820 Honeyman Avenue – Property Summary

Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile

This is a 1,940-square-foot home on a 3,074-square-foot lot, built in 1905. It sits on Honeyman Avenue in the Wolseley neighbourhood of Winnipeg.

The house is notably large for its area—both within Wolseley and citywide. Its living space ranks in the top 12% of comparable homes across Winnipeg, while its assessed value holds around the city average (top 37%). That combination suggests the home offers more interior room than many other properties at a similar valuation. The lot, however, is on the smaller side for the street and the city, which is typical for older Wolseley homes.

The year built (1905) places it among the oldest homes in Winnipeg (top 2% oldest citywide). This will appeal to buyers who appreciate pre-war character, solid construction, and established neighbourhoods, but it also means budget for maintenance, updates, and possibly aging systems should be realistic.

What kind of buyer would this suit? Someone who values interior space and a central, well-established neighbourhood over a large yard or a move-in-ready newer build. It may especially suit a buyer comfortable with a renovation or ongoing upkeep, or someone looking for a larger home in a walkable, character-filled area without paying a premium for a brand-new or expanded property.

Five Possible FAQs

1. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes in the area?
The assessed value of $405,000 is above the Honeyman Avenue average ($334,600) and above the Wolseley average ($371,300), but roughly in line with the citywide average for comparable homes ($390,100). This suggests the home is priced a bit ahead of its immediate street but not out of step with its neighbourhood or the wider market.

2. Is the lot size considered small for this neighbourhood?
Yes, compared to other homes on Honeyman Avenue, the lot is below average—ranking 21st out of 23 properties. Within Wolseley as a whole, it sits near the middle (top 49%). Citywide, the lot is well below average, which is typical for older, mature neighbourhoods. Buyers expecting a large backyard should take note.

3. What does the year built (1905) mean in terms of practical considerations?
This home is among the oldest 2% in Winnipeg. While many homes of this era have solid bones, hardwood, and good layout, buyers should expect older plumbing, electrical, and possibly insulation. A thorough inspection is wise. Some homes from this period have been updated, but the data doesn’t indicate recent renovations.

4. How does the living area compare to other homes in Wolseley?
Very favourably. The home’s 1,940 square feet is above the Wolseley average of 1,622 square feet, putting it in the top 26% of the neighbourhood. It also exceeds the citywide average (1,342 sqft) significantly. For buyers needing extra interior space, this is a standout feature relative to the price.

5. What’s the best way to see this property in context with nearby homes?
The property listing includes a neighbourhood analysis page with a map and detailed comparisons of year built, living area, assessed value, and lot size for nearby houses. That’s the most practical tool for understanding how this home fits into its immediate surroundings, street by street.
