Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "Top X%" ranking mean for each metric?
These rankings compare this specific property against similar homes in three areas: its immediate street, the broader Inkster Gardens neighborhood, and all of Winnipeg. For example, being in the "Top 15%" for living area city-wide means 85% of comparable Winnipeg homes are smaller.
2. The home sold in 2019 for roughly $35.5k - $38.5k, but the assessed value is now $56.10k. Why the difference?
The 2019 sale was likely the original purchase from the builder. The current assessed value reflects the municipal assessment for taxation purposes, which considers market trends and is typically lower than a potential resale price. The increase indicates the property has accrued value since its construction.
3. What are the implications of the basement being "not renovated"?
The basement is finished as part of the home's total living area but remains in its original builder-grade condition. This is a neutral point: it provides immediate functional space without the premium cost of a custom renovation, but also presents a future opportunity for the owner to upgrade and add value.
