Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the 2019 sale price relate to the current assessed value?
The home sold for an estimated $400k-$450k in 2019. The current assessed value is $57.20k. It’s important to understand that in Manitoba, property assessments are not market valuations; they are used for calculating municipal taxes. The market value is typically significantly higher than the assessed value.
2. The home is newer than most in the city, but noted as "below average" for its street. Is that a concern?
This simply means that on Courageous Cove itself, most homes were built slightly more recently (around 2010 on average). With a 2009 build, the home is still modern, well within the neighbourhood’s overall age range, and significantly newer than the Winnipeg city average.
3. What does the "Elite" ranking for Land Area actually mean?
The "Elite" ranking (Top 1%) for lot size in Mission Gardens indicates this is one of the largest residential lots in the entire neighbourhood. Compared to the area average of about 5,370 sqft, this property’s lot is more than twice as large, offering a rare level of privacy and space.
