Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size compare to typical newer homes?
The lot of over 12,000 sq ft is a significant feature, ranking better than 97% of Winnipeg properties. It is substantially larger than many contemporary builds, offering superior outdoor space and privacy.
2. The assessed value seems low compared to past sale prices. Why is that?
Municipal assessed value for taxation purposes often lags behind current market value, especially in a rising market. The assessed value here reflects a historical valuation, while the 2021 sale price of $1.2M is a clearer indicator of its market worth.
3. What does the ranking data actually tell me?
The percentile rankings (e.g., "Top 3% in Winnipeg") objectively show how this property compares to others on specific metrics. They highlight this home's greatest strengths: its lot size, living area, and assessed value are all in the elite tier city-wide.
4. Is the renovated basement a legal suite?
The listing states the basement is "renovated" but does not specify it as a legal secondary suite. Buyers should verify the permits and compliance of the renovations with the city and their intended use.
5. The home is newer (2018), but how does its build year rank in the immediate area?
While newer than 95% of homes across Winnipeg, in the specific Bridgwater Trails neighbourhood—a modern development—its 2018 build year is more middle-of-the-pack, ranking better than only 47% of nearby homes. This indicates it's in a community of similarly aged properties.
