If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs in Bell's Turn lately, the picture is a bit mixed - but there's more good news here than bad. It really depends on what you own.
Houses: The average HonestDoor Price for a house sits at $319,816, which is down a modest 1.73% from the previous period. Think of it as the market taking a short breather, not falling off a cliff. The stronger signal is the predicted market value of $325,444 - already climbing past the 3-month moving average of $322,876. That upward trend matters. Recent price movement clocks in at 2.84%, and on the neighbourhood leaderboard for house growth across St. John's, we rank 14th out of 92 neighbourhoods. That puts us in the top tier of the city. Not bad at all.
Condos: This is where Bell's Turn is quietly turning heads. The average HonestDoor Price for a condo is $286,248 - up 7.59% from the previous period. The predicted market value sits at $266,046, and the 3-month moving average has jumped from $229,617. That is a serious upward move in a short window. Condo growth ranks 28th out of 92 neighbourhoods in St. John's, placing us well above average for the city.
Here is the thing about your city assessment: it is a snapshot from the past. By the time that number lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved on. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual sales data and current market signals. It is the real-world check against a number that was calculated months ago using old information.
Right now, with house values trending upward toward $325,444 and condo values making a strong run, the gap between what the city thinks your home is worth and what a buyer would actually pay could be significant. If you are making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, or just figuring out where you stand - your HonestDoor Price gives you the current picture, not last year's.
Compared to nearby neighbourhoods, Bell's Turn is priced more accessibly than Halley Drive ($525,769 for houses), London Road ($400,570), and Parliament Street ($449,253). That gap is actually an advantage - buyers priced out of those streets look at Bell's Turn first.
If you own a condo in Bell's Turn, the timing conversation is worth having right now. A 7.59% price increase and a rental yield of 4.23% means buyers - including investors - have real reasons to be interested. Supply and demand are working in your favour.
If you own a house, the short-term dip of 1.73% is not a reason to panic. The predicted value is already recovering, the growth rank of 14th in the city is strong, and a rental yield of 5.95% signals that buyers see long-term value here. Summer inventory tends to be competitive across St. John's, and Bell's Turn's relative affordability compared to Halley Drive and Parliament Street keeps us on buyers' shortlists.
The bottom line: Bell's Turn is not the flashiest address in St. John's, but the numbers show a neighbourhood that is holding its ground on houses and genuinely picking up speed on condos. If you are thinking about a move, get your HonestDoor Price first - then you walk into any conversation knowing exactly where you stand.
