If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs on Alexander Street lately, here's the honest read: it's a split story depending on what you own. Houses and condos are moving in opposite directions, and that matters a lot if you're thinking about your next move.
Let's be straight with you. House values on Alexander Street are under some pressure right now. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $272,920 - down 2% from the previous period. The predicted market value for houses is $278,479, but that number is sliding. It's down from a 3-month moving average of $287,185, and recent price changes show a -5.94% shift.
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, our houses rank 91 out of 92 comparable neighbourhoods in St. John's for growth. That's a number we shouldn't ignore. It means most of the city is outpacing us right now on house price growth.
The silver lining? If you own a house here and you're renting it out - or thinking about it - the numbers are actually decent. Estimated rent runs around $1,462 to $1,489 per month, with a rental yield of 6.02%. That's a strong return. It means Alexander Street houses work well as income properties even if the appreciation story is quiet at the moment.
Condo owners on Alexander Street, this one's for us - and it's actually good news. The average HonestDoor Price for condos is $186,526, up 4.63% from the previous period. The predicted market value is $178,270, and it's trending upward from a 3-month moving average of $176,257. Recent price changes show a 9.52% jump. That's real momentum.
On the leaderboard, condos here rank 67 out of 94 neighbourhoods - below average, but nowhere near the bottom. There's room to climb. Compared to nearby streets like Sudbury Street and Shaw Street, where condos are priced significantly higher, Alexander Street condos look like a relative bargain with upward momentum behind them.
Here's the thing about your city tax assessment: it's a snapshot from the past. It doesn't know what happened on your street last month, last quarter, or even last year in real time. The HonestDoor Price is updated continuously using actual market signals - sales data, price trends, neighbourhood comparisons. It's the real-world check against a number the city set months or years ago.
Right now, with house values on Alexander Street shifting downward and condo values moving up, the gap between your assessment and your actual market value could be significant - in either direction. If your assessment is too high, you might be overpaying on property taxes. If it's too low, you could be leaving money on the table in a sale negotiation. Either way, you need the current number, not the old one.
For house owners: the market is taking a breather. That doesn't mean you can't sell - it means you need to price smart. With Alexander Street houses ranking near the bottom of St. John's for growth right now, buyers have options. Your best move is to get your HonestDoor Price, compare it honestly to nearby streets like Upper Springdale Street ($315,665) and Shaw Street ($297,044), and price to stand out - not to chase a number from six months ago.
For condo owners: your timing is better. Values are climbing, momentum is positive, and you're priced below comparable streets in the area. If you've been sitting on the fence, this summer is worth a serious look. A 9.52% recent price change is not a small thing.
Bottom line - whether you own a house or a condo on Alexander Street, the single most useful thing you can do right now is check your HonestDoor Price. It takes two minutes and gives you the real number, not the government's guess from last year.
