Key Characteristics, Appeal & Ideal Buyer

This two-storey home in Bridgwater Trails is a modern, low-maintenance property built in 2018. Its primary appeal lies in a strong combination of newer construction and above-average space. With a 1,838 sqft living area and a notably large 7,678 sqft lot, it offers more room than most homes in Winnipeg, ranking in the top 14% citywide for living space and the top 6% on its own street for land area. The home features an attached garage and an unfinished basement, presenting a blank canvas for future customization.

The appeal is data-backed: it consistently ranks in the top tier of its market. It sits in the top 13% of Winnipeg for lot size and the top 5% for the newness of its build. A key, less obvious perspective is its proven value retention; its 2022 sale price of $660k placed it in the top 4% of all Winnipeg sales at that time, suggesting a history of strong market performance relative to its assessed value.

This property would ideally suit young families or professionals seeking a move-in ready home in a modern neighbourhood without sacrificing yard space. It’s also a sensible fit for buyers who appreciate a clear, above-average standing in the market (as evidenced by its rankings) and who see potential in personalizing an unfinished basement to add future value.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the basement developed?
No, the basement is unfinished. This is a key opportunity for a buyer to customize the space to their needs, whether for recreation, storage, or additional bedrooms, without needing to undo previous renovations.

2. How does this home compare to others in Bridgwater Trails?
The data shows it is a strong performer within the neighbourhood. It has a larger-than-average lot (top 14%) and living area (top 41%), and its previous sale price ranked in the top 19%. It is a newer build (2018) compared to many in the area.

3. What is the significance of the provided "rankings"?
The rankings are a percentile comparison. For example, ranking "better than 94% in same street" for land area means only 6% of homes on Bridge Lake Drive have a larger lot. They offer a quick, objective snapshot of how this property measures up in key metrics.

4. The assessed value seems low compared to the 2022 sale price. Why?
Municipal assessed values for tax purposes often lag behind market sale prices and are calculated using a specific methodology. The 2022 sale price is a clearer indicator of its recent market value, and its high percentile rank (top 4% in Winnipeg) suggests it commanded a premium price.

5. What are the immediate next-door properties like?
The listing shows five nearby addresses on the same street and lane, all within 45 meters. This indicates a closely built, typical suburban streetscape, which is common in newer communities like Bridgwater Trails.
