Paradise and Mount Pearl at a glance

Paradise and Mount Pearl are two separate municipalities on the Avalon, side by side between St. John's and Conception Bay South. Mount Pearl is a city that borders the west side of St. John's. Paradise is a town just west of Mount Pearl, on the way toward Conception Bay South.

Each has its own council, property tax rates, and town services. So before you compare two homes, check which town each one is in. A few minutes on the town's website can save you a surprise on your tax bill.

In both towns you'll find single-family homes, homes with a basement apartment, townhouses and row houses, and some condos.

Paradise and Mount Pearl compared: home ages, lot sizes, and routes

Home ages. Much of Mount Pearl was built from the 1960s through the 1980s, so many homes there are bungalows and split-levels on established streets. Paradise has grown quickly since the 1990s, so much of its housing is newer, and new subdivisions are still being built. An older home can mean a bigger lot and mature trees. A newer one can mean newer windows, roof, and heating. Either way, the inspection tells you what you're buying.

Lot sizes. Lots vary from street to street and subdivision to subdivision in both towns. Check the survey, where the lot lines are, and any easements before you fall in love with the backyard.

Routes. Topsail Road runs through both towns. The Trans-Canada Highway (Route 1) and Pitts Memorial Drive (Route 2) are the main highway routes into St. John's. Before you buy, drive your daily routes at the times you would actually travel them, morning and evening, in both directions.

Buying your first home in Paradise or Mount Pearl

Buying your first home has a lot of steps, and I take them one at a time with you:

  1. Get your mortgage pre-approval from the lender of your choice, so you know what you can spend. Ask your lender about any first-time buyer programs.
  2. Look at homes, and compare recent sold prices for the same kind of home nearby.
  3. Write an offer, usually with conditions for financing and an inspection, each with a date.
  4. Book the home inspection and read the report together.
  5. Once the conditions are removed, the deal is firm, and your Newfoundland and Labrador real estate lawyer handles the closing.

There's no such thing as a silly question. I was an educator before real estate, and explaining things clearly is what I do.

Selling in Paradise or Mount Pearl

I price Paradise and Mount Pearl homes from recent sold prices, not asking prices, and I adjust for size, condition, updates, and lot. You get the numbers in writing before you decide to list.

Every listing gets professional photos, drone photos, a video or virtual tour, and posts on my Facebook and Instagram pages. It's listed on the MLS® System through BlueKey Realty Inc., so it appears on Realtor.ca. If you're also buying, we plan the timing of the sale and the purchase together, so you aren't caught in between.

What a top-rated real estate agent near Paradise checks first

Whoever you hire, these are the facts worth checking before a home is priced or an offer is written:

  1. Sold prices, not asking prices, for the same type of home in the same town.
  2. Which town the home is in, and that town's property tax and services.
  3. The age of the roof, windows, heating system, and electrical, and whether the home has, or ever had, an oil tank.
  4. The lot: the survey, the lot lines, and any easements.
  5. Your daily routes, driven at the times you would travel them.

And check the agent: the brokerage, the licence on the Service NL registry, and reviews written in clients' own words.
