Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 899 sqft home, built in 2001, sits on a 4,245 sqft lot in Riverbend. Its key characteristic is a study in contrasts: while its living space is notably compact compared to most homes on its street and in Winnipeg, it is one of the newer constructions in the area. The 2001 build date places it in the top 5% for age on Glencairn Road, suggesting modern systems and potentially lower immediate maintenance than older neighbours.

The appeal lies in its efficient footprint and relative modernity within an established neighbourhood. With an assessed value of $406k, it sits around the average for both Riverbend and Winnipeg, positioning it as a potentially more accessible entry point into the area. It last sold in 2020, indicating a relatively recent market test. This property would suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a modern, low-maintenance home without a premium for excess space. It’s for those who prioritize a newer build in a convenient location over square footage, offering a practical lifestyle rather than a sprawling one.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the living area too small?
At 899 sqft, the home is significantly smaller than the average on its street (~1,314 sqft). This demands efficient use of space but also translates to lower utility costs and less upkeep. It’s ideal for those comfortable with a compact, manageable layout.

2. How does its value compare?
Its $406k assessment is below the street average but aligns with the neighbourhood and city averages. This suggests you’re paying for a newer home in a good area, not for size. The past sale prices indicate steady appreciation in its price range.

3. What are the benefits of a 2001 build?
A home from 2001 is relatively new for Winnipeg, likely featuring modern wiring, plumbing, insulation standards, and building codes. This can mean fewer major system replacements and better energy efficiency compared to the city’s older housing stock.

4. How does the lot size impact the property?
The lot is smaller than others on the street but near the city average. This means less yard maintenance, which can be a plus for many, but also less private outdoor space. It’s a balanced, low-maintenance parcel.

5. Where can I get exact historical sale prices?
The site provides sold price ranges. Due to industry rules, exact MLS sale figures are not published online. You can request the full, verified transaction history by emailing the site directly for a manual lookup.
