Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home compare in size to others nearby?
At 968 sqft, the living area is slightly above the average for Herbert Avenue and typical for East Elmwood, but below the Winnipeg city-wide average. It offers a comfortable footprint for the neighbourhood.

2. The lot seems smaller than average. Is that a concern?
The 3,015 sqft lot is average for Herbert Avenue but smaller than most in East Elmwood and Winnipeg. This can be a positive for buyers seeking lower yard maintenance while still having private outdoor space.

3. What does the assessed value tell us about the property?
With an assessed value ranking above average for the street, it indicates that the home’s condition, improvements (like the renovated basement), or features are likely viewed more favorably than many direct neighbours, which is a positive signal of its upkeep.

4. The home was last sold in 2019. What should I consider?
The 2019 sale price of $210k provides a recent market benchmark. Investigating what updates the current owners have made since then will be important to understand its current value.

5. How does the 1963 build year affect the home?
Built in 1963, this home is newer than most on its block and in East Elmwood. This often means more modern construction materials, electrical systems, and layout efficiencies compared to pre-war homes, potentially reducing immediate renovation needs.
