Property Overview: 162 Summerfield Way, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Buyer Appeal

This 1,246 sqft home, built in 1973, presents a practical opportunity in Winnipeg's River East neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in its strong positioning on its own street. The living area is notably larger than most immediate neighbors (ranking in the top 3% on Summerfield Way), and it is one of the newer homes on the block. However, this street-level advantage comes with a broader context: the property's assessed value ($265k) and lot size (3,205 sqft) sit below the wider neighborhood and city averages. This creates a distinct profile—a home that stands out favorably on its specific street but is priced more accessibly within the larger area.

The home would suit a first-time buyer or a downsizer seeking a well-sized living space in an established area without a premium price tag. It’s a pragmatic choice for someone who values interior space over a large yard and is comfortable with a home that may offer relative value compared to its immediate neighbors, but might not have the same investment premium as properties on larger lots in River East. A thoughtful perspective is that this property could represent a "street-level gem" within its more affordable price tier, offering more house for your money on a street of generally smaller, older homes.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the likely selling price?
While the assessed value of $265k is a municipal figure for tax purposes, the last known sale (late 2022) fell in the $200k-$250k range. Market conditions, property condition, and updates since then will ultimately determine the price. The assessed value being below area averages suggests a potentially more accessible entry point.

2. How does the lot size compare, and what does it mean for outdoor space?
The lot is 3,205 sqft, which is smaller than the typical lot in both River East and Winnipeg overall. This means lower maintenance but also more limited private outdoor space compared to many area homes. It is, however, roughly average for Summerfield Way itself.

3. The home is listed as newer than most on the street. Does that mean it’s been updated?
The "Year Built" data only indicates the home's original construction date (1973) is newer than most on its street. It does not confirm any recent renovations or updates. The condition of major systems (roof, windows, HVAC) and interior finishes would need to be verified through a viewing and inspection.

4. The living area ranks very high on the street but is average city-wide. How should I interpret this?
This indicates you are getting a home with above-average interior space for Summerfield Way, which is a street of generally smaller homes. Compared to the entire city of Winnipeg, however, the size is typical. The appeal is getting more space relative to the direct neighborhood norm.

5. Where can I find the exact historical sale prices for this property?
The site provides sold price ranges for context. Due to data display rules, obtaining exact, verified sale figures requires a manual lookup. You can request this information directly via email through the provided link on the property page.
