Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1956-built home in Rossmere-B presents a solid, above-average offering within its immediate context. Its primary appeal lies in its generous 6,598 sqft lot, which ranks in the top 5% on its street, offering significant outdoor space and potential that stands out in the neighborhood. The living area (1,294 sqft) and assessed value ($368k) also rank well above the local street and neighborhood averages, suggesting a home that is both larger and more valuable than many of its closest comparables.

The data indicates a property that has been a strong performer in its micro-market. Its last sale in April 2023 was in the top 6% of street prices, a notable jump from its previous sale in 2017, which was in a more average range. This points to a home that has seen substantial appreciation in a short period, likely due to upgrades, market trends, or recognition of its premium lot size.

This home would suit a buyer looking for a established property in a stable neighborhood who values a larger-than-average yard for gardening, children, or future expansion. It’s for someone who appreciates a home that compares favorably to its direct neighbors in terms of size and value, rather than just city-wide averages. A thoughtful perspective is that while its city-wide rankings are more moderate, its local dominance (in lot size, value, and living space) could offer a sense of pride and a competitive edge in a future resale within the Rossmere-B area.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home truly compare to others nearby?
The data shows it consistently outperforms its immediate neighbors. It has a larger lot than 95% of homes on Leighton Ave, more living space than 90%, and a higher assessed value than 93%. Compared to the broader Rossmere-B area, it ranks in the top 17% for lot size and top 10% for living area.

2. Has the property’s value increased?
Yes, significantly in recent years. It sold between $300k-$350k in 2017 (ranking in the top 35-45% locally) and then between $400k-$450k in 2023 (ranking in the top 5-6% locally). This indicates strong appreciation relative to the neighborhood.

3. Is the lot size a major feature?
Absolutely. The lot is the property's standout characteristic. At 6,598 sqft, it is over 1,400 sqft larger than the street average and over 1,300 sqft larger than the neighborhood average, offering rare outdoor space for the area.

4. How does it fit into the wider Winnipeg market?
On a city-wide scale, the home is more "average" in rankings for size and value, but its lot size remains above average. This suggests you are paying a premium for its superior position within the desirable Rossmere-B locale, not necessarily for city-leading specs.

5. The home was built in 1956. Is that a concern?
The year built is actually above average for both the street and neighborhood, ranking in the top 9% and 29% respectively. This means it is a newer home among its direct peers, which may suggest more modern construction for the area or potentially fewer concerns related to very aged infrastructure.
