homesteaded — the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Kenwood. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
