491 Pritchard Avenue – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1,700 sqft home on a 3,548 sqft lot, built in 1951, with an assessed value of $213,000. The property outperforms most nearby homes in living space. On Pritchard Avenue, it ranks in the top 5% for living area (street average is 1,048 sqft), and it sits in the top 10% for the broader William Whyte neighbourhood. The lot size is around average for the street but above average for the area. The assessed value is above average both on the street and in the neighbourhood, though below the citywide median.

What stands out is the space. For a house built in 1951, the living area is notably large relative to its neighbours—suggesting either a well-planned original layout or thoughtful additions. The land area, while modest by city standards, is competitive locally. This creates a trade-off: you get more interior room than most homes around you, but not a sprawling yard.

The appeal lies in getting above-average square footage in a neighbourhood where many homes are smaller. That could matter for someone who wants room to spread out without paying for a bigger lot or a pricier area. The home’s assessed value is higher than the street and neighbourhood averages, but still well below the citywide figure—so property taxes and entry cost are likely manageable relative to the space you get.

This property would suit a buyer who prioritises interior living area over land size, and who is comfortable with an older home in a neighbourhood that isn’t among the city’s priciest. It may also appeal to someone who sees value in being one of the larger homes on the street—whether for family living, rental potential, or future renovations.


Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the living area compare to other homes in the area?
On Pritchard Avenue, this home is in the top 5% for living area. The street’s average is 1,048 sqft, so at 1,700 sqft, it’s about 62% larger than the typical home on the block. Within the William Whyte neighbourhood, it ranks in the top 10%.

2. Is the assessed value high for this neighbourhood?
Above average, but not extremely so. It ranks in the top 27% on the street and top 13% in the neighbourhood. Compared to the citywide average of $390,100, the $213,000 assessment is well below, which keeps it more affordable in a citywide sense.

3. What’s the land like—is the lot small?
The lot is 3,548 sqft. On the street, that’s around average, and in the neighbourhood it’s above average (top 22%). But citywide, it’s relatively small—in the bottom 20%—so you’re trading lot size for the larger house footprint.

4. How old is the house, and does that matter?
Built in 1951, which is newer than the average home on the street (1937) and in the neighbourhood (1927). It’s older than the citywide average (1966). An older home may require more maintenance, but this one is newer than many of its immediate neighbours.

5. How are the rankings calculated?
The rankings compare this property to “comparable homes” within each scope (street, neighbourhood, city). “Better” means larger living area, larger land area, newer year built, or higher assessed value. The bar fill shows how many peers you outperform, and the colour indicates the tier relative to the average.
