Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 696 sq ft home built in 1969, sitting on a 3,150 sq ft lot in Winnipeg’s Westdale neighbourhood. Compared to nearby properties, it’s on the smaller side—both in living space and lot size—ranking near the bottom on the street and within the community. Its assessed value of $236,000 also falls below the local and city averages, which matters for property taxes.
Where this property’s appeal lies is in its relative affordability. For buyers who want to be in Westdale but can’t stretch to the area’s typical price point, this represents a lower entry cost. The smaller footprint may also appeal to someone who values a simpler, lower-maintenance lifestyle—less space to heat, furnish, and maintain. It would likely suit a first-time buyer, a downsizer, or an investor looking for a cost-effective entry into a desirable neighbourhood. The building age (1969) is fairly typical for the street, so it’s not unusually dated or new—just average for the area.
A less obvious perspective: smaller homes on smaller lots in an established neighbourhood can sometimes offer more flexibility for future renovations or additions, depending on zoning. The low land value relative to the area also means you’re not paying a premium for yard space you may not need.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does this home compare to others on the same street?
It’s smaller than most—both in living space (696 sq ft vs. the street average of 1,011 sq ft) and lot size (3,150 sq ft vs. the street average of 3,714 sq ft). Its assessed value is also lower than most homes on Brownell Bay. -
Is the assessed value a good indicator of market price?
Not directly. Assessed value is used for property tax calculations and reflects a certain point in time. Market prices depend on current demand, condition, and competition. However, a below-average assessment often points to lower taxes, which can be a financial advantage. -
What does being in the “top 96%” or “top 100%” mean?
Those rankings show where the property sits relative to others in terms of size, value, or age. For example, “top 96%” means 96% of properties are larger—so it’s in the smallest tier. These rankings help you understand how this home fits within its immediate and broader surroundings. -
Is the 1969 build date a concern?
Not necessarily. Many homes from that era are solidly built. You should budget for typical updates (windows, roof, mechanicals) depending on what’s been done. The age is close to the street and city average, so it’s not unusually old for the area. -
Who typically buys a home this size in Westdale?
Often first-time buyers, singles, couples, or retirees who want to be in the neighbourhood without paying for more space than they need. It can also work as a rental property, given the lower purchase price relative to surrounding homes.
