If you own on Hayward Avenue, the story depends a lot on what type of property you have. Houses and condos are moving in completely different directions - and that gap matters for your wallet.
For houses, the market is taking a breather. The HonestDoor Price sits at an average of $337,740, up a modest 0.83% from the previous period. But the 3-month moving average tells a more cautious story - the predicted value of $334,976 is sitting below that $340,021 average, which means prices have drifted slightly lower in the short term. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, houses here rank 63 out of 92 comparable areas in St. John's. That puts us in below-average growth territory. Not a crisis, but not a sprint either.
Condos are a completely different conversation. The average HonestDoor Price for a condo on Hayward Avenue is $684,364 - up a strong 7.29% from the previous period. The predicted value of $637,864 is actually climbing above the 3-month moving average of $549,931, which signals real upward momentum. On the leaderboard, condos here rank 24 out of 92 neighbourhoods. That puts us in above-average growth territory for St. John's, and that is a number worth paying attention to.
Here is the thing about your city assessment: it is a snapshot from the past. By the time it lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved on. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual sales activity and current market signals. For condo owners on Hayward Avenue right now, that difference is not small. A 7.29% jump is the kind of move that a static government assessment will not reflect until it is too late to act on it.
For house owners, the HonestDoor Price is equally useful - but for a different reason. It gives you an honest read on where things actually stand, not where they stood 18 months ago. If your assessment is inflated relative to today's predicted value of $334,976, that is information you can use. If it is lower, same deal. Either way, you deserve the real number, not the government's best guess from last year.
If you own a condo on Hayward Avenue, this summer is worth a serious look. Values are climbing, momentum is building, and a rank of 24 out of 92 means buyers shopping St. John's are increasingly landing in your corner of the city. Harbour Drive condos are averaging less than yours at $627,548. Harvey Road is higher at $778,764, but you are closing that gap fast. Timing matters, and right now the timing is leaning in your favour.
If you own a house, the picture is more measured. A growth rank of 63 out of 92 means we are not leading the pack. The slight dip in the 3-month trend is worth watching. That does not mean do not sell - it means price it right from day one. Overpricing a house in a below-average growth market is the fastest way to sit on it all summer. Your HonestDoor Price gives you the anchor you need to have that honest conversation with your agent before you list.
On the rental side, houses here are pulling an estimated $1,759 per month with a rental yield of 5.92%. That is a strong return for anyone weighing sell versus hold. Condos show a yield of 3.56% - moderate, but the capital appreciation story is doing the heavy lifting there.
Bottom line - check your HonestDoor Price today. Do not wait for a letter from the city to tell you what your home is worth. By then, the market will have already moved again.
