Property Overview: 1038 Polson Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 920 sqft home, built in 1955, presents a practical opportunity in Winnipeg's Robertson neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in its strong value proposition within its immediate context. While the living space is below the city average, the property's assessed value of $299k is notably above average for both Polson Avenue and the wider Robertson area. This suggests it may offer more house for your dollar within this specific locale compared to nearby peers.

The lot size is standard for the street, and the 1955 build date is newer than many homes in the area, which can be an advantage for systems and maintenance. The home last sold between $250k-$300k in late 2019.

This property would best suit a value-conscious buyer, such as a first-time homeowner or an investor, who prioritizes equity in a established neighborhood over sheer square footage. It’s for someone who understands that a home's value is often relative to its immediate surroundings, not just city-wide averages. The data indicates you’re buying into a street and neighborhood where this home stands above the norm in terms of assessed value, which can be a stabilizing factor.

The prior sale in the $250k-$300k range aligns closely with the current $299k assessment, suggesting a history of stable valuation in this price bracket.
