269 Helmsdale Avenue is a well-situated home in Winnipeg's Rossmere-B neighbourhood, built in 1949. It presents a practical opportunity, particularly for its above-average living space relative to the immediate area. The data suggests a home that balances size and value within its local context.
The primary appeal of this property lies in its efficient use of space. With 1,264 square feet of living area, it ranks above average for both its street and the wider Rossmere-B neighbourhood, offering more room than many comparable homes nearby. This makes it a strong candidate for small families or those seeking a comfortable footprint without an oversized property.
Its assessed value of approximately $328,000 is very close to the street average, positioning it as a standard offering for Helmsdale Avenue, but it sits above the neighbourhood average. This indicates you are paying for a home that is competitive on its block and a step above many in the broader community in terms of official valuation.
The lot size, at 5,382 sqft, is smaller than most on the street but typical for the neighbourhood. This could be seen as a trade-off: less yard maintenance but also less private outdoor space than some direct neighbours. A thoughtful perspective is that the home itself, being larger than the area norm, is the primary asset here rather than the land.
This home would suit a value-conscious buyer looking for move-in-ready space in a stable, established area. It’s particularly suited for those who prioritize interior living space over a large yard and who appreciate a home that holds its own in the local market without being the most expensive on the block.
1. How does this home’s value compare to recent sales?
The home last sold in mid-2021 for between $250,000 and $300,000. Its current assessed value of $328,000 suggests significant appreciation since that last sale, aligning it with the upper end of that previous range.
2. Is the home older than others in the area?
Yes. Built in 1949, it is older than most homes on its street and in the Rossmere-B neighbourhood. Prospective buyers should factor in the potential for updates to major aging components like the roof, windows, or plumbing.
3. What are the advantages of the above-average living area?
Ranking in the top 11% for size in Rossmere-B, the home offers more interior space than nearly 90% of similar neighbourhood properties. This provides a tangible advantage for daily living, offering more flexibility for furniture, storage, and family life.
4. The lot seems smaller than others on the street. Is that a concern?
While the lot is smaller than the street average, it is very close to the neighbourhood average. This means the yard is typical for Rossmere-B but may feel compact compared to the immediate neighbours. It translates to less lawn care but also more limited potential for expansions like large decks or additions.
5. How stable has the property’s value been?
The sales history shows it sold in a similar price range in both 2016 and 2021, indicating steady demand. The increase to its current assessed value points to a strong market uplift in recent years, consistent with broader Winnipeg trends.
