90 Sawka Bay

Property Overview: 90 Sawka Bay, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This is a modern, low-maintenance home built in 2022, offering a move-in-ready experience in Winnipeg's North Inkster Industrial area. With 1,472 sqft of living space, it provides efficient, contemporary living without the concerns of an older property. Its assessed value of $431k positions it as an above-average home on its own street, suggesting better finishes or condition than many immediate neighbors.

The primary appeal lies in its newness and its position within a developing context. While the lot size is compact compared to the city-wide average, this translates to less yard upkeep. The home’s value and build year rank significantly higher than most of Winnipeg's aging housing stock, offering modern efficiency systems and warranties that are rare city-wide. It suits first-time buyers or professionals seeking a modern home without renovation projects, and investors looking for a newer property with potentially lower immediate maintenance costs. A thoughtful perspective is that this property represents a trade-off: you gain a modern, efficient build but on a smaller, more urban lot, making it ideal for those prioritizing the home itself over outdoor space.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this home compare to others in the area?
The home is newer than most in its immediate area and on its street, ranking in the top 21% for year built in North Inkster Industrial. Its assessed value is around the neighborhood average but is above average for Sawka Bay specifically, indicating it may be a standout property on its block.

2. What does the sold price history indicate?
The property sold twice in 2022. The price increased from the $350k-$400k range in June to the $400k-$450k range in October, reflecting a rising market and possibly upgrades or a quick resale. For exact historical sold prices, a manual lookup request is required.

3. Is the lot size a concern?
The lot of 2,944 sqft is smaller than the average Winnipeg lot but is fairly typical for its specific street and general area. It suits buyers who prefer minimal yard maintenance. Those seeking extensive outdoor space or privacy may find it limiting.

4. What are the ongoing costs likely to be?
As a near-new build (2022), major systems like roofing, HVAC, and appliances should have considerable life remaining, potentially reducing near-term capital repair budgets compared to an older home. Property taxes will be based on the $431k assessed value.

5. How current is this data and how can I verify it?
The core data (living area, assessed value, year built) is from the property assessment roll. Sold price data is from public records (non-MLS) from 2016-2025. For fully verified transaction histories and exact sold prices, you must request a manual lookup via email, as MLS data is not displayed on the site.
