Vacation Rentals: Many people on St. John rent out their homes to vacationing tourists which can be reasonably lucrative. Homes that have a history of more consistent rent tend to be valued higher.

Appreciation:  St. John has experienced consistent appreciation over time, particularly in the top-tier spots such as Cruz Bay and Peter Bay, while external economic factors will dictate the headline price over shorter periods of time, it is worth noting that given a world where supply constrictions persist and steady demand for gold stays on path; the long term trajectory appears to be up.
