This page tracks what homes in Kensington actually sold for over the last twelve months, how long they took, and what moved the price. It is built from 11 verified closed sales in the Stellar MLS feed, not from public estimates. Every figure is a net-of-concessions number, which is explained at the bottom. Updated November 2026.

Seller concessions

7 of 11Sales carrying a credit
A seller credit covers part of the buyer's closing costs and comes off the seller's proceeds, so the headline sale price overstates what the seller kept. Budget for it if you are selling, and ask for it if you are buying.
How buyers paid
Conventional 5 sales45%
FHA 3 sales27%
Cash 2 sales18%
VA 1 sale9%
Cash was 18% of purchases. A high cash share means a seller has buyers who do not depend on an appraisal, and a buyer using a loan is competing against offers that can close faster.
