15 Foxberry Bay – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 1,012 sqft single-family home sits on a 3,497 sqft lot in Westdale, Winnipeg, built in 1972. Its assessed value is $251,000.
The property’s main appeal is its living space. At street level, it ranks in the top 19% for living area on Foxberry Bay, offering more square footage than most neighbouring homes. However, that advantage fades as you zoom out: it sits around average within Westdale and falls below the citywide median. The lot size follows a similar pattern—decent for the street, but smaller than typical Winnipeg properties.
Where this home stands out most clearly is price. Its assessed value is notably lower than street, neighbourhood, and city averages. For a buyer focused on the Westdale area, that gap between living space and cost could represent a practical entry point.
The year built (1972) is consistent with the neighbourhood's character, falling in line with nearby homes. Nothing remarkable, nothing unusual.
This property would suit: Buyers who want a bit more interior space than what’s typical on this street, without paying a premium for a large lot or a newer build. It may appeal to someone who values square footage over land area, or who sees the lower assessed value as a potential starting point for negotiation or gradual improvement. It’s less suited for buyers needing a big yard or a move-in-ready modern home.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the property’s assessed value compare to others nearby?
It’s below average at every level—street ($266.8k avg), neighbourhood ($307.4k), and city ($390.1k). That puts it in the bottom 13–17% depending on the area.
2. Is the living area considered large for a home in Westdale?
It’s about average for the neighbourhood (1,029 sqft avg). The home is slightly above that, but not by much. The real advantage is on Foxberry Bay itself, where it’s one of the larger homes.
3. How old is the property, and is that typical for the area?
Built in 1972. That’s right in line with the street and neighbourhood averages (1971–1972), and slightly newer than the citywide median of 1966.
4. Why is the lot size listed as “below average” citywide?
At 3,497 sqft, it’s significantly smaller than Winnipeg’s average of 6,570 sqft for comparable homes. On Foxberry Bay, it’s closer to average, but still below the street’s 4,103 sqft average.
5. What does the ranking data actually tell me?
The rankings compare this home to similar properties at three levels: street, neighbourhood, and city. Higher percentages mean it outperforms more homes. For example, a top 19% street ranking for living area means it’s larger than 81% of homes on the same street. The same logic applies to value, lot size, and year built—though for those, “better” depends on your priorities (e.g., smaller value may be good for buyers, not sellers).
