Yeah, it's possible some people appreciate straight floors... and no amount of money will get you that in River Heights!

$405k will still buy a lot of house in Winnipeg, but it doesn't go far in the more popular areas, and even less so if you are comparing a nicely fitted out condo, where a similarly priced house will usually require updates and significant renos to get the same modern looks.

Trust me, up till last fall we had spent 12 months searching for a house in River Heights, Crescentwood, Wolseley, etc. $500k is the sweet spot for a really nice, no more work required property in these areas.

We ended up getting a old fixer upper in Wolseley, with straighter floors than any house in River Heights could ever dream of!
