Property Overview: 146 Easy Street, Normand Park, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home presents a compelling value proposition rooted in its space and city-wide positioning. Built in 1988, it is a well-established property in the Normand Park neighbourhood. Its key appeal lies in its generous 2,045 sqft of living area, which is notably larger than most homes on its street and ranks within the top 10% of all Winnipeg homes for size. This makes it an excellent choice for buyers seeking ample interior space without a premium price tag.
The assessed value of $498k tells an interesting story: while it is below the average for the Normand Park area, it sits above the Winnipeg city-wide average. This suggests you are acquiring above-average square footage at a value-oriented entry point for this specific, presumably more affluent, neighbourhood. The lot size of 5,492 sqft is manageable and typical for the city.
This property would suit practical buyers who prioritize interior space over a premium lot location or a newer build. It’s ideal for a growing family needing room or value-conscious purchasers looking to get more house for their budget by buying a slightly older home in a established area. A thoughtful perspective is that this home offers a "space arbitrage" opportunity—trading the modernity of newer area homes for significantly more square footage at a similar or lower price point.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is the assessed value below the neighbourhood average?
The home’s assessed value is below the Normand Park average likely due to its older age (1988 vs. an area average around 2000) and potentially more standard finishes or features compared to newer builds in the area. Its value is strong compared to the city overall, highlighting the relative premium of the neighbourhood.
2. How does the living area compare to nearby homes?
With 2,045 sqft, this home offers substantially more living space than the average home on Easy Street (~1,813 sqft) and is very competitive with the area average. It provides significantly more space than the typical Winnipeg home.
3. What is the property’s sale history?
Records indicate a previous sale between September 2017, with a sold price in the range of CA$400,000–$450,000. For fully verified and exact historical sale figures, you can request a manual lookup via email on the site.
4. What does the "rank" and "top X%" data mean?
These metrics compare this specific property against groups of "comparable homes" on three levels: its immediate street, the broader Normand Park area, and city-wide Winnipeg. For example, ranking in the "Top 25%" for living area on its street means it is larger than 75% of comparable homes on Easy Street.
5. Is the lot size a constraint?
At 5,492 sqft, the lot is slightly smaller than the area average but is very close to the city-wide average. It is a standard urban lot, sufficient for a backyard and landscaping, but may not cater to those seeking extensive outdoor space for large gardens or expansions.
