660 Aberdeen Avenue – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a newly built home (2022) in Winnipeg’s William Whyte neighbourhood, offering 864 square feet of living space on a 3,003-square-foot lot. Its assessed value is $244,000.
The property’s strongest feature is its age. It is among the newest homes on its street (top 1%), in its neighbourhood (top 1%), and citywide (top 1%). In an area where most houses date from the 1920s and 1930s, this translates to modern construction standards, updated systems, and likely lower immediate maintenance needs.
Its assessed value is notably high relative to nearby properties—top 14% on the street and top 7% in the neighbourhood. This suggests the home is priced well above the local average, reflecting both the new build and possibly finishes or upgrades. However, citywide, it sits well below the median ($390,100), keeping it accessible relative to other newer builds in pricier parts of Winnipeg.
The living area is slightly below average for the street and neighbourhood, and well below citywide norms. This is a compact home. The land area is also below average locally and significantly smaller than the citywide average. You are not buying a large yard or sprawling floor plan.
Who this suits: First-time buyers or small households looking for a move-in-ready home in a central neighbourhood with older housing stock. It avoids the renovation headaches common to older homes in William Whyte. It less suits buyers seeking maximum square footage, a large lot, or an area where assessed values align closely with citywide medians. The relatively high local assessment also means property taxes may be higher than neighbouring older homes.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the living space compare to other homes in the area?
The 864 sqft is slightly below the street average (~1,025 sqft) and neighbourhood average (~1,158 sqft). It’s a compact footprint—functional for one or two people, but tight for a larger family expecting a separate dining room or extra bedroom.
2. Why is the assessed value so much higher than nearby homes?
The home was built in 2022, while most surrounding houses date from the 1920s–30s. New construction typically commands a higher assessment due to current building codes, materials, and systems. The assessed value reflects what a buyer would likely pay for a comparable new home in this location.
3. Is the lot size typical for the neighbourhood?
It’s slightly smaller than average. The street average is 3,265 sqft, and the neighbourhood average is 3,277 sqft. Your lot is 3,003 sqft—on par with the lower end of local standards, but well below Winnipeg’s citywide average of 6,570 sqft (which includes larger suburban lots).
4. How does this home compare to other newer builds in Winnipeg?
Citywide, newer homes (post-2010) tend to be larger and sit on bigger lots, often in suburban developments. This home’s 864 sqft and 3,003 sqft lot are smaller than typical for new construction in the city. Its appeal is location and price—it offers new construction at a lower entry point than most, in a central neighbourhood rather than a fringe subdivision.
5. Does the “elite” ranking for year built mean the home is luxury-grade?
No—the “elite” ranking simply means its construction year (2022) places it among the newest 1% of homes citywide. It does not indicate luxury finishes or an upscale build. It’s an indicator of modernity, not quality tier. You’re buying a new, standard home in an older neighbourhood, not a high-end property.
