Ricketts Road, St. John's: Your Home Is Worth More Than the City Thinks

The Vibe Right Now

If you live on Ricketts Road and you haven't checked your HonestDoor Price lately, here's the honest truth - the city's assessment is almost certainly out of date. Prices have moved. The question is: which direction, and what does it mean for your wallet?

The short answer is: it depends on what you own. Houses and condos are telling two very different stories on this street right now.

Houses vs. Condos - What We're Actually Seeing

If you own a house on Ricketts Road: The average HonestDoor Price sits at $263,450, up 4.36% from the previous period. That's real money moving in the right direction. But here's the catch - the predicted market value is currently tracking at $252,449, which is down from the 3-month moving average of $262,967. Values have shifted -6.89% recently, and on the neighbourhood growth leaderboard, houses here rank 92 out of 92 in St. John's. Dead last. That's not a number to ignore.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $263,450
• Predicted Market Value: $252,449
• 3-Month Moving Average: $262,967
• Recent Value Change: -6.89%
• Rental Estimate: $1,415/month
• Rental Yield: 6.05% - that is a strong return
• Airbnb Estimate: $70/night
• Growth Rank: 92 out of 92 in St. John's

Neighbours on Brazil Street ($274,990), Beaumont Street East ($277,492), and Lemarchant Road East ($275,711) are all coming in slightly higher. We're not far off, but we are trailing the pack right now.

If you own a condo on Ricketts Road: The story is a bit brighter. The average HonestDoor Price is $345,362, up a solid 8.85% from the previous period. The predicted market value is $317,288, down slightly from the 3-month average of $328,992, but the recent value change is essentially flat at +0.29%. On the condo growth leaderboard, we rank 77 out of 94 - still in the lower tier, but not at the bottom.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $345,362
• Predicted Market Value: $317,288
• 3-Month Moving Average: $328,992
• Recent Value Change: +0.29%
• Rental Estimate: $1,823/month
• Rental Yield: 4.16% - moderate but steady
• Airbnb Estimate: $90/night
• Growth Rank: 77 out of 94 in St. John's

Nearby condos are priced significantly higher - Beaumont Street East averages $528,905 and Lemarchant Road East hits $478,831. That gap tells us Ricketts Road condos still have room to grow relative to the surrounding area.

The Secret Sauce - Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment

Here's the thing about your city assessment: it's a snapshot from the past. It doesn't update when the market shifts, and it definitely doesn't know that condo prices on your street just jumped 8.85%. The HonestDoor Price pulls from real-time data - actual sales, current trends, what buyers are paying right now - not what they were paying two or three years ago when the city last looked.

For house owners especially, this matters a lot right now. If your tax assessment is still anchored to older, higher numbers while the predicted market value is softening, you could be overpaying on your property taxes. Or, if you're thinking about selling, you need a current number - not a stale one - to price it right from day one.

Check your HonestDoor Price. It's the real-world check that the city's paperwork simply cannot give you.

So What? - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

For house owners, this summer calls for a clear-eyed look at the numbers. The market is taking a breather on Ricketts Road. Values are dipping below the 3-month average, and sitting at the bottom of the growth leaderboard means buyers have options nearby. That does not mean you shouldn't sell - it means you need to price it sharp and move with intention. A home priced right in a softer market still sells. One priced on wishful thinking sits.

For condo owners, the picture is more encouraging. An 8.85% HonestDoor Price increase is a real tailwind. If you've been sitting on the fence, this summer could be a solid window - especially before the gap between Ricketts Road and pricier nearby streets like Beaumont and Lemarchant narrows further.

Either way, the move right now is to get your HonestDoor Price, compare it to what you paid, and have an honest conversation about your timing. The data is there. Use it.
