If you own on Craigmillar Avenue, you're sitting in one of the more established pockets of St. John's. The numbers tell an interesting story - one that looks different depending on whether you own a house or a condo. Let's break it down for us locals.
The average HonestDoor Price for a house on Craigmillar Avenue is $382,885 - up 0.89% from the previous period. That's steady, not flashy, but steady pays the bills. The predicted market value sits at $379,489, which is just slightly below the 3-month moving average of $381,108. In plain terms, prices are taking a small breather right now. Nothing alarming - just the market catching its breath.
Here's the stat worth bragging about at the backyard barbecue: houses here rank 21 out of 92 comparable neighbourhoods in St. John's for growth. That puts us solidly above average on the neighbourhood leaderboard. Most streets in this city are behind us.
That 5.85% rental yield is the number landlords should be circling. It means if you're renting your house out, you're getting a strong return compared to most of the city. And compared to nearby streets - Shaw Street at $297,044, Sudbury Street at $303,648, and James Lane at $321,576 - Craigmillar Avenue houses are priced higher, which reflects what buyers are actually willing to pay to be here.
The condo picture on Craigmillar Avenue is where things get genuinely interesting. The average HonestDoor Price is $243,324, up 2.04% from the previous period. The predicted market value is $238,464 - but here's the headline number: that predicted value is up against a 3-month moving average of just $217,149. That's a significant jump upward, and it signals real momentum building in the condo segment.
The recent value change of 39.54% is a number that deserves a second look. That kind of movement suggests this segment has been repricing fast. Condos here rank 49 out of 94 comparable neighbourhoods - right in the middle of the pack, which means there's room to climb.
One thing to note: nearby condos on Shaw Street ($285,342) and Sudbury Street ($266,627) are priced higher right now. That gap could mean Craigmillar Avenue condos are undervalued - or it could mean buyers are pricing in something specific to those streets. Either way, it's worth watching closely.
Here's the honest truth about your city assessment: it's a snapshot from the past. The city looks at sale data from a set period, runs its formula, and mails you a number that might be 12 to 18 months out of date by the time it lands in your mailbox. A lot can change in that time - and on Craigmillar Avenue, it clearly has.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It pulls from actual current market activity, not last year's numbers. If your city assessment says your house is worth $340,000 but the HonestDoor Price says $382,885, that gap is not a rounding error - that's real money you might be leaving on the table when you price a listing, negotiate a sale, or even just understand your own net worth.
Check your HonestDoor Price now. Don't wait for the next assessment letter to tell you what the market already knows.
If you own a house on Craigmillar Avenue and you've been thinking about listing, here's the straight talk. Prices are slightly off their recent peak - that -0.64% dip is real. But you're still ranked 21 out of 92 neighbourhoods in this city. Buyers who want to be in a well-positioned St. John's neighbourhood are still looking at streets like ours first.
Summer is typically when buyer activity picks up and listings get more eyeballs. If you price based on your HonestDoor Price rather than a stale assessment, you're starting the conversation in the right place. Pricing too low because your assessment is behind the times is the most common and most expensive mistake sellers make.
For condo owners, the momentum in your segment is real. That jump above the 3-month moving average is the kind of signal that suggests now - not six months from now - might be the right window to act, especially while nearby streets are still priced higher and buyers are comparison shopping.
Bottom line: Craigmillar Avenue is not a street you apologize for owning on. Know your number, price it right, and move with confidence.
