51 Wittenberg Road – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 1991 home with 2,143 square feet of living space, sitting on a 5,491-square-foot lot. The property performs well above average in three key areas: living area, assessed value ($560,000), and year built—ranking in the top 8–22% citywide depending on the metric. The lot size, however, is comparatively small for the street, ranking in the bottom 5% locally, though it remains close to the neighbourhood and city averages.
The appeal here is straightforward: you get a larger-than-average home in a well-established neighborhood (Whyte Ridge) without the premium price tag of a newer build or a bigger lot. The assessed value is strong relative to the city, suggesting solid equity positioning. This property suits buyers who prioritize interior space and location over outdoor square footage—those who want room to spread out but don't need a sprawling yard. It may also appeal to value-conscious buyers who see the smaller lot as a trade-off for a better-built home in a top-ranked area, rather than a compromise.
Five Possible FAQs
1. How does the lot size compare to other homes on this street?
It's one of the smallest on Wittenberg Road, ranking 42nd out of 44 homes. The street average is about 5,968 square feet, while this lot is just under that at 5,491 square feet. Neighbourhood and city averages are larger still, at around 6,175 to 6,570 square feet.
2. Is the assessed value realistic compared to similar homes nearby?
Yes—it's above both the street and neighbourhood averages. On Wittenberg Road, the average assessment is $533,400, and in Whyte Ridge it's $529,600. This home is assessed at $560,000, reflecting its larger living area and good condition relative to its peers.
3. What does the "Taon ng Paggawa" ranking mean?
It's the year built. This home was constructed in 1991, which ranks 12th out of 44 homes on the street (top 27%). That means newer than most on the block, though the neighbourhood average is newer at 1994, so it's around the middle for Whyte Ridge. Citywide, homes average 1966, so this is significantly newer.
4. How does this property compare citywide for living space?
It ranks in the top 8% across Winnipeg for living area. The city average for comparable homes is 1,342 square feet, so this home is about 60% larger. That's the strongest metric for the property—it's a genuinely spacious home by local standards.
5. Is the neighbourhood considered a good investment area?
Whyte Ridge ranks in the top 11% citywide for living area and top 22% for assessed value. The combination of above-average home sizes, consistent assessments, and a built era around the early 1990s suggests a stable, established area with decent resale potential. The smaller lot may limit upside for some buyers, but the home's size and street ranking offset that in a market where interior square footage is often prioritized.
