Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the lot size impact the property?
The lot is more compact than many on the street and in the neighbourhood. This typically translates to less yard maintenance, which can be a benefit, but may limit extensive outdoor additions like large decks or pools.
2. What does the "Elite" ranking for year built mean?
Ranking in the top 5% in Meadows for year built confirms this is one of the newest homes in the area. This often suggests updated building standards, newer major systems (like HVAC or roofing), and potentially less immediate need for major renovations.
3. Is the assessed value a reliable indicator of the selling price?
The assessed value is for municipal tax purposes and is one data point. The last known sold price range was between $350k-$400k in 2020. Market conditions, property updates, and buyer demand will determine the final sale price.
4. How does the living area compare to nearby similar homes?
This home offers more interior space than the average home on its street, in Meadows, and across Winnipeg. For example, it has about 190 sqft more than the average Meadows home, which is a significant difference, often equating to an extra room or larger primary spaces.
