Property Overview: 908 Polson Avenue, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1,012 sqft home on Polson Avenue in the Robertson neighborhood presents a solid, mid-century property with distinct advantages in its immediate area. Built in 1958, it is notably newer than most homes on its street and in Robertson, where average build dates are 1934 and 1949 respectively. This suggests potentially fewer concerns with aging infrastructure compared to neighboring houses.

The home’s assessed value of $309k ranks well above average for both the street and the neighborhood, indicating it is perceived as a higher-value property within this local context. The lot size is generous for the street, offering above-average outdoor space. While the living area is slightly below the citywide average, it is competitive locally.

Its appeal lies in being a relatively modern home in an older, established neighborhood, offering a balance of space and value. It would suit a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking a manageable footprint without sacrificing yard space, or an investor looking for a property that stands out positively in its direct vicinity. The recent sale in 2024 provides clear, contemporary market context for valuation.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the 1958 build year affect this home?
Being built decades after many neighbors (street average: 1934) often means updated construction methods, wiring, and plumbing standards for its era, which can mean fewer immediate major repairs than with much older homes.

2. The assessed value seems high for the area. Why?
At $309k, it ranks in the top 17% of the neighborhood. This premium assessment likely reflects the newer build year, the well-sized lot, and the home’s condition or improvements relative to nearby properties.

3. Is the living space too small?
At 1,012 sqft, it is close to the neighborhood average (977 sqft) and typical for the area. It represents an efficient, manageable layout rather than an expansive one, suiting those who prioritize lower maintenance.

4. What does the recent sale price tell us?
Reported to have sold between $300k-$350k in August 2024, the final price aligned closely with its $309k assessed value, confirming its market valuation in a recent transaction.

5. How does this property compare city-wide?
It’s a study in contrasts: while its size and value are below Winnipeg-wide averages, it ranks as newer and more valuable than most direct comparables in Robertson. This highlights its strength as a local standout rather than a city-wide one.
