If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs around Upper Springdale Street lately, here's the honest read: it's a split story depending on what you own. Houses and condos are moving in completely different directions right now, and that gap matters a lot if you're thinking about your next move.
Let's be straight about houses. The HonestDoor Price is sitting at $301,312, down a small 0.28% from last period. The predicted market value is $302,172, but that number is sliding - it's down from a 3-month moving average of $311,023. That's a -4.27% shift, and it puts us at rank 86 out of 91 neighbourhoods in St. John's for growth. That's bottom of the leaderboard territory, and we shouldn't sugarcoat it.
What does that mean in plain terms? If you own a house here, values have softened. Not crashed, but softened. The good news is that rental demand is holding up well.
That 5.98% rental yield is the silver lining here. If you're not selling, renting your house out is a genuinely solid play right now. Nearby streets like Brazil Street ($262,292), Alexander Street ($258,977), and Ricketts Road ($251,214) are all priced lower than us, which tells you Upper Springdale Street still commands a premium in this pocket of the city.
Condos on Upper Springdale Street are doing something interesting. The HonestDoor Price dropped 9.93% to $206,652 - that's a notable dip. But the predicted market value tells a more optimistic story at $229,439, which is actually climbing above the 3-month moving average of $211,641. Recent value change is up 7.99%, and we rank 23 out of 92 neighbourhoods for condo growth. That puts us in the top quarter of St. John's - a very different position than our houses.
For condo owners, the momentum is pointing upward. The predicted value of $229,439 is already ahead of nearby Alexander Street condos at $200,538. That gap is worth paying attention to.
Here's the thing about your city assessment: it's a snapshot from the past. The city looks at sale data from a set period, runs its numbers, and mails you a letter. By the time it lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved on.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It's pulling from actual current market signals, not last year's data. For house owners on Upper Springdale Street, that means you can see the -4.27% softening right now - not 12 months from now when your next assessment arrives. For condo owners, it means you can see that +7.99% momentum building before your neighbour even knows about it.
Your tax assessment tells you what your home was worth. Your HonestDoor Price tells you what it's worth today. That's the difference between making a decision with old information and making one with a real-world check in your hand.
If you own a house here and you're on the fence about selling, the data is nudging you to move sooner rather than later. Values are sliding from that $311,023 moving average toward $302,172. That's not a panic situation, but waiting for the market to bounce back up is a gamble right now given our rank of 86 out of 91 for growth. Summer inventory typically rises, which means more competition for your listing.
If you own a condo, you're in a better spot. The upward momentum and a top-quarter growth rank of 23 out of 92 mean you have some wind at your back. A summer listing could catch buyers who are being priced out of higher-cost streets nearby like Brazil Street ($352,327 for condos) and Ricketts Road ($345,321). Upper Springdale Street looks like value by comparison.
Either way, pull your HonestDoor Price before you call an agent. Walk into that conversation knowing your number, not guessing at it.
