If you live on Brazil Street and you've been quietly wondering what your place is actually worth, here's the honest read. The market is sending two very different signals depending on what type of property you own - and the gap between them is worth paying attention to.
Let's be straight with each other. Houses on Brazil Street are in a softer patch right now. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $264,839, down 3.69% from the previous period. The predicted market value for houses comes in at $274,990, and that number is sliding - it's down from a 3-month moving average of $281,701. That's a real dip, not just noise.
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, houses here rank 84 out of 92 in St. John's for growth. That puts us near the bottom of the pack. No sugarcoating it.
That said, if you're a landlord or thinking about becoming one, the rental side is holding up. Estimated rent runs about $1,421 to $1,471 per month, with a rental yield of 6.02%. That's a strong return. Airbnb potential adds roughly $71 to $73 per night on top of that, ranking 86th in the city for short-term rental income.
Here's where it gets interesting for us condo owners. While houses are cooling off, condos on Brazil Street are doing the opposite. The average HonestDoor Price for condos is $381,561 - up 8.84% from the previous period. The predicted market value sits at $350,567, and it's climbing past a 3-month moving average of $305,671. That's real upward momentum.
On the leaderboard, condos here rank 30 out of 92 in St. John's for growth. That puts us solidly above average in the city. Compare that to nearby Ricketts Road condos at $345,362 - we're ahead of them right now.
Rental income for condos is estimated at $1,856 to $2,001 per month, with Airbnb potential around $93 to $99 per night, ranking 45th in St. John's for short-term rental. The rental yield comes in at 4.11% - moderate, but the appreciation story is the real headline here.
Here's the thing about your city assessment - it's a snapshot from the past. By the time it lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved. For house owners on Brazil Street, that means your assessment could be overstating what buyers will actually pay today. For condo owners, it could be doing the opposite - leaving real money on the table.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual market signals. It's the difference between knowing what your home was worth and knowing what it's worth right now. If you're making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just comparing yourself to the neighbours - the HonestDoor Price is the number to start with, not the government's year-old guess.
For house owners, the honest answer is: timing matters more than it did a year ago. With prices down 3.69% and the 3-month trend still sliding, waiting for a rebound without a clear reason to expect one is a gamble. If you need to sell, price it sharp and move with confidence. If you can wait, watch the next 60 to 90 days closely.
For condo owners, summer could actually be your moment. Values are up 8.84%, the trend is climbing, and you're outperforming most of the city. Buyers looking at nearby Lemarchant Road East condos - where prices average $496,447 - may find Brazil Street looks like a deal. That's a real competitive edge heading into the summer market.
Either way, pull your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. It's the real-world check that tells you where you actually stand - not where you stood 12 months ago.
