410-545 Dale Boulevard

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1,110-square-foot home on Dale Boulevard, built in 2018. Compared to other properties on the same street, it ranks in the top 21% for size and the top 21% for assessed value. Within the Westdale neighbourhood, it sits in the top 26% for square footage and top 18% for tax assessment. City-wide, it falls in the top 36% for size and top 28% for value. The build year places it in the top 8% of homes across Winnipeg, meaning it’s newer than the vast majority of properties in the city—the average build year city-wide is 1990.

The appeal here is a newer, above-average-sized home in an established neighbourhood, without pushing into ultra-premium territory. It’s not the largest or most expensive on the block, but it holds its own against both street and community averages. That balance can be attractive to buyers who want something distinctly newer and roomier than the local norm, but don’t need or want to be at the top end of the market. It likely suits a family or couple looking for a well-built home in a mature area like Westdale, where many surrounding properties are older and smaller. It could also work for someone who values a lower-maintenance newer build but still wants a solid lot and neighbourhood character rather than a subdivision feel.

Five Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the assessed value compare to similar-sized homes nearby?
The assessed value ranks in the top 21% on the street and top 18% in Westdale, both above average. City-wide it’s in the top 28%. This is a newer home with a square footage that’s noticeably larger than the street average of 903 square feet and the community average of 984. Typically, larger and newer homes carry higher assessments, so that tracking is consistent here.

2. Is this home considered old or new by local standards?
With a build year of 2018, it’s newer than 92% of homes city-wide. On Dale Boulevard, the average build year is 2020, so it’s slightly older than the newest homes on the street, but still very recent. In the Westdale neighbourhood, the average build year is 2008, so this home is significantly newer than the broader community.

3. What does “rank in the top X%” actually mean for this property?
It means that among comparable homes on the same street, in the same neighbourhood, or across Winnipeg, the property ranks higher than a certain percentage of those homes. For example, ranking in the top 21% for size on Dale Boulevard means it’s larger than about 79% of the homes on that street. The ranking systems for size, value, and build year are each measured independently—larger size, higher assessed value, and newer build year all push a ranking higher.

4. How does this house compare to the average home in Westdale?
The average home in Westdale has about 984 square feet and was built around 2008. This home offers about 126 additional square feet and is roughly a decade newer. The assessed value is also higher than the neighbourhood average of $247,000. It’s a step above the typical Westdale home in all three metrics, but not dramatically so—it’s a comfortably above-average option rather than an outlier.

5. Would this property be a good fit for someone looking at resale value or long-term investment?
That depends on priorities. Newer builds with above-average square footage in established neighbourhoods tend to hold their value well, especially if the surrounding area has limited new construction. Homes built in 2018 are still in the relatively new range, which can appeal to buyers who want to avoid major renovation costs early on. However, the property is not the newest on the street, so as the neighbourhood continues to develop, it will gradually shift from “newer” to “average.” The Westdale location and solid size should support stable demand, but the real appreciation story will hinge more on the neighbourhood’s desirability than on the home itself being exceptional.
