159 Bedson Street – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Ideal Buyer Profile

This 1,078 sqft home sits on a 5,346 sqft lot and was built in 1967. In the context of its street, it’s a fairly average property. The assessed value sits at $347,000, which is slightly below the street average and notably below both the Westwood neighbourhood and city-wide averages. That lower-than-average tax assessment is one of the property’s more practical draws—it suggests a relatively modest tax burden compared to many nearby homes.

The appeal here is not about standout size or prestige. This is a home that blends in rather than stands out. Its living space and lot are close to typical for Bedson Street, but they fall below the averages for the broader Westwood neighbourhood and the city as a whole. That makes it a potentially undervalued option for someone who wants to be in this area without paying a premium for extra square footage or a bigger yard.

This property suits buyers who are looking for a solid, reasonable-sized home in an established area, and who are more interested in location and functionality than in having the largest house on the block. It would likely work well for first-time buyers, small families, or someone who wants to enter the Westwood market at a lower price point and is comfortable with a home that has typical mid-century proportions and character.


Five Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this property’s size compare to other homes in the area?
On its own street, it’s close to average. But compared to the wider Westwood neighbourhood and all of Winnipeg, this home is smaller than most. It ranks in the bottom 81% for lot size within the community and bottom 84% for living space, so if you’re used to newer or larger suburban homes, this will feel more compact.

2. What does the assessed value tell me about the property’s market position?
The tax assessment of $347,000 is below average for the street, neighbourhood, and city. That can be a positive if you’re looking for lower property taxes, but it may also indicate that the home needs some updating or lacks features that typically drive value up. Worth investigating the condition and recent renovations.

3. Is this an older home? What should I expect from a 1967 build?
Yes, it was built in 1967, which is right around the average for the street and city, but newer than many homes in Westwood. Expect typical mid-century construction: likely solid framing, but possibly original mechanicals, windows, or roof. A home inspection is strongly recommended to assess the age of major systems.

4. Who would this property not be a good fit for?
If you need a large lot, a modern open floor plan, or a home that competes on size with neighbouring properties, this likely isn’t it. It’s also less suited for someone looking for a turnkey renovation-free purchase, unless the current owner has already done significant updates.

5. What does the ranking data actually mean?
The rankings show how this home compares within its street, community, and the city. Higher percentages indicate it ranks lower in that category. For example, ranking in the top 84% for living space in Westwood means most homes in the area are bigger. The progress bars are visual guides—longer colored bars on the right side mean the home is better compared to others in that range.
