Property Overview: 917 Government Avenue, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home presents a solid, value-oriented opportunity in Winnipeg's Munroe East neighborhood. Built in 1959, it is notably newer than many homes on its street. With 1,022 sqft of living space, it offers more room than most immediate neighbors, and its assessed value is above the local street average. The lot size of 4,900 sqft is consistent with the area.

The primary appeal lies in its relative standing within its immediate community. It's a property that outperforms many direct comparables on Government Avenue in key metrics like age, size, and assessed value, suggesting a well-maintained or updated home in a stable setting. It would suit practical, first-time buyers or investors looking for a home that already holds a strong position on its block without a premium city-wide price tag. It’s also a sensible choice for those who prioritize neighborhood character and lot size over maximizing interior square footage compared to the broader city market.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home really compare to others nearby?
The data shows it ranks well against its closest neighbors. It's newer than about 87% of homes on Government Avenue, has above-average living area for the street, and a higher assessed value than roughly 81% of nearby properties. This indicates it is likely a standout on its block.

2. What does the assessed value tell me about the property tax?
The assessed value for taxation purposes is $30,900. This is a key figure for estimating annual property taxes, but you must multiply it by the City of Winnipeg's annual mill rate for an exact amount. It's notably above the street average, which can sometimes reflect updates or favorable conditions.

3. The home sold between 2016 and 2025. Can I find out the exact price?
Yes, but the exact sold price is not publicly displayed. As noted, you can request it via email from the listing source. They provide this data manually and state they do not use requests for unsolicited marketing.

4. Is the lot size a pro or a con?
At 4,900 sqft, the lot is very typical for Munroe East and on Government Avenue. It offers standard outdoor space for the area but is below the city-wide average lot size. It's a con if you desire extensive yard space by broader city standards, but a pro if you prefer a manageable, neighborhood-typical lot.

5. How can I visualize this property in context with its neighbors?
The listing suggests using a "neighbourhood analysis page" to see the home on a map alongside nearby houses, comparing year built, size, value, and lot size visually. This is useful for understanding the immediate streetscape and how this property fits in.
