## Amenity Distribution

Wishingwell Park includes 32 mapped amenity points across four categories. The largest group consists of 22 transit stops located along streets such as Empire Avenue and Freshwater Road. These stops provide potential access to public transportation networks within the neighbourhood boundary.

## City market context

From the St. John's market article, 11 October 2026:

St. John's housing market shows a sharp divergence between low inventory levels and declining sales volumes. The city maintains a seller's environment with 4.3 months of stock against an 8.3-month historical norm. St. John's housing inventory sits at 4.3 months, roughly half the long-run average of 8.3 months, creating a persistent seller advantage despite recent sales declines.
