Shaw Street, St. John's: Here's What Your Home Is Actually Worth Right Now

The Vibe on the Street

If you live on Shaw Street, you've probably wondered whether your home is keeping pace with the rest of St. John's. The short answer: it depends on what you own. Houses and condos are telling two very different stories right now, and both are worth paying attention to.

Houses: Steady, But Taking a Breather

The average HonestDoor Price for a house on Shaw Street sits at $297,044 - down a slim 0.41% from the previous period. That's not a crash. That's a market catching its breath. The 3-month moving average is $304,972, and the current predicted value is $298,273, so prices are drifting slightly below that recent trend line. Worth watching, not worth panicking over.

Where Shaw Street houses shine is on the rental side. A 5.98% rental yield is genuinely strong. If we're renting out a house here, we're pulling in an estimated $1,563 per month. That's real money working for us in the background.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $297,044
• 3-Month Moving Average: $304,972
• Recent Price Change: -3.04%
• Estimated Monthly Rent: $1,563
• Rental Yield: 5.98%
• Airbnb Estimate: $77 per night
• Neighbourhood Growth Rank: 55 out of 92 in St. John's (below average)

On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Shaw Street houses rank 55th out of 92 comparable St. John's neighbourhoods for growth. That puts us in the lower half of the pack. Craigmillar Avenue is outpricing us at $382,885, and even Sudbury Street edges us out at $303,648. Blackmarsh Road East comes in cheaper at $250,002, so we're not at the bottom - we're in the middle of the road.

Condos: A Surprise Mover

The condo picture is more interesting. Yes, the average HonestDoor Price dipped 3.93% to $274,138 - that's a bigger drop than houses. But here's the twist: the predicted value right now is $285,342, and that number is climbing above the 3-month moving average of $250,421. In plain terms, condo values on Shaw Street appear to be bouncing back after a soft patch.

The recent price change of 40.44% is a striking number. That kind of swing tells us the condo segment here has been volatile - which means opportunity, but also reason to stay informed rather than guess.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $274,138
• 3-Month Moving Average: $250,421
• Recent Price Change: +40.44%
• Estimated Monthly Rent: $1,401
• Rental Yield: 4.21%
• Airbnb Estimate: $68 per night
• Neighbourhood Growth Rank: 40 out of 94 in St. John's (above average)

On the leaderboard, Shaw Street condos rank 40th out of 94 - that puts us in the above-average tier. We're ahead of Craigmillar Avenue ($243,324) and Sudbury Street ($266,627) on predicted value. That's a decent position to be in.

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

Here's the thing about city assessments - they're snapshots from the past. By the time the assessment lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling in current sales data to give us a live read on what a buyer would actually pay today.

On Shaw Street right now, that gap matters. A house assessed months ago won't reflect the recent softening in the 3-month trend. A condo assessed before the recent bounce won't capture the recovery. If we're making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just benchmarking our net worth - the HonestDoor Price is the number to use, not a figure that's been sitting in a government file since last year.

The So What - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

If you own a house on Shaw Street and you're eyeing a summer sale, the window is open but it's not wide. Prices are slightly off their 3-month high, and the growth rank of 55 out of 92 means we're not in a hot-demand zone. Pricing sharp and presenting well will matter more this summer than it did a year ago.

If you own a condo, the timing is actually more interesting. The predicted value is climbing above the recent moving average, and our leaderboard rank of 40 out of 94 puts us in a better competitive spot. A well-priced condo on Shaw Street this summer could catch buyers who've been priced out of Sudbury Street or Craigmillar Avenue.

Either way, the first move is simple - check your HonestDoor Price today. Know your real number before you talk to anyone. That's how we go into any conversation with the upper hand.
