439 Burrows Avenue – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This 1,544 sqft home, built in 1914, sits on a 3,267 sqft lot in Winnipeg’s William Whyte neighbourhood. Its standout feature is living space: the house is larger than 87% of homes on Burrows Avenue, 86% of homes in the immediate area, and 72% of comparable properties citywide. Where many older homes in this price range feel cramped, this one offers genuine room to spread out.

The assessed value is $134,000—well below the street average of $227,300 and the citywide average of $390,100. This creates a meaningful gap between what you pay and what you get in square footage. Within the neighbourhood, the value sits right around the local average of $149,100, suggesting the pricing is in step with the area despite the extra space.

The land area is close to typical for the street and neighbourhood, but well below citywide averages—a reminder that lots in older, inner-city areas tend to be more compact. The home’s age (1914) puts it among the older properties on the street and in the city, but not unusually so within William Whyte, where the average build year is 1927.

Who it suits: Buyers who prioritize interior square footage over lot size or modern construction. It’s a good fit for someone looking for a larger older home without paying a premium for a renovated or newer build—and who is comfortable with the character and maintenance that comes with a century-old house. First-time buyers or investors focused on square-foot value may find the price-to-space ratio compelling.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
The home is assessed at $134,000, which is about 10% below the neighbourhood average of $149,100. On the street itself, it ranks in the bottom 20% for value—but that’s partly because the street includes several larger or more updated homes with much higher assessments. Within William Whyte, the value is essentially average.

2. Is a 1914 home likely to have original features or need major updates?
It varies widely, but homes from this era often have solid framing, hardwood floors, and plaster walls. They also tend to need updated electrical, plumbing, and insulation. The age alone doesn’t tell you the condition—checking for knob-and-tube wiring, lead pipes, and foundation condition is essential.

3. Why is the lot considered “below average” citywide but average locally?
Citywide averages include newer suburban homes on large lots, often 5,000–7,000 sqft or more. In older Winnipeg neighbourhoods like William Whyte, 3,200–3,500 sqft lots are standard. The lot here is typical for the area, just not for the city as a whole.

4. How does the living area compare to other homes in this price range?
At 1,544 sqft with a $134,000 assessment, this home offers roughly 87 sqft per $1,000 of assessed value. The citywide average is about 3.4 sqft per $1,000. Even accounting for the fact that assessed value isn’t market price, the space-to-cost ratio here is significantly higher than most Winnipeg homes.

5. What does “Top 13% on the street” actually mean for resale?
It means this is one of the largest homes on Burrows Avenue. If comparable homes on the street sell for similar prices regardless of size, the extra square footage could be an advantage. However, if buyers in this area prioritize location or lot size over interior space, the premium for square footage may be limited. It’s worth looking at recent sales of similarly sized homes in the neighbourhood, not just on the street.
