Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a modern, low-maintenance home built in 2022, offering a move-in-ready condition with the benefits of recent construction, such as updated building codes and modern systems. Its primary appeal lies in this contemporary foundation paired with a manageable scale. At 1,472 sqft, the living space is practical and efficient, ranking respectably against both its immediate street and the wider city.

The property presents a nuanced value proposition. Its assessed value is comfortably below the average for the North Inkster Industrial area, potentially offering relative value within a newer-built segment of the neighbourhood. However, this comes with a notably compact 2,501 sqft lot, which is significantly smaller than typical lots in the area and across Winnipeg. This trade-off is key: you are acquiring a modern home while forgoing extensive outdoor space.

This home would best suit buyers prioritizing a newer build with minimal immediate repair needs, who prefer a simpler, low-maintenance yard. It’s a practical choice for first-time homeowners or downsizers looking for modern comforts without the premium often attached to newer homes in older, established neighbourhoods. The data suggests it’s a city-wide standout for its newness, but very much a product of its area’s denser, more compact lot style.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the property’s value compare to recent sales?
Based on available data, the home last sold between $350,000 and $400,000 in mid-2022. Its current assessed value of $401,000 sits below the average for the North Inkster Industrial area, suggesting it may be valued competitively within its immediate market.

2. What are the implications of the smaller lot size?
The 2,501 sqft lot is in the bottom tier for lot size locally and city-wide. This means minimal yard maintenance and lower exterior upkeep costs, but also very limited private outdoor space for gardening, recreation, or future expansions like a large deck or addition.

3. Is the living space smaller than other homes nearby?
At 1,472 sqft, the living area is slightly above the average for homes on its own street, but below the average for the broader North Inkster Industrial area. This indicates the home offers a fairly standard amount of interior space for its specific locale, which tends toward newer, efficiently built homes.

4. Why is the "Year Built" ranking so high city-wide?
Ranking in the top 1% city-wide for being built in 2022 highlights Winnipeg’s vast inventory of older housing stock. It underscores this home’s primary advantage: it is a genuinely modern property in a market where the average home was built decades ago.

5. How can I verify the exact historical sale price?
The provided sold price is a range from public records. For fully verified and exact transaction figures, you must request a manual lookup from the site via email, as they do not display proprietary MLS sold data.
