31 Amethyst Place – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This home at 31 Amethyst Place offers 1,759 square feet of living space on a 7,671-square-foot lot, built in 1987. Its assessed value is $528,000.
The property performs better at the city and neighbourhood level than on its own street. Citywide, it ranks in the top 19% for living area and top 16% for assessed value. In the Whyte Ridge neighbourhood, it sits around the average for size and value, but its lot stands out—ranking in the top 15% locally and top 13% citywide. The year built is older than the neighbourhood average (1987 vs. 1994), meaning many nearby homes are newer.
The appeal here is subtle. It’s not the biggest or newest house on the block, but it offers a strong lot relative to both the street and the wider market. That combination may matter more to buyers who value outdoor space or future expansion potential than to those seeking a turn-key, move-in-ready property that outshines its immediate neighbours. The assessed value is below the street average but above the city average, suggesting a fairly priced entry point into a desirable area.
This home would suit buyers who:
- Want a solid, established home in Whyte Ridge without paying a premium for the largest or newest house on the street.
- Prioritize lot size and yard space over having the highest square footage or most recent renovation.
- Are comfortable with a 1980s-built home and may plan to update over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this property compare to others on Amethyst Place?
On this street, the home is below average in living area (1,759 vs. 1,845 sqft) and land area (7,671 vs. 8,918 sqft). Its assessed value is slightly below the street average of $553,900. It ranks 5th out of 8 homes for both value and year built, and 6th for size.
2. Is the neighbourhood generally older or newer?
The neighbourhood average year built is 1994, so this home is about seven years older than typical homes in Whyte Ridge. Citywide, however, it’s newer than average (the city median is 1966). You’ll find a mix of 1980s and 1990s homes in the area.
3. What does the assessed value tell me about market price?
Assessed value is a baseline, not a market price. At $528,000, it’s near the Whyte Ridge average but well above the city average of $390,100. This suggests the neighbourhood carries a premium, and the home is priced in line with local comparables.
4. How usable is the lot compared to others nearby?
The lot is above average for Whyte Ridge and for Winnipeg overall. At 7,671 sqft, it’s larger than roughly 85% of neighbourhood properties and 87% citywide. It’s smaller than other homes on Amethyst Place, but those are on larger-than-average lots even by local standards.
5. What are the main trade-offs with this property?
The biggest trade-off is size and age versus lot value. You get less living space and an older home than some neighbours, but you also get a larger-than-average lot in a well-ranked neighbourhood. Buyers who want a newer or bigger house may need to look elsewhere or budget for renovations.
