Highlights & common questions: 627 Kent Road, Winnipeg

Property Overview

This two-storey home on Kent Road in East Elmwood is a standout property defined by its generous size and strong value metrics within its immediate neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in offering significantly more living space than most comparable homes in the area, paired with a recently renovated basement. The detached garage and a well-sized lot add to its practical family-home credentials. It would best suit buyers looking for a spacious, move-in-ready home in a established neighborhood, who prioritize interior square footage and modernized living areas over a brand-new build. A thoughtful perspective is that while the home is newer than many on its street, its 1960 construction means due diligence on major systems is wise; however, its "Elite" rankings for size and value in East Elmwood suggest it has been a well-maintained and competitive property in its market.

2. What does the "Elite" ranking for Assessed Value mean?
It means the home's official assessed value ($479,000) is among the top 1% in East Elmwood. This typically indicates a property that is valued significantly higher than most in its immediate area, often due to size, condition, or improvements.

3. The home sold in 2021 for $550,000. Is that relevant today?
It provides a recent market benchmark, showing what a buyer was willing to pay three years ago. Current market conditions, interest rates, and any further updates to the home will influence its present value.

It's balanced. The lot is above average for East Elmwood (top 18%) but around the average for Kent Road itself. It provides ample backyard space without being overly large for maintenance, fitting the neighborhood character.

5. Given its age, what should I consider?
