If you live on Broad Street and you have not checked your HonestDoor Price lately, you might be leaving real money on the table - or making decisions based on a number that is already out of date. Here is the straight story on what is happening in our corner of Saint John.
We are seeing a split market on Broad Street right now, and it matters which type of property you own.
Houses are holding steady with some nuance. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $385,979, up 3.79% from the previous period. That is a solid gain. The predicted market value for houses is currently $374,807, which is slightly below the 3-month moving average of $383,399 - meaning the short-term trend has dipped a touch. Values have shifted by -1.76% recently, so we are taking a small breather after that run-up. The good news? On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Broad Street houses rank 5th out of 32 comparable neighbourhoods in Saint John for growth. That is a top-performer position. We are near the front of the pack.
Condos are a different conversation. The average HonestDoor Price is $717,700, but it has dropped 7.50% from the previous period. That is a number worth paying attention to. On the flip side, the predicted market value is actually $775,900 - above the 3-month moving average of $734,000 and up 3.87% recently. So while the broader average pulled back, the forward-looking signal is pointing up. Condos on Broad Street rank 10th out of 16 comparable neighbourhoods for growth - below average for the condo segment. If you own a condo here, now is the time to watch this closely.
Here is the thing about your city tax assessment - it is a snapshot taken in the past. By the time it lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual transaction data and current market signals. For Broad Street house owners, that means the 3.79% gain we are seeing right now is already baked into your HonestDoor Price. Your tax assessment? It has no idea that happened yet.
For condo owners, this matters even more. The gap between the HonestDoor Price of $717,700 and the predicted value of $775,900 tells a story that a static government number simply cannot. One number looks back. The other looks forward. When you are making a decision about selling, refinancing, or even just knowing your net worth, you want the number that is actually current.
Compare us to the neighbours: Uptown condos are sitting at an average of $665,370 for houses and $710,850 for condos. Our Broad Street condo average is above Uptown - and the predicted value of $775,900 puts us even further ahead. That context is invisible in a tax assessment.
For house owners, the timing conversation is real. You are ranked 5th out of 32 neighbourhoods for growth in Saint John. That is a strong position to sell from. The short-term dip of -1.76% is minor - it is not a trend, it is a blip. A rental yield of 5.89% also means buyers who are investors are paying attention to Broad Street. That adds to your buyer pool.
For condo owners, the picture is more mixed. The 7.50% drop in the average HonestDoor Price is worth a conversation with someone who knows the street. The predicted value trending upward to $775,900 is encouraging, but the growth rank of 10 out of 16 means other condo neighbourhoods in Saint John are outpacing us right now. If you are thinking about selling, do not wait for the market to sort itself out - get your HonestDoor Price today and make the call with current numbers in hand.
Bottom line: Broad Street is not a neighbourhood to sleep on. Houses are punching above their weight on the Saint John leaderboard. Condos have some catching up to do but the short-term signal is pointing in the right direction. Either way, the smartest move you can make right now is knowing exactly what your home is worth - not what the city said it was worth a year ago.
