If you live on Alexander Street and you're still relying on your city tax assessment to know what your home is worth, you're working with old information. The market has moved. Here's the real picture.
The two property types on our street are telling very different stories right now, and it's worth knowing which one you're in.
Houses: The average HonestDoor Price sits at $258,977, up a modest 0.79% from the previous period. That sounds steady, but dig a little deeper and the short-term picture gets more honest. The predicted market value for houses is $256,938, and that number is sliding - it's down from a 3-month moving average of $269,446. Property values have shifted by -5.86% recently. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, our houses rank 91 out of 91 for growth in St. John's. That's the bottom of the pack. No sugarcoating it - houses here are taking a breather, and sellers need to know that going in.
Condos: This is where the story flips. The average HonestDoor Price for condos is $190,638, which is down 4.94% from the previous period. But the predicted market value tells a more encouraging story - it's at $200,538, and that number is actually climbing above the 3-month moving average of $188,579. Recent value change is up 7.39%. On the leaderboard, condos here rank 37 out of 92 in St. John's - that's above average. If we own a condo on Alexander Street, we're in a better spot than most people realize.
Here's the thing about your city assessment - it's a snapshot from months ago, sometimes longer. It doesn't know what happened to prices last quarter. It doesn't track the 3-month moving average. It definitely doesn't know that house values on Alexander Street have shifted by nearly 6% recently.
The HonestDoor Price is a real-world check. It pulls current market signals and updates in real time, so when you look at it today, you're seeing today's picture - not last year's. For house owners on our street, that means understanding the gap between the 3-month average of $269,446 and where the predicted value sits now at $256,938. That gap is real money. For condo owners, it means seeing that momentum is actually building, even if the headline number dipped.
Waiting for your next tax assessment to tell you what your home is worth is like checking last season's weather forecast. Check your HonestDoor Price now.
If you own a house on Alexander Street and a "For Sale" sign is on your mind, move with urgency and price it sharp. The growth rank of 91 out of 91 means we are not in a neighbourhood where sellers can afford to sit and wait for a better offer. Nearby streets like Upper Springdale Street, Sudbury Street, and Shaw Street are all priced higher, which means buyers shopping in this part of St. John's have options. Your edge has to be price and presentation.
If you own a condo, the timing is actually interesting. Values are trending up from the 3-month average, the growth rank puts us in the top half of the city, and a 7.39% recent value change gives you something real to work with in a listing conversation. This summer could be a reasonable window to test the market.
Either way - house or condo - the first step is the same. Pull your HonestDoor Price today, compare it to what your assessment says, and you'll immediately see why the two numbers are not the same thing. One is current. One is not.
