Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a relatively new home in an older, established neighbourhood. Built in 2016, it’s one of the newest properties on its street and within William Whyte, where the average home was built in the 1940s. That newness is the property’s strongest asset—it offers modern construction and systems without the compromises of a full renovation.

The living area is 1,004 square feet. That’s slightly below the street and neighbourhood averages, and noticeably smaller than the citywide median for comparable homes. It’s a compact, functional layout rather than a spacious one. The land area is similar: 3,004 square feet, which is in line with the immediate area but well below typical Winnipeg lot sizes. You’re not buying this property for square footage or a large yard.

Where it stands out is assessed value. At $303,000, it’s well above the neighbourhood average of $149,100 and ranks in the top 2% locally. On its own street, it’s in the top quarter. That likely reflects the quality of a newer build in an area where most housing stock is much older and less updated. Citywide, the $303k figure is around average for comparable homes, suggesting the property is priced realistically relative to the broader market.

Who it suits: Buyers who value a move-in-ready, low-maintenance home in a central Winnipeg neighbourhood with older character and more modest price points than fully gentrified areas. This is not for someone chasing maximum space per dollar or a large lot. It’s a pragmatic choice for a first-time buyer, a downsizer who wants single-floor living, or an investor looking for a newer asset in a neighbourhood with upside. The trade-off is clear: you get modern bones and lower upkeep, but you’re paying a premium relative to the immediate neighbours.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the property’s size compare to typical homes in the area?
The living area and lot size are both close to the average for the street and neighbourhood. They are below the citywide median, especially for land. This is a compact urban property, not a spacious suburban one.

2. Does the high assessed value relative to the neighbourhood mean the property is overpriced?
Not necessarily. The assessed value reflects the newer construction—built in 2016 versus the neighbourhood average of 1927. You’re paying a premium for a home that doesn’t require immediate updates or structural work. Citywide, the assessment is on par with the median for comparable homes, which suggests the pricing is in line with the broader market.

3. What are the main advantages of a 2016 build in an older neighbourhood?
You avoid the common issues of older homes: outdated electrical, plumbing, insulation, and foundation concerns. Energy efficiency, building code compliance, and modern materials are typically better. The downside is that you may pay more upfront than for an older house that needs work.

4. The land area is below the citywide average. Should that be a concern?
It depends on your priorities. If you want a large garden, space for extensions, or room for vehicles and storage, this lot will feel tight. If you value lower yard maintenance and a more walkable urban layout, a 3,000-square-foot lot is typical for the area and perfectly functional.

5. How does this property fit into the William Whyte neighbourhood’s long-term outlook?
William Whyte is a central Winnipeg area with older housing stock and a mix of owner-occupied and rental properties. A newer, well-maintained home like this one is a relative anomaly. That can be an advantage if the neighbourhood continues to see investment and renewal, but it also means you’re not buying into a fully established, high-demand market. The property’s value is more tied to its own condition than to the surrounding area’s reputation.
