If you own a house in St. Mary, you have been sitting on something real. The average HonestDoor Price here is $210,966 - that is an 11.26% jump from the previous period. That kind of move is not noise. That is your equity growing in a market where a lot of neighbourhoods are standing still.
On the rental side, we are looking at an average estimate of $1,115 per month. If you have ever thought about renting out your place or a suite, that number tells you the demand is there. Airbnb is also a legitimate option here - St. Mary ranks 10th in all of Bathurst for short-term rental potential, with an estimated $55 per night. That is not a side hustle. That is a real income stream.
Here is where St. Mary stands out. When you stack us up against nearby neighbourhoods, the gap is clear. Rough Waters is sitting at $182,051. Roy Settlement is at $167,981. East Bathurst comes in at $177,795. Every single one of them is cheaper than St. Mary. That price premium is not an accident - it reflects what buyers are actually willing to pay to be here.
On the growth leaderboard, houses in St. Mary rank 9 out of 13 comparable neighbourhoods in Bathurst. That is a below-average position right now, and it is worth being honest about. The 3-month moving average has dipped to $203,830, and the predicted value of $192,977 reflects a recent shift of -4.83%. The market is taking a breather on the short-term trend. But the longer view - that 11.26% jump in the HonestDoor Price - tells a different story about where this neighbourhood has been heading.
Here is the thing about your city tax assessment. It is a snapshot from the past. By the time it lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved. In a neighbourhood like St. Mary, where prices have climbed over 11% in a single period, that lag can cost you real money - whether you are selling, refinancing, or just trying to understand what you actually own.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It pulls from actual transaction data - and with 9 property sales already recorded in 2026, there is fresh, local data feeding that number right now. The rental yield on houses here sits at 6.10%. That is a strong return by any measure, and it is the kind of detail a static government assessment will never show you.
Think of the HonestDoor Price as the real-world check. It is what a buyer would actually put on paper today - not what a government office decided your home was worth two years ago.
If you are thinking about listing this summer, here is the straight talk. The short-term numbers show some softening - the predicted value is running below the 3-month average, and the recent change of -4.83% means the peak of the immediate run-up may have passed. Waiting for another spike is not a guaranteed play.
But here is what works in your favour. St. Mary still commands a premium over every nearby neighbourhood. Buyers who get priced out of St. Mary are not disappearing - they are settling for Rough Waters or Roy Settlement. That means demand for your street is real. With only 9 transactions in the market so far this year, inventory is tight. Tight inventory and motivated buyers is still a decent place to be as a seller.
The move right now is to pull your HonestDoor Price, compare it to what you paid or what the city assessed, and have an honest conversation about timing. The data is there. Use it.
