Property Overview

The home last sold in the 2021-2022 period for an estimated $500k-$550k and currently holds an assessed value of $55,500. Its appeal lies in its position within a desirable, mature area, offering a balance of space and location that stands out differently depending on the scale of comparison—it feels more spacious than the average city home, yet is a more modestly sized offering on its own street.
Key Characteristics & Suitability
This property presents a specific value proposition. Within the immediate Avon Gate street, it is one of the older homes (top 8%), suggesting a more established lot with mature landscaping, but with a living area and lot size that are below the street's average. This indicates it might be a more manageable property on a street of larger homes. Zooming out to all of Linden Woods, its assessed value is notably below the neighbourhood average (top 84%), which could signal an opportunity for a buyer looking to enter this area at a relatively accessible point, possibly with plans to update. City-wide, however, its living area and assessed value rank well above average, highlighting that it offers more space and value than a typical Winnipeg home.
Its appeal is for the practical buyer seeking a solid foundation in a premium neighbourhood. It would suit a young family or downsizers who prioritize location and community over having the largest house on the block, and who may see potential in a home that is older than many on its street. It’s a home for those who understand value through the lens of neighbourhood prestige and lot maturity, rather than sheer square footage.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this a good value for Linden Woods?
The data suggests it is. With an assessed value ranking in the top 84% for the neighbourhood (meaning it's lower than 84% of homes), it presents a below-average entry point into Linden Woods, which is often considered a premium area.
2. How does the home's size compare?
It's a study in perspective. At 1,750 sqft, it's larger than the average Winnipeg home, but slightly smaller than the average for both Linden Woods and for Avon Gate itself. This makes it a comfortable size, but not the largest offering in the immediate area.
3. What does the year built (1986) indicate?
Built in 1986, this home is older than 92% of the homes on Avon Gate. This can mean more mature trees and a settled streetscape, but it also suggests that interior updates or systems replacements (like roof, windows) may be a consideration compared to newer builds.
4. Why is the assessed value so different from the last sold price?
The assessed value for taxation ($55,500) is not a market valuation. The last sold price range ($500k-$550k in 2021) reflects the actual market value at that time. Always rely on a current market appraisal or comparative market analysis for today's value.
5. How can I get the exact historical sold price?
The exact sale price is not publicly displayed. As noted on the listing, you can request it by email from the service. They provide the accurate figure manually, typically by the end of the same business day.
