66 Home Street – Summary
Overview & Best Fit
This is a 1912 home in Wolseley with 1,744 square feet of living space on a 3,313-square-foot lot, currently assessed at $619,000. The property stands out most for its high assessed value relative to its size and age. On its own street, it ranks in the top 1% for value—second out of 477 homes—while the street average sits at roughly $242,700. The lot is also notably large for the block, coming in the top 8%. The house itself is slightly larger than the city average and above average for the street, but the neighborhood average for living area is actually higher (1,622 sqft), meaning it’s not unusually spacious for Wolseley overall.
The appeal here lies in the combination of a premium lot and a high-value assessment in a walkable, established neighbourhood. This isn't a house that competes on square footage alone. Instead, it seems to derive its value from location, land, and likely quality or condition not captured in the raw data. It would suit buyers who prioritize a strong asset in a desirable central area over maximum interior space. Given the age of the home (1912) and the land-to-building ratio, it could also appeal to someone interested in a renovation or expansion project, though the assessment suggests it may already be well maintained or updated.
Best suited for: Buyers looking for a higher-end property in Wolseley, those who value lot size and location over pure living area, and anyone comfortable with the character and upkeep of a pre-war home.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home's size compare to others nearby?
The living area is above average for the street (top 22%) and citywide (top 19%), but around average for the Wolseley neighbourhood itself. Several homes in the area are larger, so it's not among the biggest in the immediate vicinity.
2. Why is the assessed value so much higher than the street average?
The street average includes many smaller or less updated homes. This property ranks in the top 1% on Home Street, suggesting it stands out for condition, finishes, lot premium, or other value drivers not shown in basic metrics. The gap is unusually wide.
3. Is the lot small compared to typical Winnipeg properties?
Yes. At 3,313 square feet, the lot is below the citywide average of 6,570 square feet. However, it's larger than most lots on Home Street, where the average is 2,787 square feet. In Wolseley, it's considered around average.
4. What does the "year built" ranking tell me?
The house was built in 1912, which is typical for the street and neighbourhood. Citywide, it's older than most—roughly 92% of Winnipeg homes are newer. This is common for Wolseley, so expect the maintenance needs of a century home.
5. How do the colour tiers and rankings work in the data?
The bars and colours compare this property to others in three scopes: street, neighbourhood, and city. Each scope uses a median benchmark for that group. The fill length shows what share of comparable homes you outperform (larger = better), and the colour tier (red, blue, amber, gray) groups performance levels. For assessed value and living area, higher/larger is better. For year built, newer is better. For land area, larger is better.
