Here is the honest answer. The market on Thomas Street is taking a breather, but it is not sitting still. Prices have dipped slightly, but the fundamentals - rental demand, predicted values, and neighbourhood rank - tell a more interesting story than a single percentage drop.
If you own a house here, we are sitting at an average HonestDoor Price of $378,906, down about 2% from the previous period. That sounds like bad news, but zoom out. The predicted market value for houses right now is $386,586, and that number is climbing above the 3-month moving average of $381,540. In plain terms, the short-term dip looks like it is already correcting itself.
That growth rank is worth pausing on. Out of 91 comparable neighbourhoods across St. John's, Thomas Street houses land in the top quarter. That is not a neighbourhood in decline - that is a neighbourhood holding its ground while others slip.
For condo owners, the picture is a bit different. The average HonestDoor Price is $221,950, down 4.27%. But here is the flip side - the predicted value has jumped to $231,850, which is well above the 3-month moving average of $219,633. Condos here just posted a recent price change of positive 7.74%. That is a real swing in the right direction.
Condos rank 28 out of 92 neighbourhoods. Also top-tier. If we are being straight with each other, Thomas Street is punching above its weight on the St. John's leaderboard for both property types.
Here is the thing about your city assessment - it is a snapshot from the past. It does not know what happened to prices last quarter, and it definitely does not know what the predicted value is doing right now. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling in current market signals instead of waiting for the city to catch up.
For houses on Thomas Street, the gap between the HonestDoor Price ($378,906) and the predicted value ($386,586) is already telling you something your tax bill cannot - the market sees upward momentum. If you are making any financial decision based on what the city assessed your home at last year, you are working with old information. That is like checking last winter's weather forecast to decide what to wear today.
Check your HonestDoor Price now. It is the real-world check that reflects what a buyer would actually pay, not what a government spreadsheet says your home was worth 18 months ago.
If you have been sitting on the fence about listing this summer, here is what the data is actually telling you.
For house sellers - the short-term dip is small (-0.35% recently), the predicted value is above the moving average, and you are in a top-25% neighbourhood by growth rank. Buyers are still paying real money for houses here. A rental yield of 5.84% means investors are watching Thomas Street too, which keeps demand from going soft.
For condo sellers - that +7.74% recent price change is a green light worth paying attention to. The predicted value of $231,850 is running ahead of where the 3-month average sits. If you have been waiting for a signal, that is a pretty clear one.
The nearby comparison also works in your favour. Road De Luxe is pricing houses at $495,020 - significantly higher than Thomas Street. Buyers who get priced out of Road De Luxe look at streets like ours next. That kind of spillover demand is quiet, but it is real.
Bottom line - Thomas Street is not a market in trouble. It is a market catching its breath before the next move. If you are selling this summer, get your HonestDoor Price updated and use it as your starting point. Not the assessment. Not a guess. The actual number.
