Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,020-square-foot home on a 5,649-square-foot lot, built in 1956, located at 93 De Bourmont Bay in the Windsor Park area. Its assessed value sits at $365,000. The property is solidly middle-of-the-pack in most metrics. Its living space is slightly below the citywide average but close to the neighbourhood average, while the lot size, though smaller than the community and city averages, ranks higher locally (top third on the street). The home itself is older than most in the surrounding area and city, yet it is among the newer homes on its own street.
The appeal here is subtle. You get a modestly sized lot that still offers more outdoor space than many newer infill properties, without the yard maintenance burden of a much larger property. The living area is functional and unpretentious—neither cramped nor sprawling. The home won't impress with grand proportions, but it could feel manageable and practical for someone who wants indoor and outdoor space that matches their actual needs, not a status marker. The assessed value suggests it is priced in line with what the neighbourhood delivers, with no obvious stretch.
This property would suit a buyer who prioritises a stable, established street in an older neighbourhood like Windsor Park. Someone who values a home that is ready to move into but open to gradual updates over time, rather than a turnkey renovation or a blank slate. It might appeal to first-time buyers seeking an entry point into a mature area, downsizers who want a single-storey-style footprint (if applicable, though not specified) on a reasonable lot, or anyone who prefers a home that doesn't try to be more than it is—solid, unflashy, and historically average in the best sense.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the ranking system actually mean? How should I interpret the percentile bands?
The rankings compare this property against similar single-family homes on the same street, in the Windsor Park neighbourhood, and across Winnipeg. For each metric—living area, lot size, build year, assessed value—the property's position is shown as a percentile. For example, ranking in the top 20% on its street for build year means it was built earlier than 80% of nearby homes. The progress bar visually shows where it lands relative to the average; the coloured gradient (red to blue) simply marks the range, not quality. It's worth looking at all three comparison levels: a home might seem average citywide but actually outperform locally, or vice versa.
2. The lot size is listed as 5,649 sqft. Is that considered small for Windsor Park?
It sits roughly in the middle for the street but falls below the neighbourhood average of about 6,030 sqft. That said, rankings show it's still in the top third on its street—so while not generous by older neighbourhood standards, it's not the smallest lot around. For practical purposes, this is a manageable yard for someone who wants garden space, a small play area, or room for a shed without committing to the upkeep of a larger property.
3. This home was built in 1956. Should I be concerned about its age or condition?
No specific details about the home's condition are provided in this data, so age alone isn't a red flag or a selling point. It's older than the neighbourhood average (built 1961) and the city average (1966), but newer than much of its own street. What matters more is how well it's been maintained and whether major systems (roof, furnace, electrical, plumbing) have been updated. An older home in a mature neighbourhood often comes with solid construction but may need upgrades. Always get an inspection.
4. How does the assessed value of $365,000 compare to recent sale prices in the area?
Assessed value is a tax valuation, not a market appraisal. It gives a baseline but can lag behind current market conditions. In Windsor Park, home values vary depending on condition, updates, and location within the neighbourhood. You'd need to look at recent sold data for similar properties on or near De Bourmont Bay to see whether this home is priced above or below its assessed value. The data suggests it's close to the street and neighbourhood average—neither a bargain nor an overreach in tax terms.
5. What does "接近平均" (close to average) mean in practice for daily life?
It means the home doesn't stand out dramatically in any single category, which can actually be an advantage. You get a lot that's typical for the street, a living area that's in line with neighbours, and a tax valuation that reflects the local norm. You're unlikely to be the largest or smallest home on the block, which often means fewer surprises when it comes to resale or neighbourhood dynamics. For daily living, this kind of middle-ground profile tends to translate into a stable, predictable experience—no awkward mismatches between your home and your neighbours.
