144 Sansome Avenue – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1,040 sqft single-family home built in 1963 on a 5,656 sqft lot in Westwood, Winnipeg. What stands out here isn’t the size or the price—it’s how this property compares to its neighbours. The living area is well below the street and community averages (landing in the bottom 8% on its own street and bottom 12% in Westwood). The assessed value follows a similar pattern, sitting at $292,000, notably lower than the street average of $356,000 and the community average of $392,000. In both categories, this home ranks near the very bottom of its immediate area.

The land is where things level off: the lot is close to the street average and slightly below the community average, but it still falls in the top 40% citywide. The build year is essentially average for the street and slightly older than the community norm. So the trade-off is clear: a smaller, lower-valued home on a reasonably sized lot in a neighbourhood where most homes are larger and assessed higher.

This property would likely appeal to buyers who want to get into a decent Westwood location at a lower entry point than most homes on the block. It may suit someone looking for a smaller home that needs less upkeep floor-space-wise, or someone planning renovations or an addition, given the adequate lot size. It’s less suited for those seeking a move-in-ready family home or an asset with strong curb appeal relative to neighbours. The low assessment also suggests relatively lower property taxes, which can be a practical advantage for budget-conscious buyers.


Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the property’s size compare to other homes on the same street?
It’s one of the smallest homes on Sansome Avenue. The living area ranks 88th out of 93 homes, putting it in the bottom 95% of the street. Most nearby homes are around 1,244 sqft, about 200 sqft larger.

2. Is the assessed value in line with the neighbourhood?
No—it’s significantly lower. The assessed value of $292,000 is below both the street average ($356,000) and the community average ($392,000). It ranks 92nd out of 93 homes on the street.

3. What about the lot size—is it small too?
Not really. The lot is 5,656 sqft, which is close to the street average and slightly smaller than the Westwood average. Citywide, it ranks in the top 40%, so it’s a reasonably sized lot by Winnipeg standards.

4. How old is the home, and does that matter?
Built in 1963, it’s right at the street average and a few years older than the community median (1966). It’s not unusually old for the area, but buyers should budget for typical mid-century home maintenance, especially considering the lower-than-average listing price.

5. Would this be a good investment property or a starter home?
Both could fit. The low price and low taxes make it accessible, and the lot size offers room for future expansion. However, since it’s at the low end of the street in both size and value, resale may depend on how much the buyer improves it. For a pure investment, the numbers work on entry cost, but you’d want to be careful about over-improving relative to the street ceiling.
