If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs in Model Farm lately, here is what is actually happening. The market is taking a breather. The average HonestDoor Price for homes in our neighbourhood sits at $435,091 - and that number has dipped 5.62% from the previous period. The predicted market value for houses is coming in at $460,992, which is already sliding below the 3-month moving average of $473,278. That gap tells us the momentum is pointing downward, not up.
We are not in freefall, but we are not climbing either. For homeowners who have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for prices to bounce back, this data is worth paying attention to right now.
Here is the honest truth about where we rank. Model Farm sits at 8 out of 9 neighbourhoods in Quispamsis for growth. That puts us near the bottom of the local leaderboard right now. It does not mean your home has no value - it means the competition around us is outperforming us, and that matters if you are pricing to sell.
Look at the neighbours for context. Quispamsis overall is averaging $577,859 - that is a significant premium over what we are seeing in Model Farm. Ritchie Lake is sitting at $555,662. Even Blairs, which is cheaper than us at $410,620, is in the same growth conversation. We are sandwiched between a cheaper option and much pricier ones, which makes accurate pricing here more critical than ever.
Your city assessment is a snapshot frozen in time. It gets updated once a year - sometimes less - and it has no idea what happened to comparable sales on your street last month. The HonestDoor Price is a real-world check that updates with actual market movement. Right now, with values shifting by -7.29%, a stale government assessment could have you thinking your home is worth more than buyers are actually willing to pay today.
That gap between what you think your home is worth and what the market says it is worth - that is the gap that costs sellers time and money. Checking your HonestDoor Price right now is not just a curiosity. It is the difference between pricing your home to sell and pricing it to sit.
If selling this summer is on your radar, the data is sending a clear signal - do not wait for conditions to improve on their own. With a growth rank of 8 out of 9 and a 3-month trend pointing downward, the window for getting ahead of further softening is open right now, not in the fall.
The silver lining? If selling is not the plan, Model Farm still has a strong rental story. A 5.71% rental yield is genuinely solid. Estimated rent of $2,189 per month means holding this property as a rental makes real financial sense while you wait for the market to find its footing again.
Bottom line - if you are selling, price it sharp and move now. If you are holding, the rental numbers have your back. Either way, pull your HonestDoor Price today so you are working with real numbers, not last year's assessment.
