This is a 2,136 sqft home on a 3,487 sqft lot, built in 1907 and currently assessed at $179,000. Its standout feature is living space: on its own street (Selkirk Avenue), it ranks in the top 2 percent for size—nearly double the street average of 1,093 sqft. Within the William Whyte neighbourhood, it sits in the top 3 percent, and citywide in Winnipeg, it lands in the top 8 percent. That kind of interior square footage is uncommon in this area, especially for the price point.
The assessed value tells a different story. At $179,000, the home is essentially average for Selkirk Avenue (top 52 percent) but well above the neighbourhood average of $149,100—reflecting that extra living area. Citywide, it falls far below the median ($390,100), which makes sense given the older housing stock and more modest land sizes in this part of town.
The land itself is 3,487 sqft: typical for the street, slightly above the neighbourhood norm, but small by citywide standards (top 81 percent). The 1907 build date means it’s older than most homes on the street (average 1938) and considerably older than the citywide average (1966). That said, within William Whyte, it’s not unusual—the neighbourhood average is 1927.
Who this suits: A buyer who prioritizes indoor space over lot size or a brand-new build, and who is comfortable with an older home that likely needs updates or maintenance. It’s a strong candidate for someone looking to get more square footage per dollar in a central Winnipeg neighbourhood where values are lower than citywide averages. Investors or first-time buyers willing to take on some renovation work could find good value here. It would not suit someone seeking a large yard, a move-in-ready modern finish, or a location with high citywide resale comparables.
1. How does this property’s living area compare to typical homes in Winnipeg?
It’s in the top 8 percent citywide for comparable homes, with 2,136 sqft versus the city median of 1,342 sqft. On its own street, it’s even more exceptional—ranking in the top 2 percent.
2. Is the assessed value of $179,000 a good deal for this home?
That depends on your perspective. It’s above the neighbourhood average of $149,100 (top 26 percent), so you’re paying a premium for the larger living area within William Whyte. But citywide, it’s well below the median of $390,100. The value is relative to the local market, not the city as a whole.
3. What should I expect from a home built in 1907?
Older construction often means solid framing and character details, but also outdated systems (electrical, plumbing, insulation) and potential issues like lead paint or asbestos. It’s worth budgeting for a thorough inspection and likely upgrades. The age is typical for the neighbourhood (average 1927) but older than most Winnipeg homes.
4. How does the land size affect usability?
At 3,487 sqft, the lot is slightly smaller than the street average (3,730 sqft) but larger than the neighbourhood average (3,277 sqft). It’s modest by city standards—most Winnipeg homes sit on 6,570 sqft lots. Expect a manageable yard but not expansive outdoor space.
5. What does “rank by land area, larger = better rank” mean in practice?
The ranking system compares this property’s land size to similar homes at the street, neighbourhood, and city levels. A larger lot gets a higher (better) rank. Here, the land is around average on the street and neighbourhood levels, but below average citywide—meaning most Winnipeg homes have bigger lots. If you value a large yard, this won’t be competitive.
