Property Overview: 778 Minto Street, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home on Minto Street stands out for its generous proportions, both in the house and on the lot. Built in 1947, the 1,768 sqft living area is notably larger than most comparable homes in the immediate area and on the street itself, placing it in the top 3-4% locally. The true standout feature is the 6,400 sqft lot, which ranks in the elite top 1% within the broader Minto area, offering significant outdoor space that is rare for the neighbourhood.
The appeal lies in this combination of above-average interior space and a truly premium-sized lot, providing room for privacy, gardening, or expansion. The assessed value is consistently high relative to its immediate peers, suggesting the property is well-regarded in its local market context. It would suit a buyer looking for a character home with room to grow, who values substantial outdoor space over a brand-new build. It’s particularly suited for those who want the convenience of the Minto area but desire a property footprint that feels more expansive and established than typical offerings.
A less obvious perspective is that while the home is newer than many on its street, it is older than the city-wide average, indicating a potential need for updates but also representing a piece of established community character. The data suggests you are purchasing a property that is a dominant player on its own street and within Minto, even if it blends in more when compared to the entire city.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the sold price history work?
The listed sold price (e.g., CA$400k–450k in 2021) is a range based on available public data. To obtain the exact historical sold price, you can request it via email from the service; they provide this detail manually without using your email for marketing.
2. What do the rankings (like "Top 3%") actually mean?
They show how this property compares to specific groups. For example, "Top 3% for Living Area on Minto Street" means that out of 183 comparable properties on that street, only 5 have a larger living area. It’s a relative measure of how it stacks up against its closest peers.
3. Is the assessed value the same as the market value?
No. The assessed value (listed as $36.70k) is for municipal tax purposes. The market value, indicated by past sold prices, is significantly higher. The key takeaway from the assessed value data is that this home is consistently assessed higher than its immediate neighbours, which can signal a premium attribute.
4. What does the "Elite" or "Above Average" badge indicate?
These badges are tiered summaries of the ranking data. "Elite" typically means the property is in the top ~1-5% of the comparison group for that metric, while "Above Average" usually covers the top 5-30%.
