851 McDermot Avenue – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1906-built home with 1,214 sq ft of living space on a 4,150 sq ft lot. The assessed tax value is $235,000. Compared to other properties on McDermot Avenue, the house sits comfortably in the top third for both living area and lot size—meaning it's slightly larger than the street average. Within the West Alexander neighbourhood, the lot is notably bigger than typical, while the assessed value runs above the local norm. Citywide, however, both the living space and lot size fall below average, and the assessed value is low relative to Winnipeg as a whole.

The appeal lies in its balance: a reasonably spacious interior and generous yard for the street and immediate area, in an older neighbourhood where character homes are common. The 1906 build date is older than the street average but right in line with the surrounding community, so this isn't an outlier age-wise for West Alexander.

This property would suit buyers who value a larger-than-average lot in a central, established neighbourhood, and who are comfortable with the realities of an older home—maintenance, possible updates, and the quirks that come with a 1906 structure. It's less suited to someone looking for a turnkey modern house or a large suburban footprint.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home's size compare to others nearby?
On your street, it's above average—ranked in the top third for both living area and lot size. In the wider West Alexander neighbourhood, the lot is a standout (top quarter), while the living space is about average.

2. Is a 1906 home a risky purchase?
Not necessarily, but it depends on how well it's been maintained. The build year is typical for the neighbourhood, so many homes nearby are similar in age. Focus on the condition of the foundation, roof, electrical, and plumbing rather than the year alone.

3. Why is the assessed value higher than the neighbourhood average but lower than the city average?
West Alexander has a mix of older homes with moderate assessed values, so this property sits above that baseline. Citywide, Winnipeg includes many newer, larger, and higher-valued homes in suburbs, which pushes the average up.

4. What's the lot actually like?
At 4,150 sq ft, it's a good size for the area—bigger than most on your street and in the neighbourhood. That leaves room for a decent yard, garden, or outdoor projects, though it's still modest compared to typical suburban lots citywide.

5. Who typically buys in this area?
People who want an established central location, often drawn to older homes with character, larger lots, and mature streets. It's common to see buyers who appreciate handyman potential or are looking for a property they can gradually update rather than a finished product.
