Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home truly compare to others nearby?
The data shows it is larger than 99% of homes in Mandalay West and 96% of homes across Winnipeg, making its interior space a rare find. On its own street, it ranks 5th largest out of 40 properties.

2. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the likely selling price?
The assessed value of $64,600 is a municipal tax valuation, not a market price. Its "Elite" ranking suggests it is a high-value property for the area, but the current market price would be determined by recent comparable sales, conditions, and buyer demand.

3. What does the lot size mean for potential use?
At 8,673 sqft, the lot is significantly larger than the average for both the neighbourhood and the city. This allows more privacy, landscaping potential, and space for additions like a deck, garden, or play area compared to typical properties.

4. The home was built in 2005. What should I consider about its age?
As a 21-year-old home, major components like the roof, HVAC system, and windows may be nearing or due for replacement, depending on their quality and maintenance. A thorough inspection is advised, though the build year is newer than most Winnipeg homes.

5. How can I find out the exact past sale price?
The listed sale range is based on public data. The exact sold price from 2017 is available by request from the listing service, which provides it manually via email without using your address for marketing spam.
