Key Characteristics & Appeal

This two-storey home on College Avenue in the Inkster-Faraday neighbourhood presents a practical and straightforward opportunity. Built in 1914, its 1,040 sqft living area and 3,625 sqft lot are very typical for its immediate street and area, offering a sense of consistency and predictability in the local market. A key feature is its renovated basement, adding functional living space, and it includes a detached garage. The home’s assessed value is modest and aligns with area averages, though it sits below the citywide benchmark, which may indicate a more accessible entry point into homeownership.

Its primary appeal lies in its role as a solid, no-frills property in an established community. It suits first-time buyers or investors looking for a character home with foundational updates (like the basement) without a premium price tag. A thoughtful perspective is that its "average" metrics within the neighbourhood could be a stability advantage, insulating it from being overvalued compared to immediate comparables. It’s a home for those who value function and location over modern size or luxury, possibly appealing to someone interested in the history and character of a century-old structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the renovated basement a legal suite?
The listing notes a renovated basement but does not specify it as a legal secondary suite. Buyers should verify its permitted use with the city and clarify if it meets all safety and zoning requirements for a rental unit.

2. How does the assessed value relate to the likely selling price?
The assessed value for taxation purposes ($18,400) is historically very low and should not be used as a market price indicator. Market value will be determined by recent sales of similar homes, condition, and demand. The sold price history for this property shows a range from $155k to $185k in late 2016.

3. What should I consider with a home built in 1914?
While the renovated basement is a plus, a home of this age will likely have older components. A thorough inspection is essential to understand the condition of the original foundation, plumbing, electrical systems, and the roof.

4. How does this property compare to others on the same street?
The data shows this home is very middle-of-the-road for College Avenue in terms of size, lot, and value. It is not an outlier, suggesting maintenance and upgrade costs should be in line with what neighbours experience.

5. Why is the citywide assessed value comparison so different?
The "below average" citywide ranking is based on a comparison against all Winnipeg properties, including newer suburban homes on larger lots. This highlights that this property offers a classic, compact urban footprint at a value distinct from the broader city average.
