755 Aberdeen Avenue – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 942-square-foot home on a 2,999-square-foot lot, built in 1925. The property sits in the William Whyte neighbourhood of Winnipeg.
The appeal here is straightforward: it’s a modest, older home in a working-class area, with an assessed value that sits well below both the neighbourhood and citywide averages. At $144,000, it ranks in the bottom 3% citywide by assessed value, which means it’s among the more affordable options in Winnipeg. That low price point is the main draw—not standout size, condition, or a premium location.
On the street and in the neighbourhood, the property is squarely average for living area, land size, and year built. It’s a middle-of-the-pack home among similar houses nearby, which means it likely won’t feel oversized or cramped compared to its immediate neighbours. The citywide comparisons, however, show that this home is smaller, older, and on less land than the typical Winnipeg property. That’s partly a reflection of the neighbourhood’s character—William Whyte is an older, more compact area with smaller lots and houses.
This property suits buyers who are priced out of newer or more centrally located homes, or who are comfortable with a fixer-upper in a modest area. It could work well for a first-time buyer prioritizing affordability over space, or an investor looking for a low-cost entry point into the market with potential for gradual appreciation. It is not a home for someone wanting move-in-ready modern finishes, a large yard, or a quick resale premium.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this a small home compared to others in the area?
On Aberdeen Avenue itself and within William Whyte, the living area is about average—neither notably small nor large for the street. But compared to Winnipeg as a whole, it is below average. The same goes for land area: typical for the neighbourhood, but much smaller than the citywide average lot size of 6,570 square feet.
2. How does the assessed value of $144,000 compare to what similar homes sell for?
Assessed value and sale price are not the same thing, but in a neighbourhood with many comparable older homes, the assessment gives a rough sense of market positioning. Here, the property sits well below both the street average ($167,700) and the citywide average ($390,100). That suggests it likely trades at a lower price point than most homes in Winnipeg, though actual sale price depends on condition, upgrades, and market timing.
3. Was this house built around the same time as others on the street?
Yes. Built in 1925, it is slightly older than the average year built for Aberdeen Avenue (1930) and for William Whyte (1927). It is significantly older than the citywide average of 1966, but that is typical for this part of town—many homes in the area date from the 1910s through 1930s.
4. What is the neighbourhood like in terms of home values and age?
William Whyte is an older, more affordable neighbourhood compared to much of Winnipeg. Its homes are predominantly early-to-mid 20th century, with smaller lots and lower assessed values than newer suburban areas. The property’s rankings (top 28% for year built, top 46% for assessed value within the neighbourhood) show it is roughly typical for the area—not an outlier in any direction.
5. Does the "rank by" system mean better or worse?
The ranking system works as follows: higher is better for living area (larger), land area (larger), assessed value (more valuable), and year built (newer). This property ranks near the middle on its street and in its neighbourhood for most metrics, and in the bottom tier citywide for size, age, and value. The bar fill shows what percentage of comparable properties you outperform—so a low fill means most peers are larger, newer, or more valuable.
