7 Blackberry Bay – Property Summary
Key Characteristics and Buyer Profile
This 1,040 sqft home sits on a 5,997 sqft lot in Windsor Park, built in 1958. The assessed value is $391,000.
The property’s standout feature is value relative to its street and neighbourhood. It ranks third out of 52 homes on Blackberry Bay for assessed value (top 6%), well above the street average of $357,000. Within Windsor Park, it sits in the top 13% for value. This suggests the home has either been updated more recently than neighbours or sits on a more desirable section of the street—something worth verifying in person.
The living area is below average for the street (40th out of 52) and around average for the neighbourhood and city. Similarly, the land area is on the smaller side for Blackberry Bay but average for Windsor Park and slightly above average citywide. The year built (1958) is effectively the same as most homes on the street, though newer than the citywide average for comparable homes.
This property would suit a buyer looking for strong relative value in a stable, established neighbourhood. It may appeal to someone who prioritizes location and condition over raw square footage, or who sees potential to add value through thoughtful updates. The below-average living area on the street means it could be a good fit for downsizers, first-time buyers, or anyone comfortable with a modest footprint who wants to avoid paying a premium for extra space they don’t need.
Five Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare to others on Blackberry Bay?
It ranks near the top for assessed value (3rd out of 52) but below average for both living area (40th) and land area (43rd). So you’re getting a home that’s valued higher than most on the street, despite having less space—likely due to finishes, updates, or location nuances.
2. Is the lot considered small?
On the street itself, yes—it’s below average. But within Windsor Park and citywide, it’s around average. The lot is 5,997 sqft, which is typical for older Winnipeg neighbourhoods.
3. Is the home outdated?
The year built is 1958, which is typical for the street (all homes are from the late 1950s). The assessed value suggests it may be in better condition than neighbours, but you’ll want to check the age of the roof, furnace, windows, and major systems yourself.
4. What does “assessed value” mean in practical terms?
It’s the city’s estimate of market value for property tax purposes. A $391,000 assessment doesn’t guarantee a sale price, but it gives a solid baseline. Being in the top 6% on the street suggests strong demand or above-average condition.
5. How does this home compare to others in Windsor Park?
It ranks in the top 13% for assessed value, around average for living area and land area, and around average for year built. In short, it’s a well-valued home in a middle-of-the-pack location within the neighbourhood.
