884 Scurfield Boulevard – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 2001-built home in Whyte Ridge, Winnipeg, with 1,822 sqft of living space on a 7,700 sqft lot. Its assessed value is $517,000.
Where its appeal lies: The property stands out most for its land. At 7,700 sqft, it ranks in the top 6% on its street and top 12% city-wide—significantly larger than the averages on its street (5,755 sqft) and in its neighbourhood (6,175 sqft). The house itself is also newer than most nearby homes: built in 2001, placing it in the top 17% on the street and top 14% in Whyte Ridge, where the average year built is 1994–1996. Living space is slightly above the city average (1,342 sqft) but roughly in line with its immediate street and neighbourhood, so the size feels generous city-wide but not oversized for the area. The assessed value sits near the local average but above the citywide norm ($390,100), reflecting the property’s larger lot and newer construction relative to the broader market.
What type of buyer it suits: This home would work well for someone who prioritizes outdoor space—a large yard, room for gardens, kids or pets to run, or future additions like a shop or deck. It also suits buyers who want a newer home without paying a premium for brand-new construction, and who prefer a settled, established neighbourhood over a developing one. Because the living area is moderate for a house of this lot size, it may also appeal to someone who wants room to expand or renovate without being boxed in by a tight property line.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this property compare to others in Whyte Ridge?
It’s above average in both lot size and age—ranking in the top 15% for land and top 14% for newer build year—but right around the median for assessed value. That means you get a larger, newer property without paying a premium above the neighbourhood norm.
2. Is the living area unusually large?
Not for the street or neighbourhood—it’s about average there. But city-wide, it ranks in the top 16%, so it’s larger than most homes in Winnipeg. The lot size is the standout feature, not the square footage of the house.
3. Why is the assessed value near average despite the large lot?
Assessed value reflects a mix of factors, not just land size. While the lot is big, the home itself is mid-range in living area and age compared to the newest or largest homes locally. The value also considers condition, finishes, and market trends in Whyte Ridge, which has a fairly consistent price band.
4. What does “ranked #11 out of 197 on the street” mean for lot size?
It means only about 10 other homes on Scurfield Boulevard have a larger lot. Your lot is roughly 2,000 sqft bigger than the average on the street—so it’s a standout, not just a marginal difference.
5. Should I expect competition from renovators or builders?
Possibly. A lot of this size on a standard street in an established neighbourhood is relatively rare. Buyers looking to add square footage or build a secondary suite may find it attractive, especially since the house itself is only 23 years old and structurally sound. That said, it’s not a tear-down—it’s a move-in ready home with expansion potential.
