If you live on Birmingham Street and you haven't checked your HonestDoor Price lately, this is your nudge. The market here is doing something interesting - and your city tax assessment is almost certainly not telling you the full story.
We're seeing a split on Birmingham Street right now, and it matters depending on what you own.
Houses are taking a bit of a breather. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $395,814, down 2.41% from the previous period. The predicted market value for houses is $405,570, which is actually nudging upward from the 3-month moving average of $404,615 - so the short-term direction is positive even if the broader dip stings a little. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, houses here rank 71 out of 92 comparable St. John's neighbourhoods for growth. That puts us in below-average territory, and it's worth being honest about that.
Condos are a different conversation entirely. The average HonestDoor Price for condos on Birmingham Street is $501,664 - up 6.03% from the previous period. The predicted market value is $473,136, climbing sharply from a 3-month moving average of $430,318. That kind of jump in the moving average tells us condo buyers have been paying attention to this street. The rental yield is 3.89%, which is moderate but still respectable for a condo product.
For context, nearby Gladney Street has a house HonestDoor Price of $440,434 - that is about $45,000 more than us. Cherrington Street comes in lower at $380,308. We sit in the middle of the pack on the street-by-street comparison, which is actually a reasonable place to be for buyers who missed the Gladney Street window.
Here is the thing about your city assessment - it is a snapshot from the past. It gets updated on a schedule, not in real time. The market does not wait for that schedule.
The HonestDoor Price is recalculated continuously using actual sales data, market signals, and comparable properties. Right now, that matters because Birmingham Street condos have moved up 6.03% in a single period. If you are relying on last year's assessment to understand what your condo is worth today, you are working with stale information - and that could cost you real money whether you are selling, refinancing, or just trying to understand your net worth.
Think of the HonestDoor Price as the real-world check. It is what the market thinks your home is worth today, not what a government office calculated 12 months ago.
If you own a condo here, the timing conversation is genuinely interesting. A 6.03% increase in the HonestDoor Price combined with a rising 3-month moving average means momentum is on your side. Buyers are active, and the data suggests they are willing to pay more than they were even 90 days ago. If selling has been on your mind, this summer is worth a serious look.
If you own a house, the picture is more nuanced. The -2.41% dip in the HonestDoor Price is real, but the predicted value of $405,570 is still above the moving average - meaning the floor may be holding. A 5.82% rental yield is genuinely strong, so if selling does not feel urgent, holding and renting is a legitimate strategy while you wait for the growth rank to improve from its current 71 out of 92 position.
Either way, the first move is the same - check your HonestDoor Price today. Know your number before you make any decision. That is just good sense.
