358 Pritchard Avenue – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This 1,806 sqft home on Pritchard Avenue in Winnipeg’s William Whyte neighbourhood stands out most for its interior space. It ranks in the top 4% for living area on its street and top 7% within the neighbourhood, offering significantly more room than nearby homes. The assessed value of $190,000 sits just above the street average and well above the neighbourhood average of $149,100—meaning the property holds relatively strong value locally, even though it’s below the citywide median.
The trade-off comes with the land and age. The lot is 2,686 sqft, which is smaller than most homes on the street and in the area (bottom 7% locally). Built in 1908, it’s older than 96% of homes citywide. So the property offers generous indoor square footage on a compact lot, with a vintage build.
Appeal: This home suits a buyer who prioritizes interior living space over yard size or land area. It’s not for someone looking for a large lot or a newer build. The strong local assessed value relative to the neighbourhood suggests the size and condition hold up well against nearby properties. It could work for a homeowner who wants a spacious interior in an established, older neighbourhood—or for an investor looking at rental potential given the above-average square footage and relatively accessible price point compared to citywide averages.
Likely buyer: Someone comfortable with an older home (1908), who doesn’t need a big yard, and values having more room inside than typical for the area. First-time buyers or those looking to enter the Winnipeg market with a property that has good bones and a reasonable assessed value might find this a practical fit.
Five Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living area compare to other homes nearby?
It’s significantly larger than average. The home is 1,806 sqft, while the typical living area on Pritchard Avenue is around 1,048 sqft, and in the William Whyte neighbourhood it’s roughly 1,158 sqft. This places it in the top 4% on its street and top 7% in the area.
2. What about the assessed value—is it priced fairly?
The assessed value is $190,000, which is slightly above the street average ($182,200) and well above the neighbourhood average ($149,100). So locally, the value is above typical. But citywide, it’s well below the $390,100 average, which reflects the older character of the area and the smaller lot size. It’s a strong value for the neighbourhood.
3. The home was built in 1908. Is that a concern?
It’s an older home—older than most on the street (top 78%) and citywide (top 96%). That said, an older build can mean solid construction and character details, but it may also come with maintenance considerations like older wiring, plumbing, or insulation. A thorough inspection is recommended.
4. Why is the land area smaller than average?
The lot is 2,686 sqft, which is below the street average of 3,730 sqft and the neighbourhood average of 3,277 sqft. This is typical for older urban infill lots where homes were built close together. If you want a large backyard or room for expansion, this property may not be ideal.
5. How does this home rank overall in Winnipeg?
In terms of living area, it’s in the top 17% citywide—quite spacious relative to comparable homes across Winnipeg. For assessed value, it’s in the bottom 7% citywide (top 93%), reflecting its price point. The land area and year built also place it in the lower tiers citywide. It’s a home that offers good interior space at a relatively low citywide value, which is the main draw.
