If you live on Harvey Road and you haven't checked your property value lately, now is a good time to look. The market here is doing two very different things depending on what type of property you own - and the gap between your city assessment and your real-world value is wider than most people realize.
Let's be straight with each other. For houses, we're seeing a bit of a breather. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $294,674, which is down 3.45% from the previous period. Average sale prices are holding around $275,000, and only one house traded hands recently - so we're working with a quiet market, not a crashed one. Price per square foot is running about $208.
But here's the thing that matters: the predicted market value for houses is $305,194, and that number is climbing past the 3-month moving average of $303,864. So while the HonestDoor Price dipped slightly, the forward-looking signal is pointing up. Property values have moved 2.19% recently, and on the neighbourhood leaderboard, Harvey Road houses rank 20 out of 92 comparable neighbourhoods in St. John's. That puts us in above-average territory for growth. On affordability, we rank 3 out of 3 in our comparison group - meaning we're among the most accessible entry points in the area.
Condos are a completely different conversation. The average HonestDoor Price for condos here is $778,764 - up 6.51% from the previous period. The predicted market value is $731,181, which is well above the 3-month moving average of $651,875. That's a strong upward trend. Compared to nearby neighbourhoods, Harvey Road condos are priced higher than Harbour Drive ($627,548), Hayward Avenue ($684,364), and Lemarchant Road East ($496,447). We're the premium option on this block.
Here's the problem with your city assessment. It's a snapshot taken months - sometimes over a year - ago. It doesn't know that condo values on Harvey Road just jumped 6.51%. It doesn't know that predicted house values are now sitting above $305,000 while the assessed number might still be anchored to older, lower data.
The HonestDoor Price updates in real time. It pulls in actual market signals, not a bureaucratic calendar. If you're a condo owner here, your city assessment is almost certainly lagging behind what buyers would actually pay today. If you're a house owner, the dip in the HonestDoor Price is worth knowing about now - before you make any decisions - rather than finding out at the wrong moment.
Think of the HonestDoor Price as the number your real estate agent would whisper to you over coffee. The assessment is what the city mailed you. One of those is current. The other one isn't.
For house owners, the honest answer is: the market is taking a breather, but it isn't broken. A 6.00% rental yield means your property is genuinely attractive to investors if retail buyers are slow. With a growth rank of 20 out of 92, you're in a stronger position than most of St. John's. If you need to sell, price it sharp and it will move. If you can wait, the predicted value trend is your friend.
For condo owners, summer could be a real window. A 6.51% price increase, a predicted value climbing well past the 3-month average, and an Airbnb rank of 9 out of 92 in the city - that's a combination that attracts both lifestyle buyers and investors. You're sitting on the most expensive condo product in this immediate area. Buyers looking at Harbour Drive or Hayward Avenue will see Harvey Road and understand why the premium exists.
Either way, the first move is simple. Check your HonestDoor Price today. Know your real number before anyone else in the room does.
