Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the home’s size compare to others?
Exceptionally well. With 2,288 sqft, it ranks in the top 2% of homes on Rochester Avenue and the top 5% within Fort Richmond, making it notably larger than the neighbourhood average.

2. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the scope. A prospective buyer should inquire about the finishes, the presence of permits, and whether it includes a legal secondary suite or additional bedrooms.

3. Is the pool an asset or a liability?
This depends on the buyer. It’s a premium feature for summer enjoyment and entertaining. However, thoughtful buyers should factor in ongoing maintenance costs, insurance implications, and safety considerations, especially for families with young children.

4. The home sold in 2021. What can that price history tell me?
The sold price range from May 2021 provides a recent market benchmark. Understanding how the current asking price compares to that sale, adjusted for any upgrades made since, is crucial for evaluating today’s value.

5. The assessed value seems low compared to likely market value. Why?
Municipal assessed values in Manitoba are for tax purposes and often lag behind current market values. The key metric here is that this home’s assessment is in the top tier for its street, indicating it is valued higher than its immediate peers by the assessor.
