Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1,310 sqft home built in 1967 on a 5,798 sqft lot in Westdale. Its standout feature is size. Within the immediate neighbourhood, the living area ranks in the top 5%, and the assessed value sits in the top 7%—meaning it’s one of the larger, more valuable homes on the block. On a city-wide scale, both its size and assessed value land right around the Winnipeg average, so it’s not an outlier in the broader market. The house is older than most nearby homes (built before the neighbourhood’s 1971 average), but the lot size is in line with the area. The appeal is in getting above-average interior space in a good local pocket without paying a premium relative to the whole city. This would suit buyers who care more about square footage and established streets than a brand-new build, and who want a home that stands out in its immediate surroundings without being overpriced for the region. It’s a practical fit for someone who values local dominance in size and value, but isn’t chasing the newest finishes or a large yard.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does this home compare to others on the same street?
It ranks in the top 8% for assessed value and top 11% for living area on Hammond Road. So it’s noticeably larger and valued higher than most direct neighbours, where the average home is around 1,050 sqft with a $337,000 assessment.
2. Is the property overvalued compared to the rest of Winnipeg?
No. The assessed value ($391,000) is very close to the city-wide average of $390,000. The home itself is also near the average city size (1,342 sqft). Locally it commands a premium, but relative to the broader market it’s priced right in line.
3. The house was built in 1967. Is that a concern?
It depends on your perspective. The home is older than the Westdale average (1971), but right around the city average (1966). Some buyers prefer the construction quality or character of 1960s homes, while others may want to budget for updates to systems or layout. It’s not unusually old, but it’s not a newer build either.
4. How does the lot size compare?
The lot is slightly below the average for the street (6,075 sqft) and city (6,570 sqft), but slightly above the Westdale average (5,168 sqft). So you’ve got a typical suburban lot in this neighbourhood—enough yard for most uses, but not oversized.
5. Why does the assessed value rank high locally but average city-wide?
This happens when a strong local pocket (Westdale) has lower average values than the city overall. Your home is one of the more valuable properties within that lower-priced area, but when compared city-wide, it simply hits the middle of the pack. It means you’re getting relative local status without paying a city-wide premium.
