806 Inkster Boulevard

Property Overview: 806 Inkster Boulevard, Winnipeg

Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home presents a practical and affordable entry point into Winnipeg’s Robertson neighborhood. Its key characteristic is a clear value proposition: you are purchasing a newer home relative to its immediate area. Built in 1960, it is significantly newer than most homes on its street and in Robertson, which generally date to the 1930s and 1940s. This often suggests updated core systems and potentially less immediate maintenance.

The appeal lies in its financial accessibility. With a living area of 786 sq ft, it is a compact bungalow, placing it below average in size for the street, neighborhood, and city. This translates to a correspondingly lower assessed value ($271,000), which is around average for the local area but well below the Winnipeg citywide average. The lot is also modestly sized at 3,390 sq ft. This profile suits first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a lower-priced, manageable property where the investment is primarily in the land and location rather than square footage. It’s a home for those comfortable with efficient living spaces, who value being in the market over size, and who may see potential in a property that stands out for its age in an older, established community.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the home’s below-average size a major drawback?
Not necessarily. While the living space is compact, it results in a more affordable price point and lower utility costs. It appeals to buyers seeking simplicity and efficiency.

2. What does the "Elite" ranking for year built actually mean?
It means this home is among the newest 3-4% of comparable properties in its immediate area. On a street where the average home was built in 1937, a 1960 build date is a notable advantage, potentially indicating more modern wiring, plumbing, or insulation.

3. How reliable is the sold price data shown?
The site provides a sold price range from 2016 ($150k-$200k) but notes it is not MLS data and is presented as a reasonably reliable estimate. For fully verified, exact historical sale figures, you must request a manual lookup from the site via email.

4. How does the assessed value compare to likely market value?
Assessed value is for municipal tax purposes and is often close to, but not a definitive statement of, market value. At $271k, it is aligned with the neighborhood average but well below the city average, reflecting the home’s smaller size and local market conditions.

5. What is the immediate neighborhood like for similar homes?
The provided comparable listings on nearby streets (like Lansdowne Avenue) show homes with similar assessed values but significantly more living area (1,400+ sq ft), though they are also a decade older. This highlights the trade-off: here, you are getting a newer home but with less interior space for a similar price.
