Property Overview: 106 Eagleview Road, Bridgwater Lakes
Key Features & Ideal Buyer
This well-maintained two-storey home, built in 2015, offers modern living in the popular Bridgwater Lakes community. Its key appeal lies in a balance of space, age, and value within a newer Winnipeg suburb. The home sits on a generous 5,500+ sqft lot and features 1,833 sqft of living space, an attached garage, and a full (unrenovated) basement ready for future customization.
The property’s strength is its relative newness and above-average footprint compared to much of Winnipeg, ranking in the top 14% of the city for living area. While it sits in the middle of its immediate street and neighbourhood for size and value, its construction year is notably newer than most homes in the wider city, offering contemporary building standards without the premium of a brand-new build. It would suit a young family or professional couple looking for a move-in ready home in a planned community, who value the potential of a blank-canvas basement and appreciate a property that is newer than over 90% of Winnipeg’s housing stock. A thoughtful perspective is that this home represents a "modern middle ground"—it avoids the high costs and potential issues of older properties while also being past the initial depreciation of a brand-new build, offering settled-in comfort with modern efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this property really compare to its neighbours?
The data shows a mixed picture. The home’s lot and living space are larger than about half the homes on its street, but its assessed and recent sold value are in the lower 60th percentile locally. This suggests it may offer better physical space for the price compared to some immediate neighbours, but isn’t a top-tier property on this specific street.
2. What does the "Top 8%" ranking for year built in Winnipeg mean?
It means this 2015-built home is newer than approximately 92% of all residential properties in Winnipeg. This is a significant advantage, indicating modern construction codes, materials, and systems, which typically translate to better energy efficiency and lower immediate maintenance costs than the city's older housing majority.
3. The basement is noted as "not renovated." What should I expect?
Expect a full, unfinished basement. It has been used for storage or basic utilities since the home was built. This is a key opportunity space for future expansion (like a rec room, home gym, or additional bedroom) but will require a full investment to finish.
4. The home sold very recently in August 2024. Why is it back on the market?
While the specific reason isn't provided, a quick resale can sometimes relate to a change in the buyer's personal circumstances, an investment flip, or a relocation. It’s a point worth discussing with your agent to inquire about the sale history and any known factors.
5. Are the assessed value and recent sale price reliable indicators for my offer?
They are important benchmarks. The 2024 sale price of $57.80k is very close to the current assessed value of $58.40k, indicating the market recently validated the assessment. This alignment suggests a stable, non-speculative price point, but market conditions, the home’s condition, and buyer demand will ultimately determine its current value.
