Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 864 sqft bungalow, built in 1974, presents a practical entry point into Winnipeg’s River East neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in its relative affordability, with an assessed value of $275k that sits well below area and city averages. The home is notably compact, with a living area and land size (2,852 sqft) that are significantly smaller than most comparable properties nearby. This creates a specific dynamic: while the interior space is modest, the lower price point and manageable lot could translate to lower property taxes and easier upkeep.

The property would best suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a lower-cost foothold in a stable neighborhood. Its value is functional rather than aspirational. A thoughtful perspective is that its smaller scale might be an advantage for those seeking to minimize their environmental footprint or who prioritize a simplified lifestyle without a large yard to maintain. The data shows it sold between $200k-$250k in early 2020, suggesting a history of being a value-oriented option in the market.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the likely selling price?
The assessed value ($275k) is for municipal tax purposes. Market price is determined by current conditions. Recent comparable sales in the area and the home’s specific condition will be the true drivers.

2. How much of a concern is the below-average living and land area?
This depends entirely on your needs. For a single person, couple, or someone downsizing, the space may be sufficient. It is a compromise that directly enables the more affordable price point compared to larger homes on the same street.

3. The home was built in 1974. What should I be aware of?
Homes from this era may have original components nearing the end of their service life, such as roofing, windows, or major systems like the furnace. A thorough inspection is essential to understand any upcoming maintenance or update costs.

4. Are property taxes here likely to be high?
Given that the assessed value is below the neighborhood and city averages, the property tax bill should be proportionally lower than for larger, higher-valued homes in River East. You can confirm an estimate with the city’s tax calculator.

5. The lot is smaller than most. Does this limit future expansion?
The compact lot size likely limits the potential for large additions or extensive outdoor structures. Any renovation plans would need to be carefully designed to comply with zoning bylaws regarding setbacks and lot coverage.
