Frequently Asked Questions
How does this home's size compare to others nearby?
At 1,056 sqft, the living area is slightly below the average for Scarfe Street itself but is generally around the average for the wider Mandalay West neighbourhood and the city. It's a comfortably sized home for the area, not the largest or the smallest.
Is the assessed value high or low for Winnipeg?
The assessed value of $38,800 is around average for both the street and the Mandalay West area. City-wide, it falls into a lower average bracket, which may reflect the home's more modest size and the specific neighbourhood valuation rather than the city's higher-priced districts.
What does the 1985 build year mean for a buyer?
Built in 1985, this is one of the newest homes on Scarfe Street. This can be an advantage, potentially meaning fewer immediate major system replacements (like roofing or windows) compared to much older Winnipeg homes, while still being part of a well-established neighbourhood.
How can I find out the exact past sale price?
The public data shows a sold price range (e.g., CA$250k–300k in 2016). The exact sale price is available by request via email from the listing service, which they provide manually without using your email for marketing.
