Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1976-built home in River East presents a practical, mid-century property on a 6,102 sqft lot. With 1,042 sqft of living space and a $355k assessed value, its metrics tell a story of a home that is modest relative to its immediate street but competitive within the wider city context. Its living area is below the local street and neighborhood averages, yet it sits close to the Winnipeg-wide average. The lot size, while smaller than many on Knowles Avenue, is actually above average for the city, offering decent outdoor space.

The appeal here is grounded in value and potential. It suits first-time buyers or practical investors looking for an entry point into a stable neighborhood without a premium price tag. It’s a property for those who see opportunity in a home that may need updates, valuing the lot size and location over immediate move-in perfection. A thoughtful perspective is that while it ranks lower on its own street for size and value, this can represent a relative affordability in a desirable area, allowing buyers to gain a foothold and add value over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this property a good value compared to its neighbors?
The assessed value is below the street average but aligns with the neighborhood and city averages. This suggests you may be paying less for the location than neighbors with larger or updated homes, which could be advantageous.

2. How does the lot size compare?
At just over 6,000 sqft, the lot is smaller than many on Knowles Avenue but is actually above the average lot size for Winnipeg as a whole. It provides a decent outdoor space relative to the city norm.

3. What can the 2016 sale price tell me?
The home sold for an estimated $250k-$300k in mid-2016. This historical data provides a benchmark for past market value, but it is not a guaranteed indicator of current value or future price. Exact figures require a manual lookup.

4. Who would this home suit best?
It’s well-suited for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors comfortable with a property that may require some modernization. Its appeal is for those prioritizing location and lot potential over immediate square footage or finished condition.

5. How accurate is this data and how can I get verified figures?
The data is compiled from public sources and is reasonably reliable but not guaranteed. For a fully verified transaction history and exact sold prices, you must request a manual lookup via email, as this site does not display MLS records.
