Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home is a compact, historic property built in 1900, offering a unique proposition in the Winnipeg market. Its key characteristic is its modest scale, with a living area of 704 sqft situated on a 3,053 sqft lot, both significantly below local and city-wide averages. The assessed value of $230k is correspondingly below the norm for the area, reflecting its size and age.

The primary appeal lies in its affordability and potential. It represents one of the most accessible entry points into homeownership in the established Norwood East neighbourhood. This isn't a move-in-ready showcase; its value is rooted in opportunity. It would suit a pragmatic first-time buyer comfortable with a smaller footprint, an investor looking for a character rental, or a hands-on individual seeking a project with a solid land base in a mature community. A thoughtful perspective is that its age and smaller size might translate to lower utility costs and simpler maintenance, appealing to those seeking a minimalist or efficient lifestyle. Its below-average metrics across the board signal a property that isn't competing with modern suburban homes, but rather offering a distinct, value-oriented niche.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the assessed value notably lower than neighbouring homes?
The assessed value reflects the home's smaller size (704 sqft), older age (1900), and comparatively smaller lot relative to others on the street and in Norwood East. It is priced for its existing characteristics, not for potential.

2. What should I consider due to the home's age?
As a 124-year-old home, a thorough inspection is essential. While offering character, potential buyers should budget for updates to older systems like wiring, plumbing, and insulation, and be mindful of historical maintenance standards.

3. How accurate is the sold price data shown?
The site notes that sold price data is from public sources, not the MLS, and is presented in ranges. For fully verified transaction history and exact figures, you must request a manual lookup via email from the service.

4. Is the small living area a major limitation?
It depends on your needs. At 704 sqft, it is among the smallest in the area. It demands efficient use of space and would not suit those requiring multiple large rooms. However, it can be an advantage for those seeking lower maintenance and costs.

5. What does the "rank" and "top X%" data mean for each metric?
These rankings compare this property to others on its street, in Norwood East, and city-wide. For example, a "Top 100%" rank for living area means it has the smallest living space in its immediate comparison group. It is a quick visual tool to see how the property compares in specific categories.
