If you live on Drake Crescent and you're still going off your last city assessment, you're probably working with stale numbers. The market has been moving, and not always in the direction you'd expect. Here's the real picture.
We're seeing a split market on Drake Crescent right now, and it matters a lot depending on what you own.
Houses are holding up well. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $373,159, and the forward-looking predicted value is even stronger at $385,725 - up from a 3-month moving average of $370,493. That upward trend is a good sign. Yes, there's been a 3.26% dip from the previous period, but the trajectory is pointing back up. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Drake Crescent houses rank 16 out of 90 comparable neighbourhoods in St. John's for growth. That puts us in the top tier - not something to shrug off.
Condos are a different conversation. The average HonestDoor Price jumped 40.85% to $225,009, which sounds exciting - but the predicted value has pulled back hard to $159,745, well below the 3-month moving average of $229,361. That's a -31.97% recent change, and a growth rank of 75 out of 94. We're not going to sugarcoat it: the condo segment here is taking a real breather right now.
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 on. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual sales data and current market signals. It's the difference between checking yesterday's weather and looking out your window right now.
For house owners on Drake Crescent, that gap matters. If your assessment is lagging behind the $373,159 to $385,725 range we're seeing, you could be underselling yourself - or overpaying on a refinance decision based on old numbers. Check your HonestDoor Price now, not when the city gets around to updating its files.
Condo owners need this check even more urgently. With values shifting as sharply as they are, a static assessment tells you almost nothing useful about where you actually stand today.
If you own a house on Drake Crescent, the timing conversation is worth having. We're ranked 16 out of 90 neighbourhoods for growth - that's a strong position. The predicted value is climbing above the recent average, and a 5.92% rental yield means buyers who are crunching the numbers will see this as a solid investment, not just a place to live. That broadens your buyer pool.
Compare us to the neighbours: Bally Haly sits at $555,085 for houses and Guzzwell Drive at $393,445. Drake Crescent is priced below both, which means buyers who get priced out of those streets come looking here next. That's a real advantage heading into summer.
If you own a condo, a summer sale needs more thought. The predicted value is sitting well below the HonestDoor average right now, and the growth rank puts us near the bottom of the St. John's condo leaderboard. That doesn't mean don't sell - it means go in with clear eyes and a current HonestDoor Price in hand so you're negotiating from facts, not assumptions.
Bottom line: Drake Crescent is not a one-size-fits-all market right now. House owners have real momentum. Condo owners need to look closely before making a move. Either way, start with your HonestDoor Price - it's the only number that's actually keeping up with the market.
