Property Overview: 91 Essex Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a compact, one-storey home in Winnipeg's Glenwood neighborhood, built in 1919. Its key characteristic is its modest scale, with a living area of 610 sqft that places it among the smaller homes on its street and in the wider city. The lot is a standard city size at just over 3,000 sqft, and the property includes a detached garage. The basement exists but is noted as not renovated.

The primary appeal lies in its accessibility and potential. With a historically low sold price and an assessed value significantly below city averages, it represents a clear entry point into the Winnipeg market. It suits a very specific buyer: a first-time purchaser, an investor looking for a rental property, or someone seeking a minimalist footprint who is comfortable with a home that requires updates. Its smaller size means lower utility costs and less maintenance, which can be a thoughtful trade-off for the right owner. The charm here isn't in grandeur, but in opportunity and simplicity.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this a "tear-down" or a livable home?
Based on the data, it is a standing, functional home with a recent sale history. While the basement is unrenovated and the living space is small, it is likely livable but would appeal most to someone planning gradual updates or comfortable with its as-is condition.

2. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the city average?
The assessed value reflects the home's smaller size, age, and likely condition compared to the broader market. It is more in line with values for very modest homes in its immediate area, which is a key consideration for property taxes.

3. What does the "rank" data actually tell me?
The rankings show how this property compares to others. For example, living area is in the bottom 6% on its own street, meaning it's one of the smallest houses there. This isn't inherently negative—it explains the lower price and indicates a neighborhood of varied home sizes.

4. Who would this property NOT suit?
It would not suit buyers needing move-in-ready, modern finishes, multiple bedrooms, or significant space for a growing family. The unrenovated basement and compact layout require a pragmatic approach to living.

5. The sold price history shows a range. What's the next step?
The listing service provides an estimated sold price range from public data. To get the exact sale price for your own valuation research, you must request it directly from them via the provided email link, as they manually verify and share that specific figure.
