Property Overview
This two-storey home at 136 Jack Reimer Drive in Winnipeg's Fraipont neighbourhood presents a practical, modern living option. Built in 2020, it offers the key advantage of being a relatively new construction, which typically means fewer immediate maintenance concerns and modern building standards. With 1,571 sqft of living space, an attached garage, and a standard basement that hasn't been renovated, it fits the profile of a solid, move-in-ready family home.
Key Characteristics & Appeal
The primary appeal of this property lies in its balance of space, age, and value within the broader Winnipeg market. While its size and assessed value are fairly typical for its immediate street and the Fraipont area, it stands out significantly when viewed city-wide. Compared to the much older Winnipeg average home (built in 1966), this 2020 build is in the top 3% for its newness, offering a notable advantage in terms of contemporary layout and systems. The living area is also above the city average.
Its assessed value is positioned above average for Winnipeg, yet it sits below the average for its own street. This creates an interesting dynamic: you're acquiring a newer home that holds strong city-wide value, within a neighbourhood where comparable properties are often valued higher. This could appeal to value-conscious buyers looking for a modern home in a developing area, who are willing to invest in a property that may have room to grow into the local market norms. It would suit first-time buyers or young families seeking a low-maintenance, modern home without the premium often attached to brand-new builds, and who prioritize interior space and contemporary features over a large lot.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the basement finished?
No, the basement is not renovated. This presents a blank canvas for future expansion or storage, but would require investment to develop into living space.
2. How does this home compare to others on the street?
The data indicates this home has a slightly smaller living area and a lower assessed value than the average on Jack Reimer Drive. However, it is newer than most on the street (ranked 4th newest out of 19). This suggests you may be getting a more modern home at a value relative to its neighbours.
3. What are the property taxes likely to be?
Property taxes are calculated based on the assessed value and the municipal tax rate. With an assessed value of $48.20k, you can use the current City of Winnipeg tax rate to estimate your annual taxes. It's advisable to confirm this calculation for budgeting.
4. The sold price history shows a range from 2020. What does that mean?
The listed range (e.g., $39.50k ~ $42.50k for 12/2020) is based on public data estimates. To obtain the exact historical sale price for this property, you need to request it directly from the listing source, as noted on the detail page.
5. How does the lot size compare?
The land area is 4,361 sqft, which is fairly standard for the Fraipont area but smaller than the city-wide average lot. This is typical for newer subdivisions and means less yard maintenance, but may offer less private outdoor space than older neighbourhoods.
