Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 2004-built home with 1,830 square feet of living space and an 8,043-square-foot lot. Its standout quality is how it stacks up against other homes at multiple levels. On its own street, it has the newest construction date and sits in the top quarter for assessed value. Within the Whyte Ridge neighbourhood, it’s in the top 9% for value and the top 13% for lot size. Citywide, its living area places it in the top 16%, while its assessed value reaches the top 8%.

The appeal here is threefold: a newer build in an established neighbourhood, a generous lot by any standard, and assessed value that signals strong relative desirability. It’s not the biggest house on the street, but it is one of the most recent and best-valued. That combination tends to attract buyers who want something move-in ready without paying a premium for maximum square footage. It would suit someone who prioritizes a newer home and a good-sized yard over sheer interior space, or a buyer who sees value in a property that ranks well both locally and citywide. Families looking for room to grow, or those trading up from a smaller home, would find the lot and build year appealing.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home compare to others on Breckenridge Close?
It’s the newest house on the street (built 2004) and ranks 4th out of 19 for assessed value. Its living area is slightly below the street average, while its lot size is above average. So it’s not the largest, but it’s one of the most recently built and higher-valued homes in the immediate area.

2. What does “assessed value” mean for a buyer?
Assessed value is used primarily for property tax calculations. A higher assessed value relative to neighbours suggests the home is considered more valuable by the municipality, which can translate to higher taxes. It also reflects how the property compares to others in terms of size, condition, and location. It’s not the same as market price, but it can be a useful benchmark.

3. Is a newer build always better in an older neighbourhood?
Not necessarily, but it often means fewer immediate repairs or updates. A 2004 home is old enough that some systems may need attention (roof, furnace, windows depending on original quality) but young enough that major structural issues are less common than in homes from the 1960s or 70s. In a neighbourhood like Whyte Ridge where the average home is from 1994, this house is newer than most, which can be a practical advantage.

4. Why does the lot size matter if the house isn’t the biggest?
A larger lot gives you more outdoor space, which can be hard to find in newer infill developments. It also offers flexibility for additions, landscaping, or simply having more privacy between neighbours. In Whyte Ridge, this lot is in the top 13%, meaning it stands out even among homes that already have decent-sized yards.

5. Who would this property not suit?
Buyers who need maximum interior square footage for the price might find better options elsewhere, since this home is slightly below the street average in living area. Likewise, someone looking for a fixer-upper or a lower tax bill might prefer an older, smaller home. This property is best for someone who values a newer home, a solid lot, and strong relative rankings without needing the biggest floor plan.
