Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 1,652 sqft home at 28 Jolliett Crescent stands out most for its size and build date. It’s ranked #1 on its street for year built (1968), and #3 for both living area and assessed value. That means it’s one of the newer and larger homes on Jolliett, while also being one of the most valuable relative to immediate neighbors. The assessed value sits around $408k, which is above the street average of $355k but only slightly above the city average—so the pricing is locally premium but not out of step with wider Winnipeg benchmarks.

The appeal here is subtle. It’s not a sprawling lot (5,644 sqft is actually on the smaller side for the street), so the value is concentrated in the house itself rather than the land. That can be a plus for buyers who want more indoor space without the upkeep of a large yard. The home is also newer than most on the block, which may mean fewer immediate updates compared to neighboring 1960s-era builds.

This property would suit a buyer who values interior square footage and a relatively recent build over lot size or land potential. It’s a good fit for someone who wants a solid, well-positioned house in a established neighborhood like Westwood, without paying for excess land they don’t need. Investors or families looking for a home with strong street-level comparables and modest citywide competition may also find it interesting.

Five FAQs

1. How does this home compare to others nearby in terms of value?
On Jolliett Crescent, it’s ranked #3 out of 30 homes for assessed value—roughly $52k above the street average. In the broader Westwood neighborhood, it’s in the top 27%, and citywide it’s around the middle of the pack. So you’re paying a premium for a top-tier home on this street, but not an outlier compared to the city.

2. Why is the land area smaller than average?
The lot is 5,644 sqft, which is below both the street average (5,880 sqft) and the neighborhood average (6,491 sqft). This is common for homes that were built slightly later (1968) on infill lots or narrower plots. The house itself is large, so the land-to-building ratio is tilted toward indoor living space.

3. Is the assessed value likely to increase?
Assessed value is a lagging indicator based on market conditions and comparable sales. Since this home already ranks high on its street and in the neighborhood, future increases will depend on broader market trends and any renovations you make. Its current ranking suggests it’s already near the ceiling for its immediate area.

4. What does “Top 10%” mean for living area and value?
It means this home outperforms 90% of comparable homes on the same street in those categories. On Jolliett Crescent, only two homes have a larger living area or higher assessed value. It’s a strong local position, though the gap narrows when compared citywide.

5. Does the 1968 build date mean it’s more modern inside?
Not necessarily. While 1968 is newer than most homes on the street (average is 1963), it’s still a 50+ year-old home. The build date suggests it may have original features from that era, but updates to systems, windows, and finishes would depend on the current owner. The year is a structural advantage, not a guarantee of modern interiors.
