Property Overview
20 Morier Avenue is a compact, one-storey home in Winnipeg's Glenwood neighbourhood. Built in 1924, its primary appeal lies in its position as one of the most accessible entry points into the housing market. With a living area of 662 sqft and an unrenovated basement, it is a straightforward property that presents a clear value proposition.
Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer
This home's key characteristic is its modest scale and valuation. Its assessed value ($17,600) and recent sold prices are consistently among the lowest in its immediate area, street, and city-wide. The lot, while smaller than area averages at 2,578 sqft, is manageable. The home’s age places it around the neighbourhood average, suggesting it fits the area's character.
Its appeal is fundamentally financial: extremely low property taxes and a minimal purchase price. It suits a specific type of buyer: a first-time purchaser seeking the lowest possible barrier to entry, an investor looking for a basic rental property, or someone interested in a tear-down or long-term hold for the land value. It is not suited for those needing move-in-ready finishes or more space, as it ranks below the vast majority of homes in size and assessed value.
A less obvious perspective is that a home of this scale and price can offer financial freedom. The low carrying costs allow for significant savings or investment elsewhere. Additionally, its "below average" metrics across the board mean there's little premium paid for location or status—you are purely paying for the structure and land.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the city-wide average?
The assessed value reflects the home's smaller size, age, and basic condition compared to the broader Winnipeg market, which includes many larger, newer, and renovated properties.
2. What does "basement, not renovated" typically mean?
It indicates the basement is unfinished or in a basic, utilitarian state. Buyers should budget for potential updates and should inspect for foundational and moisture issues common in century-old homes.
3. Who would this property be a good fit for?
It's best for budget-conscious first-time buyers, investors seeking a low-cost rental, or those interested in the land value for future redevelopment. It requires a willingness to live modestly or to invest in renovations.
4. The home has sold several times recently. Is that a concern?
The sales history suggests it functions as a true "starter" home or investment property, with owners moving on after a relatively short period. It underscores the property's role as an affordable entry point rather than a "forever home."
5. Are the low property taxes a permanent advantage?
While taxes are based on the low assessed value, any significant renovation or rebuild that increases the home's value would result in a corresponding tax increase upon reassessment.
