There were a good number of new listings for the St. John’s, Mount Pearl and surrounding areas in June. Buyers still out number the sellers as noted from the number of sales which is up again this month.  Two apartment homes and investment properties are in high demand.  Single Family homes in East End St. John’s are short in supply.

Most of the new sub divisions for St. John’s (Clovelly Trails, Roncolli Estates, East Point Landing) are in building demand.  Pine Ridge Creek in Torbay will soon open up the new phase.

Clovelly Trails Lot Prices now available

Clovelly Trails Phase 3a lot prices are now up on the website for the public and purchasers to view. Clovelly Trails appears to be the most popular subdivision in St. John’s this year. 69 of their lots have had deposits on them for months. Some dating back to 2007.

The lot prices range from $69,900 to $94,900 (plus HST). A hefty jump since the last phase (base price was approx $54,900) but the demand is there to justify it.

Almost all subdivisions in St. John’s and Paradise have increased in prices since last year some as much as ten to fifteen percent.
