1073 Scurfield Boulevard – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 1991-built home in Whyte Ridge offers 1,546 square feet of living space on a 6,842-square-foot lot. Its strongest feature is the lot size: it ranks in the top 12% on the street and top 18% citywide, meaning the yard is notably larger than typical for the area. The assessed value of $512,000 places it around average for the street and neighbourhood, but well above the citywide average for comparable homes—reflecting both the larger lot and the relative desirability of the area.

The living area itself is slightly below the street average but slightly above the citywide average, so it’s not a cramped home, just modest compared to newer or larger neighbours on the same block. The year built (1991) is older than the street average by about five years, but still newer than most homes across Winnipeg.

The appeal lies in the land. A buyer who values outdoor space, gardening, or room for future additions will find this lot a rare opportunity in an established neighbourhood. The house itself is functional and well-located, but not oversized. It suits someone willing to invest in updates (given the 1991 build) in exchange for a generous, private-feeling property in Whyte Ridge. It’s less suited to buyers seeking maximum square footage per dollar, or a move-in-ready, recently constructed home.

Five Frequently Asked Questions

How does this home’s lot compare to others in Whyte Ridge?
Very favourably. The lot is 6,842 sqft, ranking in the top 22% of the neighbourhood. That’s about 11% larger than the Whyte Ridge average of 6,175 sqft. On this street, it’s even more exceptional—the top 12%.

Is the assessed value a reliable guide to market price?
Assessed value gives a good baseline, especially for comparing relative standing within the city (top 18% citywide). However, it’s not a direct prediction of sale price. Unique features like the larger lot, or deferred maintenance, won’t be fully reflected in assessment data.

Is the 1991 build a concern?
Not necessarily a concern, but worth considering. Most homes on the street are newer (average 1996), so this one is roughly 5 years older than its immediate neighbours. Citywide, however, it’s much newer than the 1966 average. Key systems like windows, roof, and HVAC may be due for replacement; a home inspection should clarify the actual condition.

How does living area compare to what’s typical for the money?
Citywide, the home’s 1,546 sqft is larger than the average comparable (1,342 sqft), while its assessed value is significantly above average. This suggests you’re paying a premium for location and land, not for interior space. If square footage alone drives your budget, there are likely larger homes for less money elsewhere.

What does the “top X%” ranking actually mean?
It means this home outperforms that percentage of comparable homes in each category. For example, “top 12% for land area on the street” means only 11% of homes on Scurfield Boulevard have larger lots. Rankings are based on a city database of similar properties, using the city’s own comparable home groups. The “Avg” shown is a rough median for that group.
