32 Brodick Court – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Fit
This is a large single-family home in Winnipeg’s Whyte Ridge neighbourhood, built in 1991. With 2,805 square feet of living space on a 14,515-square-foot lot, it is significantly larger than most homes in the area. The assessed value sits at $660,000.
Where its appeal lies: The property ranks in the top 1% of homes citywide for both living area and land size. The lot is more than double the neighbourhood average, offering rare outdoor space for a mature suburban infill area. The home itself is newer than most on its street (ranked 1st of 8) and stands out for sheer square footage relative to similarly aged homes in Whyte Ridge. The assessed value, while above average in the neighbourhood, is not dramatically out of step—meaning buyers get unusually large space and land without paying a premium that matches the size advantage.
What type of buyer it suits: Families who need generous indoor and outdoor room—especially those wanting a large yard in an established neighbourhood without moving to a newer, more distant subdivision. It also suits buyers who prioritize space per dollar over modern finishes or a recent renovation. The 1991 build means systems and structure are likely sound, but finishes may be original; this property would appeal to someone with the budget and interest to update over time rather than buy a fully finished home.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the assessed value compare to what I’d actually pay?
Assessed value is a benchmark used for property taxes, not market price. In Whyte Ridge, homes in the top 5% of assessed value often sell above assessment, especially when land and living area are well above average. Expect the market price to reflect the premium for a larger lot and square footage, not just the assessed figure.
2. Is the neighbourhood good for resale?
Whyte Ridge is a well-established area with consistent demand. The property’s top-1% land size within the neighbourhood is a genuine rarity—homes with this much lot space rarely come up. That scarcity can hold value well, but resale may take longer if the home’s interior needs significant updating compared to neighbouring homes that have been renovated.
3. What should I look for in a 1991 home?
By now, original mechanicals like the furnace, roof, and windows may have been replaced—or may be due. Ask about the age of the major systems. A 30+ year old home also often has original plumbing and electrical that are safe but not modernized; check for any knob-and-tube wiring or galvanized pipes. The larger lot likely means mature trees—inspect drainage and foundation for any past water issues.
4. How does the living area compare to other homes for sale right now?
At 2,805 square feet, this home is in the top 1% of all homes citywide. Most detached homes in Winnipeg average around 1,300–1,700 square feet. Even within Whyte Ridge, where homes are generally larger than the city average, this is roughly 500–700 square feet bigger than a typical home in the area.
5. Is the property in a floodplain or prone to water issues?
No information on floodplain status is provided here. Given the large lot and 1991 construction, it’s worth confirming during a home inspection—especially the grading around the foundation, the age of the weeping tile, and whether a sump pump is installed. Larger lots in mature neighbourhoods can have poor drainage if not properly maintained.
