Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to recent sales on the street?
No direct sales history is shown for this listing. For fully verified sales figures and a complete transaction history, you can request a manual lookup via email from the listing source.
2. What does the "Elite" ranking for lot size actually mean?
It means this property’s land area is larger than 98% of comparable homes in both Winnipeg and the Parc La Salle neighborhood. The lot is over four times the neighborhood average, which is a significant and rare advantage.
3. Is the 1979 build date a concern?
The year built is above average for its immediate street. While not a new build, it indicates a home likely with modern foundations and possibly updated systems compared to much of the surrounding housing stock from the early 1970s.
4. The living area is large, but how does it compare to the neighbors?
The provided comparisons show a nearby home at 1074 Des Trappistes Street is larger (2,599 sqft), but several other close references are significantly smaller (around 944-1,484 sqft). This confirms 1120 Des Trappistes occupies a comfortable, above-median size position on its own block.
5. Why is the assessed value so much higher than the neighborhood average?
The neighborhood average assessed value is skewed lower by many smaller homes on standard lots. This home’s value is driven by its combination of a top-tier lot size and above-average living area, placing it among the most substantial properties in the area.
