132 Whooping Crane Drive – Property Summary

Key Characteristics and Buyer Profile

This is a newly built home (year built 2024) with a living area of 1,716 sqft, set on a 3,132 sqft lot in the Rosser-Old Kildonan area of Winnipeg. The property’s assessed value is 120k, which is notably below the street average of 551.4k and the neighborhood average of 544.7k — a discrepancy that suggests either a recent or pending reassessment, or that the home may be unfinished or valued at land-only cost by the assessor. The land area is around average for the street (top 44%) but well below the neighborhood average of 29,921 sqft, which is typical for this semi-rural area. The living area is slightly above the citywide average of 1,342 sqft.

What stands out: The home’s appeal lies in its new construction and modest footprint on a smaller lot within a neighborhood dominated by larger properties. This combination may appeal to buyers who want a newer, lower-maintenance home without the land size typical of Rosser-Old Kildonan. The assessed value gap relative to the street could also represent upside for a buyer who understands local assessment cycles.

Who it would suit: First-time buyers looking for new construction in an established neighborhood, downsizers who want a newer home without acreage upkeep, or investors who see potential in the low assessed value relative to surrounding properties. It is less suited to buyers seeking a large lot or rural-sized property.

Five Possible FAQs

1. Why is the assessed value (120k) so much lower than the street average (551.4k)?
The home was built in 2024, and the assessed value may reflect land value only, or a phased assessment that hasn't yet caught up to the completed structure. It is common for newly built homes to have a temporary low assessment until the next municipal reassessment cycle. Buyers should verify the current status with the city assessor.

2. How does the lot size compare to other homes in the area?
The lot is 3,132 sqft, which is around average for the street itself but significantly smaller than the neighborhood average of 29,921 sqft. Rosser-Old Kildonan is known for larger rural and semi-rural lots, so this property offers a more suburban-style yard in that context.

3. Is the living area of 1,716 sqft considered large for Winnipeg?
It is above the citywide average of 1,342 sqft, but similar to the street and area averages (1,716 and 1,702 sqft respectively). So while it’s not oversized, it is a solidly median-to-above-average size within the city.

4. What does the ranking data actually mean — for example, “Top 99% citywide”?
These rankings compare this property to other “comparable homes” (similar type or category) within a given scope. “Top 99% citywide” for assessed value means it ranks higher than 99% of comparable homes in Winnipeg — but that is based on the 120k value, which is unusually low. The ranking reflects the data as reported, not necessarily the market value of the finished home.

5. Is this property suitable for someone looking for a large yard or rural lifestyle?
Not really. While the neighborhood as a whole has large lots, this property’s land area is small relative to the area average. If you want space for gardening, outbuildings, or privacy acreage, this lot may feel restrictive.
