North End, Saint John - October 2026 Real Estate Report
North End, Saint John: Here's What Your Home Is Actually Worth Right Now
If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs around North End lately, you're probably wondering if the market is still working in your favour. Short answer: it depends on what you own. Here's the real breakdown, no fluff.
The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos in North End
We're seeing two very different stories playing out on our streets right now, and it's worth knowing which one applies to you.
Houses
If you own a house in North End, the numbers are holding up reasonably well. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $359,242, down just 0.10% from the previous period. That's barely a blip. The predicted market value is $361,301, which is actually sitting slightly above the 3-month moving average of $362,437 - so we're in a gentle slide, not a freefall.
- Average HonestDoor Price: $359,242 (down 0.10%)
- Predicted Market Value: $361,301
- 3-Month Moving Average: $362,437
- Recent Value Change: -0.98%
- Average Rental Estimate: $1,676 per month
- Rental Yield: 5.94% - that's a strong return
- Airbnb Estimate: $83 per night
- Transactions in 2026: 18 sales (ranks 8th in Saint John for volume)
- Growth Rank: 14 out of 33 neighbourhoods - solidly above average on the Saint John leaderboard
That 5.94% rental yield is the number landlords in our neighbourhood should be paying attention to. It means North End houses are pulling real income, not just sitting there hoping for appreciation. We're also beating out nearby Churchill Boulevard, where the predicted value sits at $333,585. Douglas Avenue edges us out at $376,188, and Uptown is in a completely different price bracket at $678,728 - but that's a different market entirely.
Condos
The condo picture is more complicated, and we should be honest about it. The average HonestDoor Price for condos in North End is $2,499,375, down 2.12% from the previous period. The predicted value is $2,553,425, but the 3-month moving average is $2,766,058 - meaning values have dropped noticeably in a short window. The recent change of -7.50% is a number that deserves attention.
- Average HonestDoor Price: $2,499,375 (down 2.12%)
- Predicted Market Value: $2,553,425
- 3-Month Moving Average: $2,766,058
- Recent Value Change: -7.50%
- Average Rental Estimate: $7,962 per month
- Rental Yield: 2.17% - moderate, not a standout
- Airbnb Estimate: $395 per night (ranks 5th in Saint John - a genuine bright spot)
- Growth Rank: 5 out of 7 condo neighbourhoods - below average on the leaderboard
The Airbnb ranking of 5th in all of Saint John is legitimately strong for condo owners who want to run short-term rentals. But the overall value trend is taking a real breather right now, and condo owners here should be watching their numbers closely.
The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment
Here's the thing most North End homeowners don't realize. Your city tax assessment is a snapshot from the past - sometimes 12 to 18 months old by the time it lands in your mailbox. The market doesn't wait for paperwork.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual transaction data. With 18 house sales already recorded in 2026 in our neighbourhood alone, there's fresh data moving the needle right now. If you're making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just curious about your equity - the HonestDoor Price is the number that reflects what a buyer would actually pay today, not what the government guessed last year.
For house owners sitting at $359,242 on average, that gap between your HonestDoor Price and your assessment could mean real money left on the table if you're not paying attention.
The So What: Thinking About Selling This Summer?
For house owners, this summer is still a reasonable window. Values are easing slightly, but we're ranked 14th out of 33 Saint John neighbourhoods for growth - that's a respectable position. You're not in a rush, but you're also not in a position to wait indefinitely if the -0.98% trend continues. Pricing sharp and moving quickly will matter more than it did a year ago.
For condo owners, the honest advice is to check your HonestDoor Price before you set a list price. A -7.50% recent change means the market has moved faster than most sellers expect. The good news is that Airbnb demand is strong - if selling right now doesn't pencil out, short-term rental income at an estimated $395 per night is a real alternative worth running the numbers on.
Either way, don't guess. Pull your HonestDoor Price, compare it to what's actually sold in North End this year, and make your move with real numbers in hand.
