Property Overview: 52 Salme Drive, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Target Buyer

This home presents a compelling value proposition centered on space and land within a mature neighborhood. Its key characteristic is the generous 2,274 sqft of living space, which ranks within the top 5% city-wide, offering significantly more room than the typical Winnipeg home. This is paired with a large, private lot of nearly 10,000 sqft, placing it in the top 7% of the city for land area. Built in 1968, the home is of a typical vintage for its established Victoria Crescent community.

The primary appeal lies in this combination of abundant interior space and a substantial yard, achieved at a property tax assessment value notably below the local area averages. This suggests an opportunity for buyers seeking a larger footprint without the premium price tag often found on Salme Drive or in the wider community. It would particularly suit practical buyers who prioritize space—both indoors and outdoors—over a modern build date, and who may see value in a home that offers room to grow or customize. It’s a property for those who appreciate established neighborhoods and might be comfortable with a home that, while well-sized, could benefit from updates reflective of its era.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the tax assessment so much lower than the street and community averages?
This is a key point of analysis. The assessment is based on the city’s valuation formula, which considers many factors. The below-average assessment relative to immediate neighbors could reflect the home’s specific condition, features, or the timing of the assessment. It’s important to note that market sale price can differ significantly from the tax-assessed value.

2. Is the land size a major advantage?
Yes, especially from a city-wide perspective. At 9,747 sqft, the lot is over 48% larger than the Winnipeg average, offering excellent outdoor space, privacy, and potential. However, within its own street and community, the lot is closer to the average size.

3. What does the "top 5%" city-wide ranking for living space really mean?
It means that 95% of comparable homes in Winnipeg are smaller. You are getting significantly above-average square footage for the city, which is a strong asset for family living, home offices, or entertainment.

4. The home was built in 1968. What should I consider?
This is a mature home. While systems and structure can be sound, buyers should budget for potential updates to elements like windows, roofing, plumbing, or electrical to modern standards. A thorough home inspection is essential to understand the condition of these aging components.

5. How does this home fit within its specific neighborhood on Salme Drive?
The data shows it’s a solid, middle-of-the-road property for its immediate street. It doesn’t lead in lot size or assessment value on the block, but it holds its own with average build year and living space. Its standout features (large interior, big yard) are more pronounced when compared to the entire city rather than just its direct neighbors.
