Property Overview & Key Characteristics
This home at 427 Morley Avenue in Lord Roberts stands out for its modern build and above-average space. Built in 2015, it is newer than 96% of homes on its street and in the neighbourhood—a rare find in an established area. With 1,372 sqft of living space, it offers more room than most comparable local homes. Its assessed value of $450k places it in the top tier for the immediate area, suggesting a premium for its condition and age.
The appeal lies in acquiring a relatively new, low-maintenance property without sacrificing the character and convenience of a mature neighbourhood like Lord Roberts. It suits buyers who want modern construction but prefer a settled community over a new subdivision. A thoughtful perspective: while the lot size is average for the street, it is significantly smaller than the Winnipeg average. This indicates a focus on the home itself rather than outdoor space, ideal for those seeking a manageable yard.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the sold price history relate to the current assessed value?
The home sold for an estimated $350k–$400k in 2021. The current $450k assessment reflects market growth and is used for tax purposes; it is not a direct indicator of future sale price.
2. What does the "below average" city-wide lot size ranking mean?
While the lot is a typical size for Lord Roberts, it is smaller than most single-family lots across Winnipeg. This is common for inner-city neighbourhoods and means less yard maintenance but also less private outdoor space.
3. Why is the year built such a standout feature?
A 2015 build is exceptional for this area, where most homes are decades older. This typically translates to modern building standards, energy efficiency, and fewer immediate major repair concerns compared to heritage properties.
4. Who would this property not suit as well?
Buyers seeking a large garden, extensive outdoor space, or a character home with heritage details may find the lot size modest and the modern architecture less appealing.
5. How can I get the exact past sale price?
