Property Overview: 884 Polson Avenue, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home presents a compelling value proposition within Winnipeg's Robertson neighborhood. Its key strength lies in its modern foundation relative to the area: built in 1959, it is significantly newer than most neighboring homes, ranking in the top 4% for its year built on its street and in Robertson. This suggests updated core systems and potentially less immediate maintenance compared to older area stock.

The 1,067 sqft living space is above average for the immediate neighborhood, offering comfortable room for a small family or couple. The assessed value of $330k is notably above the street and neighborhood averages, indicating strong perceived value by the assessor relative to nearby properties, though it sits around the citywide average. The lot size is modest, particularly compared to the city at large, which translates to less yard upkeep.

This property would suit pragmatic buyers seeking a well-sized home in an established neighborhood without the uncertainties of a much older build. It’s ideal for those who prioritize move-in readiness and solid value within their community over a large yard or a brand-new construction. A thoughtful perspective is that this home offers a "middle ground"—it provides more modern infrastructure than most on the block while still carrying the established character and maturity of the Robertson area.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the assessed value relate to the likely selling price?
The assessed value ($330k) is for municipal tax purposes and is a historical snapshot. The final sale price is determined by the current market. The home last sold between $250k-$300k in 2018, so market conditions have clearly shifted since then.

2. What does the "newer" build year (1959) actually mean for me?
Homes from the late 1950s often feature updated electrical systems (like 100-amp service or better) and plumbing compared to pre-war homes, which are common in this area. This can mean fewer major system upgrades and potentially lower insurance costs.

3. Is the lot size a drawback?
The lot is smaller than the neighborhood and city averages. This is a advantage for those wanting minimal yard maintenance but could be a limitation for buyers dreaming of extensive gardens, large outdoor entertaining spaces, or future expansions like a big garage.

4. The value ranks highly on the street but average city-wide. What does that indicate?
This suggests you are getting a property that stands out in its immediate context for its value and modernity. Compared to the entire city, it’s a typical offering. Your focus should be on whether the local neighborhood premium aligns with your lifestyle needs.

5. How can I verify the exact past sale prices?
The site provides sold price ranges based on public data. Due to industry rules, exact MLS sale figures are not published here. You can request the exact historical sold price by emailing the site for a manual lookup, which they provide without using your email for marketing.
