Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home at 260 Emerson Avenue in River East presents as a solid, middle-of-the-market property. Built in 1976, it features 1,196 square feet of living space on a 6,102 square foot lot, with a recent assessed value of $384,000. The data consistently shows it ranks "around average" in nearly every category for its street, neighborhood, and city-wide, indicating a home that is very typical for the area. Its appeal lies in this predictability and stability—it’s a known quantity in a mature community. The lot size is a relative standout, ranking above the Winnipeg city average, offering a bit more outdoor space than many comparable homes.

This property would suit a pragmatic buyer, perhaps a first-time homeowner or downsizer, who values a straightforward purchase in an established neighborhood without unexpected premium costs or major compromises. It’s for someone seeking a comfortable entry into the Winnipeg market, where the investment is aligned closely with community norms. A less obvious perspective is that a home so statistically average can be a strategic choice, offering lower risk from an assessment and resale standpoint, as its value is firmly anchored to reliable local benchmarks.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What was the exact sold price in July 2024?
The sold price is listed within the range of CA$400,000–450,000. Due to data source rules, exact figures require a manual lookup. You can request the precise sold price history by email at no cost.

2. How does this home compare to others on the street?
It is very representative of Emerson Avenue. Its living area, assessed value, and year built all rank near the middle of the 183 comparable homes on the street, offering a good snapshot of what to expect in this location.

3. Is the lot size a significant advantage?
While the lot is slightly smaller than the average on Emerson Avenue, it ranks above the city-wide average for Winnipeg. This suggests the outdoor space is a relative strength compared to many homes across the city, though it is typical for the immediate area.

4. What can the rankings tell me about property taxes?
Since the assessed value ranks near the middle for the street and neighborhood (Top 48% and 53%, respectively), it is reasonable to expect that future property tax bills will also be similarly average for River East, not unusually high or low.

5. Are sold prices from this site as reliable as MLS data?
The sold price data is compiled from publicly available sources, not the MLS. The site notes that while figures are reasonably reliable, they are not guaranteed. For fully verified transaction history and exact figures, they recommend using their free manual lookup service via email.
