55 Golis Bay

Property Overview: 55 Golis Bay, Grassie, Winnipeg

Section 1: Key Characteristics & Appeal

This two-storey home in Grassie presents a compelling blend of modern comfort and established value. Built in 2011, it is a notably newer property within its immediate area, offering the benefits of contemporary construction standards without the premium of a brand-new build. With over 2,000 sqft of living space, the home provides ample room for families and is positioned in the top quarter of homes on its street for size. A key feature is the renovated basement, which adds valuable finished space and flexibility. The attached garage and a standard residential lot round out the practical offerings.

The appeal lies in its strong positional metrics. The home consistently ranks above average—and often in the top 10-20%—for living area, assessed value, and year built when compared to its neighbourhood and the wider city. This suggests a well-regarded property in a stable area. It suits buyers looking for a move-in ready, spacious family home that is newer than most in the community, without venturing into a brand-new subdivision. It’s a solid choice for those who value a renovated basement for extra living space, a home office, or a recreation room, and who appreciate a property that has historically held its value well against local benchmarks.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the assessed value relate to the likely selling price?
The assessed value is for municipal tax purposes. The last recorded sale in late 2022 was in the $58,500 - $61,500 range, closely aligned with the current assessed value of $58,200k. However, the final market price is determined by current conditions, buyer demand, and the specific features of the home.

2. Is the lot size a disadvantage?
At just over 5,300 sqft, the lot is slightly smaller than the average for both Grassie and Winnipeg. For buyers prioritizing low-maintenance outdoor space or who value interior square footage over yard size, this is a reasonable trade-off. It’s typical for newer homes on its street.

3. What does the "top percentage" ranking actually mean?
These rankings show how this property compares to similar homes in three circles: its immediate street, the Grassie neighbourhood, and all of Winnipeg. For example, being in the "Top 9%" city-wide for living area means over 91% of comparable Winnipeg homes are smaller. It’s a quick way to gauge the home’s relative standing.

4. The home sold recently in 2022. What should I consider?
A sale just a few years ago indicates a motivated seller at that time, but it also provides a very recent and reliable price point for comparison. It’s worthwhile to investigate what, if any, updates were made by the current owners since that purchase.

5. How can I find out the exact historical sold prices?
The listing service provides sold price ranges based on public data. To obtain the exact sale figures, you must request them directly via the email link provided on the detail page. This is a common practice to ensure data accuracy and compliance.
