Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the recent sale price compare to the assessed value?
The home sold for $751,000 in July 2024, which is approximately 12% above its current assessed value of $672,000. This is a strong indicator of its market value and desirability, often reflecting updates, condition, and current market conditions not fully captured in the assessment.
2. What does the "ranking" data actually tell me?
The percentile rankings show how this property compares to others. For example, being "better than 95% in same street" for year built means it's one of the newest homes on the block. These metrics help quantify its relative standing in terms of lot size, living space, and value against immediate neighbours and the wider city.
3. Is the basement renovation permitted?
This information is not provided in the available data. A key due diligence step for any buyer would be to verify with the seller or the city that any renovations to the basement were completed with the proper permits and inspections.
4. Bridgwater Lakes is a newer area; what are the amenities like?
As a modern, master-planned community, Bridgwater Lakes typically features parks, pathways, and nearby retail plazas. Prospective buyers should explore the area to confirm the proximity of schools, shopping, and public transit to meet their specific daily needs.
5. The lot is larger than many in Winnipeg; what are the implications?
A 5,431 sqft lot offers more outdoor space for gardening, play, or entertaining than many newer properties. It also may provide a greater sense of privacy. However, it also implies a corresponding responsibility for maintenance, landscaping, and snow clearing.
