Property Overview: 860 Spruce Street, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 860 Spruce Street in the Minto neighbourhood is defined by its practicality and value. Built in 1928, it is a historic property with a compact 704 sqft living area, which is notably smaller than most homes on its street, in Minto, and across Winnipeg. This smaller scale is paired with a modest assessed value of $22,900, which is below average for the city but aligns more closely with area norms. The lot size of 3,059 sqft is fairly typical for the local area.
The primary appeal lies in its position as an accessible entry point into the Winnipeg market. It suits buyers seeking minimal property tax exposure due to its low assessment, or those looking for a manageable, lower-maintenance footprint. It could be a strategic purchase for a first-time buyer, an investor looking for a rental property with a lower cost basis, or someone interested in the character of an older home without the scale and upkeep of a larger property. A less obvious perspective is that its smaller size and lot, while not grand, offer an opportunity for efficient living and a smaller environmental footprint. The data suggests it last sold for between $150,000 and $200,000 in 2019, indicating its market price is significantly higher than its assessed value for tax purposes.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the likely sale price?
Municipal property assessments in Manitoba are for tax purposes and are not intended to reflect current market value. They are based on a mass appraisal system and can lag behind rapid market changes, which is why a sale price from 2019 is already multiples higher than the $22,900 assessment.
2. What does the "top 85%" ranking for living area mean?
This statistic means the home's living area is smaller than approximately 85% of comparable properties on Spruce Street. In simpler terms, it is in the smaller 15% of homes on the street, confirming its compact nature.
3. Is a 98-year-old home a concern?
While offering classic charm, a home from 1928 will likely require careful attention to aging components like wiring, plumbing, and the foundation. A thorough inspection is essential, but many homes of this era in Winnipeg have been successfully maintained and updated over time.
4. Who would benefit most from this property's low assessed value?
The low assessed value directly translates to lower annual property taxes. This is particularly advantageous for long-term owners or investors, as it reduces ongoing holding costs, improving cash flow for a rental or making homeownership more affordable over time.
5. How can I find out the exact past sale price?
The exact sale price is not public record in Manitoba. The listing service provides an estimated range based on available data. You can request the precise historical sale price by emailing the service directly, as noted on the property page.
