Property Overview & Key Characteristics

This 2010-built home in Amber Trails offers a balanced, move-in-ready package. Its key appeal lies in its strong relative position within a mature, established pocket of the neighbourhood. With a recently renovated basement and an attached garage, the home provides modern, functional living space. The lot size is generous compared to many in Winnipeg, ranking in the top half of its own street.

The data reveals a thoughtful perspective: this isn't the newest home on the block, but it is one of the oldest on Darbrett Bay, suggesting a well-settled street with mature landscaping. Despite its 2010 build date, it ranks exceptionally high for "newness" on its specific street (top 2%), indicating it helped define the area. Its assessed value ranks highly locally (top 23% in Amber Trails), yet it sold for significantly less in late 2020, which may present a compelling value story if comparable sales have risen.

This home would suit practical buyers looking for a turnkey property in a desirable suburban neighbourhood without paying a premium for the absolute newest construction. It’s ideal for those who value space, a finished basement, and a settled community feel over a brand-new build.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home compare to others in Amber Trails?
It holds a strong middle-ground position. It's larger than many homes in Winnipeg overall (top 13% by living area) and sits on a larger-than-average lot. Its assessed value is in the top quarter of the neighbourhood, suggesting it is viewed as a solid, above-average property in the area.

2. The home was built in 2010. Is that a concern?
Not inherently. While not a new build, its systems and structure are modern. Its age is actually an advantage on its street, where it is one of the original homes. This often means mature trees and established gardens, and any early developmental issues with the property or street would have been resolved years ago.

3. What does the sold price from 2020 indicate?
The home sold for $468,000 in October 2020. The current assessed value is $590,000. This gap reflects the significant market-wide appreciation since that time and does not indicate a problem; it simply provides a historical benchmark. It underscores the importance of evaluating current market conditions and recent comparable sales.

4. Is the basement renovation reflected in the assessment?
The assessment considers the home's overall condition and finished living space. A well-executed, permitted renovation that adds livable square footage would positively influence the assessed value, which ranks highly for the area.

5. Who are the typical neighbours?
The nearby reference properties are largely from the same neighbourhood and built between 2007 and 2017, indicating a community of families and professionals who moved in during the area's key development phases. The proximity to several similar-value homes in other neighbourhoods also suggests a demographic of established homeowners.
