Property Overview: 83 Dacquay Crescent, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This two-storey home in Dakota Crossing is defined by its modern foundation and above-average space. Built in 2017, it is one of the newest homes on its street, offering the appeal of a relatively recent build with likely fewer major maintenance concerns in the near term. With over 2,100 sqft of living space and a nearly 9,000 sqft lot, it provides substantial room both inside and out, ranking well above local and citywide averages for size.

Its primary appeal lies in this combination of a newer home on a larger, private lot—a pairing that can be difficult to find in many suburban areas. The attached garage and full (though unrenovated) basement add practical utility and potential. It would suit buyers looking for a move-in-ready family home with room to grow, who value the quiet of a crescent and the long-term upside of a generous yard. A thoughtful perspective is that while the basement presents a future project, it also allows new owners to customize the space to their needs without paying a premium for a finished product they might otherwise renovate.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the assessed value relate to the expected sale price?
The current assessed value is $590,000. It’s important to note that this is for municipal tax purposes. The sale price will be determined by the current market, but the last known sale was for $480,000 in October 2020.

2. What does the "above average" ranking actually mean for living here?
The rankings show this home is larger and on a bigger lot than most homes in its immediate area, Dakota Crossing, and across Winnipeg. This suggests you’re getting more physical space and privacy relative to many other properties, which is a key value driver.

3. The basement is noted as "not renovated." What should I consider?
This means the lower level is unfinished or in a basic state. While it offers excellent storage and future expansion potential, budgeting for development costs would be necessary to use it as living space. It also allows for customization.

4. The home is newer, but what about the neighborhood's overall age?
The home itself is among the newest on the street. However, data shows the average home in Dakota Crossing is older (from around 1997). This means you benefit from a modern build within an established, mature community with grown-in landscaping and amenities.

5. Are there any obvious red flags from the sales history?
The data shows two previous sales. A significant increase from its 2017 sale price ($42,500) to its 2020 sale ($480,000) is typical for a new build’s first re-sale. The stable period since 2020 suggests normal market ownership without frequent turnover, which is generally a positive sign.
