If you own a place on Harbour Drive and you're still going off your last city assessment, you're probably leaving money on the table - or at least working with a number that doesn't reflect what's actually happening on the street right now. Here's the real picture.
Let's be straight with each other. Houses and condos in our neighbourhood are moving in opposite directions right now, and that matters a lot depending on what you own.
Houses: The average HonestDoor Price for a house here sits at $359,375, down about 1.73% from the previous period. The more forward-looking predicted market value comes in at $365,715, which is actually pulling back slightly from the 3-month moving average of $368,619. So yes, houses are taking a breather. That said, this is not a freefall. We're talking about a modest dip in a market that still ranks 24 out of 92 comparable neighbourhoods in St. John's for growth. That puts us solidly in the above-average tier on the neighbourhood leaderboard - most areas in the city are behind us.
Condos: This is where things get interesting. Condo values here are climbing. The average HonestDoor Price is $627,548, up 5.15% from the previous period. The predicted market value is $596,814, and it's trending upward against a 3-month moving average of $554,181. That's real momentum. Condos rank 40 out of 92 neighbourhoods for growth - still above average for St. John's. And if you're thinking about short-term rentals, an Airbnb rank of 19 in the city means we're in a strong spot for that income stream.
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 checking yesterday's weather and looking out the window right now.
For condo owners on Harbour Drive, this gap is especially important. If your city assessment hasn't caught up to that 5.15% price increase, you could be underpricing a listing, underinsuring your property, or just plain underestimating your own net worth. Check your HonestDoor Price today - not next assessment cycle.
For house owners, the HonestDoor Price gives you an honest read on where things stand during this cooling-off period. Knowing the real number means you can make a smart call instead of guessing.
If you own a condo here, the timing is genuinely worth a conversation. Values are up over 5%, the predicted price is rising against its own moving average, and nearby neighbourhoods like Water Street East are priced much higher - meaning buyers priced out of those areas are looking at Harbour Drive. That's buyer demand with your name on it.
If you own a house, don't panic about the dip. A 24-out-of-92 growth rank means we're still outperforming most of St. John's. The rental yield of 5.88% also tells you this property works as an investment if selling right now doesn't feel right. You have options.
Either way, the move is the same - get your current HonestDoor Price, compare it to what your assessment says, and make your decision based on what the market is actually doing today. That's the only number that matters when you're deciding whether to list, hold, or rent.
