36 Purcell Avenue – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This 1912 home in Winnipeg’s Wolseley neighbourhood offers 2,125 square feet of living space on a 3,396-square-foot lot. Its assessed value is $459,000.

What stands out most is the living area. The home ranks in the top 8% citywide for square footage – notably large compared to most Winnipeg homes, which average 1,342 square feet. On its own street, it’s in the top half for size, and in the Wolseley area, it’s in the top 15%. The assessed value tells a similar story: above average on the street (top 17%) and in the neighbourhood (top 16%), but only in the top 27% citywide, meaning the price is competitive for its size.

The lot, however, is modest. At 3,396 square feet, it’s average for Purcell Avenue and Wolseley, but well below the citywide average of 6,570 square feet. The home’s age (1912) is typical for the street (where many homes date to 1910) but older than much of Winnipeg’s housing stock.

Appeal & Who It Suits: The property offers substantial interior space without requiring a large yard – a trade-off that appeals to people who prioritize room inside over outdoor area. It would suit a buyer who values original character (a 1912 home in a historic neighbourhood) and wants more square footage than most comparable city homes. It’s less suited to someone seeking a large private lot or a newer, lower-maintenance build. The assessment data suggests the home is priced fairly relative to its neighbourhood, making it a pragmatic choice for those who want size and location, not a fixer-upper with land.


Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
The assessed value of $459,000 is above the Wolseley neighbourhood average of $371,300 (top 16%). On Purcell Avenue specifically, it ranks 4th out of 24 homes (top 17%). It’s also above the citywide average of $390,100, but only in the top 27% – meaning it’s not an outlier for its size.

2. Is the lot size considered small for the area?
The 3,396 sqft lot is typical for Purcell Avenue (average 3,423 sqft) and Wolseley (average 3,434 sqft). It is, however, well below the Winnipeg citywide average of 6,570 sqft, because many city lots are larger overall. This lot is normal for the street, but small by broader city standards.

3. What does “top 8%” for living area actually mean citywide?
Out of 194,458 comparable Winnipeg homes, this property’s 2,125 sqft ranks 15,491st – meaning it’s bigger than 92% of them. The citywide average for comparable homes is just 1,342 sqft, so this home has about 60% more living space than average.

4. How old is the house, and is that a concern?
Built in 1912, it’s older than most in the city (top 92% of homes are newer). But on Purcell Avenue, it’s actually slightly newer than the street average of 1910 (top 8%). Many houses in Wolseley are from that era (neighbourhood average 1916), so the age is consistent with the area. It’s worth noting that older homes often have different maintenance considerations, but the data doesn’t speak to condition.

5. What does the “rankings and bars” section indicate?
The bar charts compare this property to others on its street, in Wolseley, and citywide. A longer fill means it outperforms more comparable homes in that category. For living area and assessed value, this home ranks well; for lot size, it’s average locally but below the city median. The gradient (red to yellow to blue) and tick marks just show where it falls relative to the group.
