If you own a place on Bonavista Street East and you're still going off your last city assessment, you're probably working with a number that doesn't reflect what's happening on the ground today. Here's the real picture.
We've got a split market on our hands here, and it matters depending on what you own.
On the house side, things have taken a breather. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $322,464, up a modest 2.96% from the previous period. But the predicted market value for houses is currently $313,184 - and that number is trending down from the 3-month moving average of $323,929. Recent property value change is sitting at -5.11%. On the neighbourhood leaderboard for growth, houses in Bonavista Street East rank 89 out of 91 neighbourhoods in St. John's. That puts us near the bottom of the pack right now. No sugarcoating it.
The condo story is the opposite. Our condo HonestDoor Price averages $540,345, and even though it dipped a tiny 0.28%, the predicted market value of $541,879 is actually climbing above the 3-month moving average of $522,006. Condos here have seen a 5.87% value increase recently, and they rank 63 out of 92 neighbourhoods for growth - below average, but a whole lot better than where houses are sitting. The Airbnb rank for condos is 22 in St. John's, which tells us visitors and short-term renters find this location genuinely appealing.
Here's the thing about city assessments - they're a snapshot from the past. By the time that number lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual sales data and current market signals. It's the difference between knowing what your home was worth and knowing what it's worth today.
For house owners on Bonavista Street East, that gap is especially important right now. The predicted market value of $313,184 is running below the recent average sale price of $330,000. That spread tells us the market is shifting, and if you're relying on an old assessment to make a financial decision, you could be working with a number that's already out of date.
For condo owners, the HonestDoor Price of $540,345 and a rising predicted value of $541,879 suggest your unit may be worth more than any static government number is giving you credit for. That's real equity sitting on the table.
If you own a house here and you're on the fence about selling, the data is telling you something worth listening to. Values have dropped 5.11% recently, the growth rank is near the bottom of St. John's, and the predicted value is sliding below the 3-month average. That doesn't mean panic - but it does mean waiting for the market to "come back" is a gamble right now. If selling is on your radar, sooner is probably smarter than later.
The silver lining for house owners is the rental yield. At 5.97%, if you're not ready to sell, renting your property out at an estimated $1,715 per month is a genuinely strong return. That's a real option worth considering.
If you own a condo, your position is better. Values are trending up, the predicted market value is above the moving average, and short-term rental demand is solid with an Airbnb rank of 22 in St. John's. You have a bit more room to be patient - but keeping an eye on your HonestDoor Price week to week is still the smart move.
Bottom line - whether you're in a house or a condo on Bonavista Street East, check your HonestDoor Price before you make any move. It's the most current number you've got, and right now, current matters more than ever.
