38 Agate Bay – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 910 sqft home on a 5,494 sqft lot, built in 1956. Its standout feature is the year built: it's the oldest home on Agate Bay (ranked #1 out of 36, top 3%), which may appeal to buyers looking for original character or a solid older structure in a street where homes are uniformly from the same era. The assessed value sits at $346,000—above the street average of $333,300 but slightly below the neighborhood median—suggesting the property is priced competitively for its immediate block relative to its condition or updates.
The appeal lies in two less obvious angles. First, the land area is slightly below the neighborhood average, but it's still a decent-sized lot for the city (top 44% citywide). That means less yard maintenance without feeling cramped. Second, the living area ranks in the top 47% on the street itself, but falls below average when compared to Windsor Park and Winnipeg as a whole. So this home is small by modern city standards, but typical for its immediate block—great for someone who wants a compact, manageable space without being the smallest house on the street.
This property suits buyers who:
- Value a quieter, older street with consistent character homes
- Want a smaller living footprint but a respectable lot
- Are open to a project or updates (the age suggests original features, but also potential maintenance needs)
- Prioritize a strong relative value within the immediate street rather than neighborhood-wide averages
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home's size compare to others nearby?
On Agate Bay, your living area of 910 sqft is right around the street average of 886 sqft—you're not the smallest. But compared to Windsor Park (average 1,091 sqft) or citywide (1,342 sqft), it's below average. The lot of 5,494 sqft is also near the street average but slightly smaller than the neighborhood norm.
2. Is the assessed value a good deal?
The assessed value of $346,000 is above the street average ($333,300) but below the Windsor Park average ($354,200) and citywide average ($390,100). That puts it in a middle ground: you're paying a bit more than neighbors on this street, but less than the typical home in the broader area. Ranked top 31% on the street suggests it's one of the higher-valued homes here.
3. Why is the year built ranked "Elite" on the street?
The home was built in 1956, and all 36 homes on Agate Bay share that same year. So it's tied for first, meaning the street has a very consistent age. The neighborhood includes newer homes (average 1961), so this property is among the older ones in Windsor Park. This could be a pro if you like mid-century construction quality, or a con if you'd prefer more modern builds.
4. What does "ranked top 89%" in living area mean for the neighborhood?
That means the home is in the bottom 11% of living area for Windsor Park—only about 11% of homes in the neighborhood are smaller. It's a clear signal that this is a compact property for the area. However, the street-level rank (top 47%) shows it's perfectly normal for Agate Bay itself.
5. Should I be concerned about the land area being "Below Average" in Windsor Park?
It depends. The lot is 5,494 sqft, which is below the neighborhood average of 6,030 sqft. But it's still a solid city lot—ranked top 44% citywide. For many buyers, a slightly smaller lot means less mowing and more time for other things. The key question is whether you need the extra space, or if the home's interior size is your primary focus.
