Highlights & common questions: 870 College Avenue, Winnipeg

Property Overview

This one-and-a-half storey home on College Avenue in Burrows Central presents a straightforward, value-oriented opportunity. Built in 1913, its key characteristic is its modest scale, with 860 sqft of living space on a 2,277 sqft lot. The home features a detached garage and a basement that is present but not renovated. Its assessed value is notably below the Winnipeg city-wide average, positioning it as an affordable entry point.

The appeal lies in its practicality and potential. For its street and neighbourhood, the home's metrics—like year built and assessed value—are generally around average, suggesting it fits comfortably within the context of this established area. It suits first-time buyers, investors, or downsizers seeking a lower-cost footprint with the foundational elements in place. A thoughtful perspective is that its smaller lot size, while below area averages, translates to less exterior maintenance. The unrenovated basement represents a clear, defined project for adding future value, rather than inheriting someone else's potentially costly finishes.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the property fairly priced compared to the area?
Based on the data, its last sale price and assessed value are consistently around or below the average for both College Avenue and the broader Burrows Central neighbourhood, suggesting its pricing is competitive within its immediate context.

2. What should I know about the home’s size and lot?
The living space is compact at 860 sqft. The lot is also below the average size for the street and area, which is a practical consideration for outdoor space but can mean lower maintenance.

3. How does its age (1913) affect the property?
At 113 years old, it is around the average age for homes on this street. Buyers should budget for the maintenance and systems updates typical of a century-old home, though its established character is a hallmark of the neighbourhood.

4. What does the "below average city-wide" ranking mean?
For metrics like lot size and assessed value, this primarily indicates the property is in a more affordable market segment compared to the entire city of Winnipeg. It reflects value, not necessarily condition, and is typical for its neighbourhood.

5. Is there potential to increase the home’s value?
The unrenovated basement presents the most direct opportunity for adding liveable space and value. The home's below-average assessment for the city also suggests room for equity growth through updates, especially if the neighbourhood sees appreciation.
