Property Overview: 288 Mcivor Avenue, Winnipeg
Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 1976-built home in River East presents a practical and competitively positioned offering. With 1,236 sqft of living space, it sits comfortably around the average for both the neighborhood and the wider city, suggesting a manageable size for everyday living. Its assessed value of $390,000 aligns closely with the Winnipeg average, indicating a market-appropriate entry point.
The appeal here is one of balance and value within an established community. While the lot size is smaller than others on Mcivor Avenue, it remains above the citywide average, offering decent outdoor space without the maintenance burden of a much larger yard. A thoughtful perspective is that its "around average" metrics across several categories can be a stability advantage, potentially insulating it from the extremes of over-improvement or under-provision common in more outlier properties. It last sold between $400k-$450k in mid-2021.
This home would suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a straightforward, no-surprises property in a mature neighborhood. It’s for those prioritizing a sensible layout and a fair market price over standout luxury or a massive plot. The data suggests it’s a home you buy to live in, not as a speculative project.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s size compare to its neighbors?
At 1,236 sqft, the living area is below the average for Mcivor Avenue itself but is very close to the average for the broader River East neighborhood and the City of Winnipeg. It offers a standard amount of space for the area.
2. Is the assessed value a good indicator of the likely selling price?
The $390,000 assessment is a municipal valuation for tax purposes. Market conditions ultimately determine sale price. For reference, this property sold for between $400,000 and $450,000 in June 2021.
3. The lot seems small for the street. Is that a concern?
The lot is 6,181 sqft, which is notably smaller than the large average lot on Mcivor Avenue. However, it is still above the citywide average. This means you get a respectable yard with likely less upkeep than many neighbors, but less private space than others on the same block.
4. What can you tell me about the sale history and exact past prices?
The provided data shows a sale occurred in June 2021 within a $400k-$450k range. To obtain the exact, verified sale price and full transaction history, you must request it directly via email through the site, as this information is not displayed publicly due to industry data rules.
5. Are homes from 1976 likely to have specific issues?
Built in 1976, this home is of a very common vintage in Winnipeg. Key considerations for homes of this age typically include the condition of the roof, windows, original plumbing, and electrical systems, as well as the type and age of the heating system. A thorough inspection is always recommended.
