504 Scurfield Boulevard – Property Summary
Overview & Buyer Profile
This 1,916 sqft home in Whyte Ridge, built in 1993, sits on a 5,306 sqft lot with an assessed value of $559,000. Its main appeal is consistency: the living area and assessed value both rank well above average citywide (top 13% and top 12%, respectively), while the land area and year of construction are more middle-of-the-pack. That mix makes it a practical choice for buyers who want a reasonably spacious, modern-enough home without paying a premium for an oversized lot or brand-new construction.
The property suits families or professionals looking for a stable, established neighborhood with above-average living space—especially those who prioritize interior square footage over yard size or the newest finishes. It’s also a good fit for buyers who want reassurance that the home’s value is well-supported by local comparables, rather than hoping for rapid appreciation in an up-and-coming pocket.
Five Common Questions
1. How does this home compare to others on the same street?
On Scurfield Boulevard, it’s slightly above average in value (ranked 46 out of 197) but around average for livable space, year built, and lot size. That suggests it’s a solid, middle-of-the-road option within the immediate block—not the biggest or most expensive, but not below par either.
2. Is the lot size a concern?
At 5,306 sqft, the lot is a bit smaller than the street average (5,755 sqft) and the neighborhood average (6,175 sqft). Citywide, it’s roughly in the middle (top 48%). If you value a large yard for gardening, dogs, or expansion, this might feel tight. But for a low-maintenance yard or less upkeep time, it’s a reasonable trade-off.
3. What does the “above average” assessed value really mean?
The home’s $559,000 assessed value is above the neighborhood average of $529,600 and well above the citywide average for comparable homes ($390,100). That tells you it’s not just a cheap entry point—it’s a property that holds its own in a pricier part of the city. For buyers, this can mean less risk of sudden drops, but also less room for dramatic value gains.
4. Is the 1993 build date outdated?
The house is newer than many in Winnipeg (citywide average is 1966), but slightly older than the averages on its street (1996) and in the neighborhood (1994). It’s not vintage, nor is it brand new. Buyers should expect systems (roof, furnace, windows) to be at a 30-year mark and plan for potential updates, but the structure itself is unlikely to have the issues found in much older homes.
5. How does the neighborhood of Whyte Ridge compare citywide?
Whyte Ridge ranks well: the home is in the top 22% for assessed value and top 23% for living space within the neighborhood itself. That means you’re buying into an area that’s already above the city median, not an undervalued or transitional one. It’s a mature, stable suburb—good for resale stability, but not necessarily a hotspot for rapid price growth.
