48 Sadler Avenue – Property Summary
Key Characteristics & Buyer Profile
This is a 653-square-foot home built in 1944, sitting on a notably large 10,738-square-foot lot. The living area is below average at every level—street, neighbourhood, and citywide—but the lot size tells a different story. While it’s merely around average for the street, it jumps to above average for the neighbourhood and ranks in the top 5% citywide. The assessed value of $245,000 is around average on Sadler Avenue but below average compared to the broader city.
The property’s main draw is the land. For someone who values outdoor space, gardening, or the potential to expand or redevelop, the lot is the standout feature. The house itself is modest and dated, which may appeal to buyers looking for a lower entry price in exchange for a project. It would suit a hands-on buyer—someone comfortable with renovations or willing to live in a smaller footprint while holding a large piece of land in a stable Winnipeg neighbourhood. It’s less suited for someone seeking a move-in-ready, modern home or a compact, low-maintenance yard.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does “Top 5% citywide” mean for the lot size?
It means this property’s lot is larger than 95% of all comparable homes in Winnipeg. Relative to other properties on Sadler Avenue, it’s around average—so the street itself already has larger lots than the city norm.
2. Is the home in good condition?
The data doesn’t include condition reports, only the year built (1944). A home that age will likely require updates to systems, insulation, windows, and finishes. A professional inspection is strongly recommended to assess current state.
3. How does the assessed value compare to similar homes nearby?
On the street, it’s close to average. In the Worthington neighbourhood, it’s slightly below average. Citywide, it’s well below average—meaning the property is priced lower than most comparable homes across Winnipeg, which may reflect its smaller living area and older construction.
4. Would this property work for a renovation or a new build?
Yes, largely because of the lot size. The 10,738-square-foot lot offers room to expand the existing home or potentially tear down and rebuild, subject to zoning and permits. The current house is quite small, so if you’re after more square footage, enlarging or replacing the structure is a realistic option.
5. What’s the neighbourhood like?
The data shows Worthington has a mix of older homes (average build year around 1962) and moderate assessed values. The lot sizes in the area are generally above the city average. It’s a residential area, but for specific details on schools, amenities, or traffic, you’ll want to consult local maps or visit in person.
