Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 1,463 sqft home, built in 1983, presents a solid, grounded opportunity in Winnipeg's River Park South neighborhood. Its primary appeal lies in offering above-average space and a generous lot within a well-established, consistent streetscape. The living area is notably larger than most on Willowbend Crescent, and the 6,310 sqft lot size stands in the top 15% for the street, providing valuable outdoor space. Interestingly, while its assessed value of $395k is slightly below the street average, it sits just above the city-wide average for comparable homes, suggesting it may offer good relative value within its immediate context.
The home would suit practical buyers looking for a established neighborhood character without sacrificing interior and yard space. It’s particularly well-suited for those who value a larger property footprint and an older, potentially more mature streetscape—the 1983 build date is among the very newest on this block. This isn't a flashy, top-of-market property, but a steady performer that ranks as "around average" to "above average" in most metrics for its area, representing a reliable choice for long-term living.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to recent sales on the street?
Based on available data, the home last sold between $300k-$350k in September 2020. Its current assessed value of $395k is below the current street average of ~$411k, but direct comparison requires examining the exact sale prices and conditions of recent, truly comparable sales, which can be provided upon request.
2. Is the lot size a significant advantage?
Yes. The lot is over 6,300 sqft, which is approximately 1,000 sqft larger than the street average. This provides more private outdoor space than many neighboring properties, a tangible asset for gardening, recreation, or future expansion.
3. The home is described as "elite" for year built on the street. What does that mean?
It simply means it's one of the newer homes on Willowbend Crescent. With a 1983 build date, it ranks 3rd newest out of 84 comparable homes on the street. This can imply potentially newer infrastructure (like plumbing or electrical) compared to older neighbors, though a specific inspection is always needed.
4. The assessed value ranking seems low on the street but higher city-wide. Why?
This indicates that Willowbend Crescent is a street with relatively high property values overall. While this home's assessment is in the lower third for its own street, it still exceeds the average assessed value for similar homes across the entire City of Winnipeg. This highlights the importance of understanding both micro and macro market contexts.
5. How can I verify the exact historical sold price?
The public data shows a sold price range. To obtain the exact, verified sold price and full transaction history, you must request a manual lookup from the site provider, as this information is not sourced from or displayed via the MLS system due to industry regulations.
