Frequently Asked Questions
How does the lot size compare to a typical new build?
The lot of 11,212 sqft is significantly larger than those found in most modern suburban developments, where lots are often under 6,000 sqft. This offers a level of privacy and outdoor utility that is increasingly rare.
What does the "Elite" ranking for land area mean?
It means this property's lot size is in the top 4% of all residential properties in Winnipeg. In practical terms, you are getting more land than 96 out of 100 properties in the city.
The home was last sold between 2017-2025. Why is the exact price not listed?
Exact sale prices in Manitoba are not publicly available records. The range provided is based on publicly accessible market data. The listing service offers to provide the verified exact sold price manually via email upon request.
Is a 1975-built home a concern?
The year built is around the neighbourhood and city average. The key consideration is the condition of major aging components like the roof, windows, and mechanical systems, which would be standard for any home inspection of this vintage. Its "above average" ranking on its own street suggests it is among the newer homes there.
The assessed value seems low compared to the city-wide average shown. Why?
The city-wide average assessed value of $390k includes all property types and values across Winnipeg. This home's assessment of $44.70k reflects a specific municipal valuation for tax purposes, not market value. Its ranking shows it is assessed higher than most similar properties in its immediate area.
