122 Avior Drive – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 2024-built home offers 1,646 square feet of living space on a 4,723-square-foot lot. The property ranks at the top of its street for new construction—it's the newest home on Avior Drive—and places in the top 1% citywide for year built, which is notable in Winnipeg where the average home dates to 1966.

The living area is above average for both the West Kildonan Industrial neighbourhood (top 30%) and Winnipeg as a whole (top 23%). The assessed value of $482,000 sits slightly below the street average of $498,900 but above neighbourhood and city averages, suggesting it's priced competitively for its size and age. The land area is generous relative to the immediate area—top 25% on the street—though citywide it falls closer to the median, as Winnipeg lots tend to be larger overall.

Where the appeal lies: this is a home that offers new construction without the typical trade-offs in space or lot size. Many newer infill builds in Winnipeg sacrifice yard for square footage, but here both are solid. The property suits buyers who want a turnkey home—no renos, no waiting—and who value modern construction quality over character or established landscaping. It also suits anyone who wants to avoid the often inflated street-level premium for new builds; the assessed value suggests this home hasn't outpriced its neighbours the way some new homes do.

Less obvious angle: the "top 1%" year-built stat isn't just about newness—it means this home is newer than over 194,000 others in the city. That matters for insurance, maintenance costs, and energy efficiency, especially in a climate like Winnipeg's. Another angle: the land-to-living-area ratio here is roughly 2.87:1, which offers more outdoor space per square foot indoors than many new builds—relevant for anyone with kids, dogs, or gardening plans.

Ideal buyer profile: First-time buyers who want something new without paying new-home subdivision premiums; downsizers from older larger homes who want modern convenience without losing yard space; investors targeting newer construction for lower carry costs and tenant appeal.

Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the assessed value compare to what I'd actually pay?
Assessed value is a market benchmark, not a list price. At $482,000, it's slightly below the street average and above the neighbourhood average. For context, comparable new builds in West Kildonan Industrial often list within 5–10% of assessed value—but you'd want to check recent sale comps for the specific street.

2. Why is the citywide land area rank (top 62%) lower than the neighbourhood rank (top 22%)?
Winnipeg as a whole has very large lots—the citywide average is 6,570 sqft, versus the neighbourhood average of 3,839 sqft. So while this lot is bigger than most in the immediate area, it's smaller than many older Winnipeg properties, especially those in suburbs with deep yards.

3. What does "comparable homes" mean in these rankings?
The analysis groups homes by similar type, size range, and location within each geographic scope. So "citywide" isn't every home in Winnipeg—it's citywide homes that share characteristics with this property. That said, the exact filtering method isn't detailed here, so treat rankings as directional rather than precise.

4. Does being the newest home on the street affect resale value long-term?
Initially, yes—it gives you a premium. Over time, that premium fades as other homes maintain or update. The benefit is you're buying at a known baseline, not guessing at hidden issues. The risk is minimal unless the street itself declines, which doesn't seem indicated by the solid land and value rankings.

5. Is the living area of 1,646 sqft considered generous for a home built in 2024?
In Winnipeg, yes. The citywide average living area for comparable homes is 1,342 sqft, and the neighbourhood average is 1,591 sqft. So it's above average in both. It's not oversized, but it's comfortably spacious for a couple or small family—especially given the separate land area for outdoor use.
