If you own on Lemarchant Road East, here is the honest picture. The market is doing two very different things depending on what type of property you have - and the gap between houses and condos is worth paying attention to.
Our houses are holding their ground. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $270,230, down a slim 1.08% from last period. That is not a crash - that is the market taking a breather. The more telling number is the predicted value of $273,168, which is climbing above the 3-month moving average of $261,865. That upward trend matters.
Compare that to our neighbours. Brazil Street houses are priced a touch higher at $280,422. Spencer Street and Ricketts Road both come in cheaper at $258,516 and $252,449. We are sitting in a comfortable middle ground - not the cheapest, not the priciest, and outpacing most of the city in growth.
The condo story here is more dramatic. The average HonestDoor Price jumped to $461,927 - a 19.78% increase from the previous period. That is a big number. But the predicted value tells a more cautious story at $385,638, which is actually pulling back from the 3-month moving average of $457,644. Values have shifted by -16.88% recently. So what does that mean? It means condo prices ran hot and are now recalibrating. Not collapsing - recalibrating.
Every nearby neighbourhood - Brazil Street, Spencer Street, Ricketts Road - has lower condo prices than us. That tells you Lemarchant Road East condos carry a premium in this corner of St. John's.
Here is the thing about your city assessment. It is a snapshot from months ago, sometimes longer. It does not know that house values in our neighbourhood are trending upward right now. It does not know that condo prices spiked nearly 20% and are now finding a new floor. The HonestDoor Price updates in real time, pulling in actual market signals - not bureaucratic lag. If you are making any decision about your property - selling, refinancing, even just understanding your net worth - the HonestDoor Price is the number that reflects today, not last year.
For house owners, the timing is genuinely decent. Values are ticking up, we rank in the top quarter of St. John's neighbourhoods for growth, and buyers looking at Brazil Street prices might find us an attractive alternative. A 6.02% rental yield also means investors are watching this street. That is buyer competition in your favour.
For condo owners, be clear-eyed. The HonestDoor Price of $461,927 looks strong, but the predicted value and recent trend suggest the peak may have just passed. If you have been sitting on a condo here and thinking about listing, this summer could be the window before that gap narrows further. Waiting for your next tax assessment to confirm what to do would be a mistake - by the time that paper arrives, the moment may have moved.
Bottom line: Lemarchant Road East is not a neighbourhood in trouble. It is a neighbourhood in motion. Know your real number, and make your move with eyes open.
