Property Overview: 796 Polson Avenue, Winnipeg
Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal
This home at 796 Polson Avenue presents a compelling mix of value and practicality in Winnipeg's Robertson neighborhood. Built in 1955, it is notably newer than many homes on its street and in the immediate area, which may suggest updated infrastructure or fewer concerns associated with older construction.
The key appeal lies in its strong value proposition relative to its surroundings. With an assessed value of $304,000, it sits above the average for both Polson Avenue and the Robertson neighborhood, yet remains below the citywide average. This indicates you are getting a property considered premium for its specific locale without the city-level price tag. The living space is compact at 820 sqft, which is below average for the street, city, and area, positioning this as a efficient, lower-maintenance home. The lot size is typical for the street.
This property would suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking an entry into a established neighborhood without a massive footprint or yard to manage. It’s also a sensible fit for value-focused investors or buyers who prioritize a newer build year within a mature community and are comfortable with a cozy living area. The recent sale in 2022 for an estimated $300k-$350k shows it holds its value in a competitive tier.
Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the smaller living area a concern?
At 820 sqft, the home is cozier than many comparable properties. This is ideal for minimizing upkeep and utility costs, but buyers should ensure the layout meets their spatial needs. The efficient use of space will be key.
2. Why is the assessed value higher than the neighborhood average?
The above-average assessed value for the street and area likely reflects the home's more recent 1955 build year and potentially its condition or improvements. It suggests the property is considered one of the better-maintained or more modern homes in this specific market.
3. What does the sale history tell us?
The home sold in April 2022 for an estimated $300k-$350k, placing it in the top tier of local sales at that time. This indicates strong marketability. A prior 2017 sale at a lower price point shows a history of appreciation.
4. How can I get the exact past sale prices?
The provided prices are estimated ranges. To obtain the precise sale figures, you must request a manual lookup via email from the site, as they do not have access to official MLS sales records.
5. How does this home compare to others nearby?
The listing shows nearby homes on Polson and Atlantic Avenues, many of which are older (1914-1947) and have similar or lower assessed values, though some offer more living space. This highlights 796 Polson's relative modernity as a distinguishing feature.
