480 Scurfield Boulevard – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This home is a 1995 build in Winnipeg’s Whyte Ridge neighbourhood, with 1,928 square feet of living space on a 5,306-square-foot lot. Its assessed value is $553,000.
The property stands out most for its size and value relative to benchmarks. The living area ranks in the top 13% citywide and top 22% within Whyte Ridge, meaning it offers noticeably more interior space than most comparable homes. The assessed value follows a similar pattern—top 12% citywide—which reflects strong desirability for that square footage in this area. The land itself is average for the neighbourhood, so the value is concentrated in the house rather than the lot.
The year built (1995) is also average within Whyte Ridge, but well above the citywide median of 1966. That means the home is newer than a large share of Winnipeg’s housing stock, which typically means fewer major updates required in the near term.
Where this may not appeal: buyers looking for a large yard will find the lot unremarkable. And while the home ranks well locally, it’s not at the top of the street for assessed value or size—it’s solidly above average, not exceptional.
Best suited for: A buyer who prioritizes interior square footage and a home that won’t require immediate major renovation, in an established suburban neighbourhood. It may particularly appeal to someone moving up from a smaller home who wants more space without jumping to a premium lot size or a newer build premium.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home compare to others on Scurfield Boulevard specifically?
It ranks in the top 28% for both living area and assessed value on this street. The average home on Scurfield is 1,750 sqft with an assessed value around $534k, so this property is larger and valued higher than most of its immediate neighbours, but not at the extreme top end.
2. Is the lot size a concern?
The land is 5,306 sqft, which is slightly below the street average (5,755 sqft) and neighbourhood average (6,175 sqft). It’s not small, but it’s also not generous for Whyte Ridge. If a large backyard or side yard is a priority, this would be a compromise.
3. What does the assessed value of $553k actually mean for buying?
Assessed value is a city estimate and not necessarily the sale price. It does, however, reflect how the property compares to others. A top-12% citywide ranking suggests strong underlying value, but buyers should still expect a competitive price given its above-average size.
4. How much renovation or updating might a 1995 home need?
1995-built homes are roughly 30 years old. Major systems (roof, furnace, windows) may be original or near end-of-life, though not necessarily urgent. The age is typical for the neighbourhood, so comparable homes will have similar considerations. A home inspection is advisable, but this is not an unusually old property for Winnipeg.
5. Does the neighbourhood analysis page provide specific lot or street-level comparisons?
Yes. There’s an interactive map and neighbourhood analysis page mentioned in the listing data. It allows side-by-side comparison of individual houses on Scurfield Boulevard and nearby streets—useful for checking exact year built, lot dimensions, and assessed values of surrounding homes. This is likely accessible through the listing website.
