619 Davidson Street – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a standout property in the Silver Heights neighbourhood, ranking in the top 2% on its street and top 1% within the area for living area. At 2,066 square feet, it’s nearly double the typical home both on Davidson Street (1,135 sq ft average) and in Silver Heights (1,204 sq ft average). The assessed value of $432,000 places it in the top 2% for the street and area, though it sits in a more moderate top 32% citywide—suggesting this is a high-end home within a stable, established neighbourhood rather than a luxury district.

Built in 1954, the home is above average for its immediate street but falls in the bottom third citywide by age, meaning it’s older than much of Winnipeg’s newer stock. The 6,213 sq ft lot is above average for all three scopes, offering more outdoor space than the median home in the city (top 27%). The combination of a large interior and generous lot makes this a rare find locally. The appeal lies in the space and value: you’re getting a home that significantly outperforms its neighbours for both square footage and assessed value, in a mid-century era that often means solid construction and mature landscaping.

This property would suit buyers who want a roomy, detached home in an established community without the premium of a top-tier citywide location. It’s ideal for families needing interior space, those who value a larger lot for gardens or recreation, or investors looking for above-average equity growth potential in a neighbourhood where the home is already a top performer.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this property compare to others on the same street?
It ranks #2 out of 89 homes on Davidson Street for both living area and assessed value. The median home on the street is about 1,135 sq ft with a $309,100 assessment—so this property is roughly 82% larger and assessed 40% higher than a typical neighbour.

2. What does the “top 1% in Silver Heights” ranking actually mean for resale value?
It means this home is among the largest and most valuable in the area. That can be a double-edged sword: while it stands out for quality, it may also take longer to sell because the buyer pool for a premium-priced home in a mid-range neighbourhood is smaller than for a typical starter or family home.

3. Is the 1954 build something to worry about?
Not necessarily. Homes from that era often have good bones—solid framing, generous room sizes, and mature trees. However, mechanicals (furnace, electrical, plumbing, roof) and insulation may need updating. A home inspection should focus on these systems, as the citywide age ranking (bottom 33%) suggests many newer homes have replaced older stock, so this one hasn’t been modernized in that sense.

4. How does the lot size affect day-to-day living?
At 6,213 sq ft, you’ve got above-average yard space for Winnipeg, which is useful for gardening, a playset, or a patio. But larger lots also mean more maintenance—lawn care, snow clearing, and possibly older trees needing care. It’s a trade-off worth considering if you’re not keen on yard work.

5. What does “Elite” status mean next to the living area and assessed value?
It’s a label used by the ranking system to flag properties that sit in the top tier (likely top 5–10%) within their immediate comparison group. Here, it’s applied to both the 2,066 sq ft and $432k figures, reinforcing that this home is an outlier in its street and area for size and value.
