Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the "ranking" data actually mean?
The rankings show how this property compares to others in its immediate street, wider neighbourhood, and all of Winnipeg. For example, ranking in the "top 1%" for living area in Winnipeg means it is larger than 99% of other homes on the market, highlighting its standout size.

2. Is a 1987-built home a concern?
While not new, the home is from a period known for solid construction and established neighbourhoods. Its age suggests mature landscaping and settled infrastructure. A thorough inspection is always recommended to understand the condition of major systems like roof, windows, and HVAC, which may be due for updates.

3. The lot is large, but how private is it?
At nearly 10,000 sqft, the lot is significantly larger than average. This typically allows for greater distance from neighbours, potential for garden spaces, patios, or play areas. Checking the street view (by dragging the map icon) will give you the best sense of its current layout and privacy.

4. Who might this property not suit?
It may not be the best fit for those seeking a modern, open-concept layout or a low-maintenance property, as homes of this era often have more defined room divisions and the large lot requires upkeep. It's also likely above the entry-level price point for first-time buyers.

5. Why is the assessed value important here?
The municipal assessment of $724,000 provides an independent benchmark of the property's taxable value. Its ranking in the top 3-5% locally confirms it is considered a high-value home for the area, which can be a useful reference point during the purchase process, though market price is determined by buyer demand.
