32 Hajes Place – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 1,854 sqft home in Whyte Ridge was built in 1989 on a 6,410 sqft lot. Its assessed value is $500k.
The property’s main strength is its size. Living area ranks in the top 20% on the street and top 15% citywide, meaning it offers noticeably more interior space than most comparable homes in Winnipeg. The lot, while smaller than others on Hajes Place itself, is actually above average for both the neighbourhood and the city.
The assessed value tells a more complex story. At $500k, it sits below the street average ($517.7k) and neighbourhood average ($529.6k), yet ranks in the top 20% citywide. This suggests the home offers good value relative to the broader market, but sits in a pocket of the neighbourhood where prices are higher. The 1989 build is older than most homes on the street and in the area, but newer than the citywide median—so it avoids the maintenance concerns of a 1960s home without commanding the premium of a recently built one.
Who it suits: Buyers who prioritize interior square footage over lot size, and who are comfortable with a home that’s not the newest on the block but is well-established. It’s a practical fit for someone who wants above-average living space in a stable neighbourhood without paying top-of-market prices. It may appeal less to buyers who value a large private yard or a freshly built home.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
On Hajes Place, this home’s assessed value is below the street average by about $17,700. In the broader Whyte Ridge neighbourhood, it’s roughly $29,600 below the average for comparable properties. Citywide, however, it ranks in the top 20%, meaning the home is valued well above typical Winnipeg homes.
2. Is the lot size small for the area?
It depends on what you compare it to. On Hajes Place, the average lot is 8,784 sqft, so this lot is noticeably smaller—about 27% less. But within Whyte Ridge, lots average 6,175 sqft, so this one is slightly above the neighbourhood norm. Citywide, it’s also above average, ranking in the top 23%.
3. Why is the year built listed as “below average” on the street if the home is only one year older than the average?
The street average year built is 1990, so this home (1989) is just one year older. “Below average” here means it’s older than the median, not that it’s in poor condition. The ranking is relative—out of 10 homes on the street, it’s the 8th oldest, which still puts it in the top 80% citywide for newer construction compared to Winnipeg’s median of 1966.
4. Does the home offer good value for its size?
Potentially. The living area is in the top 15% citywide, but the assessed value is only in the top 20%. That gap suggests you’re getting above-average space without paying an above-average premium relative to other large homes in the city. However, the street-level and neighbourhood comparisons show it’s priced below local averages, which may reflect the older build year or the smaller lot.
5. How are the rankings calculated?
Each metric (living area, assessed value, year built, land area) is ranked against comparable homes within the same scope. “Comparable homes” are properties with similar characteristics in that area. The fill length on the bars represents the share of peers the home outperforms, and the colour tier (red, blue, amber, gray) indicates how it stacks up. “Avg” is a rough median benchmark for that group. Rank by living area and land area favours larger sizes; rank by year favours newer; rank by assessed value favours higher numbers.
