If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs on Liverpool Avenue lately, here's what's actually happening. Depending on what type of property you own, your story is completely different - and that gap matters a lot heading into summer.
For those of us in houses, the market is taking a breather. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $274,105, down 2.75% from the previous period. The predicted market value is $281,862, and that number is sliding slightly - it's below the 3-month moving average of $284,364. Not a freefall, but a clear signal that house prices here are softening. On the bright side, if you're a landlord or thinking about becoming one, the rental picture is solid. Estimated rent comes in at $1,513 per month with a rental yield of 6.02%. That's a strong return. Houses on Liverpool Avenue rank 30 out of 92 comparable neighbourhoods in St. John's for growth - that puts us in the above-average tier, even with the recent dip in values.
Condo owners? We're in a completely different conversation. The average HonestDoor Price for condos is $409,049 - up 6.90% from the previous period. The predicted market value is $382,632, and it's climbing past the 3-month moving average of $355,051. Recent value change clocks in at 8.82%. Condos here rank 21 out of 92 neighbourhoods for growth. That's a strong position. Rental estimates hit $2,129 per month, though the yield is more moderate at 4.05%.
Context matters. For houses, Liverpool Avenue at $274,105 sits comfortably above Graves Street ($248,378) and is nearly neck-and-neck with Edinburgh Street ($275,859). Adams Avenue pulls ahead at $306,204, so there's still room for Liverpool Avenue house values to grow into that gap.
For condos, the range is wilder. Graves Street ($398,550) and Edinburgh Street ($355,805) are both cheaper than Liverpool Avenue's $409,049. Adams Avenue is in a completely different league at $715,083 - that's an outlier, not a benchmark. What this tells us is that Liverpool Avenue condos are holding a premium position in the mid-market, and buyers are paying for it.
Here's the thing about your city tax assessment - it's a snapshot from the past. It doesn't know that condo values on Liverpool Avenue just moved up 6.90%, or that the predicted market value for houses has shifted since the last assessment cycle. By the time that government number lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved on.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It's pulling from actual market activity, not a once-a-year government estimate. For condo owners especially, that 6.90% increase isn't showing up in your assessment yet - but it's showing up in what buyers are willing to pay today. If you're making any financial decision based on your property - refinancing, selling, even just understanding your net worth - the HonestDoor Price is the number that reflects the real world right now, not last year.
If you own a condo on Liverpool Avenue and you've been sitting on the fence, this summer looks like your window. Values are climbing, the growth rank of 21 out of 92 puts you near the top of the St. John's leaderboard, and the momentum is pointing up. Waiting could work in your favour - but it could also mean chasing a market that's already priced in the good news.
If you own a house, the calculus is a bit different. The market is softer right now, down 2.75%. That doesn't mean panic - a rank of 30 out of 92 still puts Liverpool Avenue houses in above-average territory for St. John's. But if you were hoping to list at peak pricing, the data suggests the peak may have just passed for houses. Selling sooner rather than later, while the rental yield story ($1,513/month at 6.02%) is still attractive to investor buyers, could work in your favour.
Either way, the first step is knowing your actual number. Check your HonestDoor Price before you call an agent, set a list price, or assume your tax assessment tells the full story. It doesn't. Your HonestDoor Price does.
