This is a 1905 starter home near Magnus Avenue in Winnipeg’s William Whyte neighbourhood, with 684 square feet of living space on a 3,568-square-foot lot. The property is older than most comparable homes on its street, in its community, and across the city—placing it in the oldest few percent citywide. Its assessed value of $96,000 is similarly low relative to local and city averages, reflecting both the home’s age and its compact size.
The main appeal is affordability, especially the land-to-price ratio. The lot is larger than typical for the neighbourhood (top 15% in William Whyte) despite the home itself being small. For a buyer who values outdoor space or future potential—such as a garden, workshop, or expansion—this property offers a rare combination of a low entry price and a generous yard. It suits first-time buyers with limited budgets, investors looking for a low-cost renovation project, or anyone prioritizing land over square footage in an older, established part of town. The drawbacks are clear: you’re buying a small, old structure in a lower-value area, and comparables suggest limited upside without significant work.
1. How does this home compare to others on the same street?
It’s among the smallest and oldest on Magnus Avenue. Living space ranks 543rd out of 608 homes, and the assessed value is similarly low. However, the lot size is about average for the street, which is unusual for a home this age and size.
2. Is the low assessed value a good thing or a red flag?
It depends on your goals. A low assessment means low property taxes, which keeps monthly costs down. But it also reflects the home’s condition and desirability relative to the market. If you’re looking for a cheap place to live with minimal overhead, it’s a positive. If you’re expecting quick appreciation, it’s less promising.
3. What’s the land really worth here?
The lot is 3,568 square feet—larger than most in the neighbourhood (top 15%) but still below the citywide average. In a market where land is increasingly valuable, this could be the asset that holds or grows in value over time, especially if the neighbourhood sees reinvestment.
4. How old is “too old” for a house like this?
Built in 1905, this home will likely need attention to foundational, electrical, and plumbing systems. A home this old isn’t automatically a problem if it’s been maintained, but you should expect some updating. It’s worth getting a thorough inspection focused on knob-and-tube wiring, lead pipes, and the condition of the original structure.
5. Who is this property not for?
It’s not for buyers who want turnkey condition, modern layouts, or a home that will resell easily in the near term. It’s also not ideal for anyone who needs more than about 700 square feet of indoor space unless they’re planning to add on. If you need financing, some lenders may also be cautious with very old, low-value properties.
