Property Overview: 210 Roger Street, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Buyer Appeal

This home presents a distinct value proposition within Winnipeg's Norwood East neighborhood. Its key characteristic is a notable imbalance between its below-average assessed value and its above-average lot size for the immediate street. While the 1,051 sqft living space is typical for the area and the 1910 build date is older than most, the 4,295 sqft land parcel is larger than many neighbors' lots. This combination suggests potential for the property itself, whether through updates, an addition, or simply enjoying more outdoor space than is common on the block.

The primary appeal lies in its position as a relatively affordable entry point into a mature neighborhood. With an assessed value consistently below area averages, it may attract budget-conscious buyers, including first-time homeowners or investors, who see value in the land and location over a modern or large interior. It suits a practical buyer comfortable with an older home's character and potential maintenance, and who values a larger private yard over a more recently built structure. A thoughtful perspective is that this property might represent a "blank canvas" opportunity where the land is a more significant asset than the current improvements, appealing to those with longer-term renovation or landscaping visions.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the assessed value so much lower than the neighborhood average?
The assessed value is influenced by multiple factors, with the home's older age (1910) and modest living area likely being significant contributors compared to larger or updated homes in Norwood East.

2. What does the larger lot size mean for me?
The lot is approximately 25% larger than the average on Roger Street. This offers more outdoor space for gardening, recreation, or storage. It could also provide more flexibility for future projects like a shed, deck, or expansion, subject to local zoning bylaws.

3. How reliable are the sold price data shown?
The sold price range (CA$150k–200k in 2016) is based on publicly available data, not the MLS. For fully verified and exact historical sale figures, you must request a manual lookup from the site via email.

4. The home is older than average. What should I consider?
A 1910-built home will likely have older infrastructure. A thorough inspection is essential to understand the condition of the foundation, plumbing, electrical systems, and roof. Budgeting for maintenance and potential updates should be a key part of your evaluation.

5. Are the nearby listed properties direct comparisons?
The "nearby properties" are close in location but not necessarily similar in specs. The "similar assessed value" listings are from across Winnipeg and may be in different neighborhood contexts. They are useful for gauging what price point buys elsewhere but not for direct street-to-street comparison.
