Property Overview: 817 Goulding Street, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 748 sqft home, built in 1945, sits on a standard 3,357 sqft lot in the Minto neighbourhood. Its core appeal lies in being a modest, established property in a neighbourhood of similar homes, offering a practical entry point into the Winnipeg market. The home is notably smaller than average for the city, which is reflected in its below-average assessed value.
A thoughtful perspective for buyers is its relative newness compared to its immediate neighbours—built nearly a decade later than many homes on its street and in Minto. This could suggest updated construction methods or materials for its era. The property suits first-time buyers, investors looking for a rental property, or downsizers seeking a low-maintenance footprint without a premium lot size. Its value is positional: you’re purchasing a functional home in a long-established community, not square footage or land.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the assessed value the same as the market value?
No. The assessed value (listed as $22,700) is for municipal tax purposes. The market value, or what a buyer would pay, is typically higher. The last recorded sale was between $250,000-$300,000 in 2021, which is a more relevant benchmark.
2. The home seems small. What should I consider?
At 748 sqft, living space is compact. It’s crucial to view the layout in person to see if it meets your needs. For some, this smaller size is a benefit, leading to lower utility costs and less upkeep.
3. How does the lot size compare?
The lot is approximately average for Minto and on Goulding Street. It provides typical outdoor space for the area but is below the much larger average lot size seen city-wide.
4. What does the "rank" or "top X%" information mean?
These stats show how this property compares to others in different zones. For example, its Year Built is in the "top 22%" on its street, meaning it is newer than 78% of its direct neighbours. Conversely, its Living Area is in the "top 71%" city-wide, meaning 94% of city homes are larger.
