Property Overview: 236 Windflower Road, Bridgwater Trails
Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer
This two-storey home, built in 2020, offers modern living in the popular Bridgwater Trails neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in a combination of newer construction, above-average space, and a renovated basement, providing a move-in-ready canvas. With a living area of 2,255 sqft on a 5,501 sqft lot, it ranks in the top 16-18% for size within its immediate area, offering more room than most comparable homes.
The home’s strength is its balanced positioning. It isn’t just new; it’s newer than 97% of homes in Winnipeg, yet it has already established a clear value history, with the assessed value rising significantly since its last sale. The renovated basement adds immediate functional space without the need for a project. This property would suit a growing family or professional couple seeking a modern, low-maintenance home in a developed community. It’s particularly suited for buyers who value data-driven metrics—seeing that the home ranks better than 70-80% of neighbourhood homes for lot size, living area, and value can provide confidence in its relative standing.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the "ranking" data work?
The percentile rankings (e.g., "Top 16%") show how this property compares to specific groups of homes. For example, ranking in the "Top 16% for living area on its street" means 84% of homes on Windflower Road have less living space. It’s a quick way to gauge relative size, age, and value.
2. What does the sale history indicate?
The home sold for $48,000 in December 2020 and then for $63,500 in January 2023. This shows strong appreciation in a short period, and the current assessed value aligns closely with the most recent sale price, suggesting market stability.
3. Is the neighbourhood established?
Bridgwater Trails is a developing area, but this specific street appears well-settled. The data shows numerous nearby properties and comparisons, indicating a populated street rather than one under initial construction.
4. What might "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify finishes or layout. This would require clarification on whether it includes a legal suite, additional bedrooms, or a recreational space.
5. Why are the compared properties in different neighbourhoods?
The "Similar assessed value" list includes homes across Winnipeg with identical municipal assessments. This is for broad value comparison only and does not imply the neighbourhoods or homes are similar in style or condition. It underscores that assessment value is just one factor among many.
