Winnipeg Home Values
Why Winnipeg Home Values Are Poised to Appreciate
As a trusted mortgage broker in Winnipeg, I’m here to help you not only secure great rates, but also make informed decisions about your future. One of the most important considerations for homeowners and real estate investors alike is property value growth. And the outlook for Winnipeg is incredibly promising.
​
Market Snapshot: Strong Growth in 2025
According to the most recent data from WOWA.ca:
-
Average home price in February 2025: $394,088 (Up 6.3% year-over-year, 10.2% from January)
-
Detached homes: $458,064 (14.5% YoY increase)
-
Attached homes: $379,152 (6.0% YoY increase)
-
Condos: $274,036 (1.6% YoY increase)
Transactions across all home types are also up, with significant month-over-month growth indicating a heating market fueled by decreasing interest rates and a tighter housing supply.
​
Why Winnipeg Is a Hidden Gem
Compared to major Canadian cities, Winnipeg offers incredible value. Our benchmark home price stands at just $363,200. In contrast:
-
Toronto: $1,073,900
-
Vancouver: $1,169,100
-
Calgary: $587,600
-
Montreal: $549,900
This affordability positions Winnipeg as an attractive destination for first-time buyers, investors, and people relocating from higher-cost regions.​
​
Historic Price Trends: Long-Term Growth
Over the past 10 years:
-
Winnipeg home values have risen 48%, outpacing the 29% rise in inflation (CPI).
-
This growth reflects healthy, non-speculative appreciation driven by real demand.
-
​
Post-Pandemic Recovery & Momentum
Home prices peaked in May 2022, dropped during interest rate hikes, and bottomed in early 2023. But since November 2023, the Winnipeg market has:
-
Increased 13% in average home price
-
Benefited from six interest rate cuts between June 2024 and January 2025
-
Seen renewed buyer confidence due to strong fundamentals and affordability
-
​
Tight Inventory = Upward Pressure
-
Winnipeg currently has 2,787 active listings, including:
-
1,172 detached
-
346 condos
-
183 attached homes
-
This inventory is 15% lower than last year, creating a supply crunch that supports further price increases.
​
Housing Type Spotlight
-
Detached homes saw the highest appreciation: +14.5% YoY to $458,064
-
Attached homes also jumped: +6.0% YoY
-
Condo sales surged with a 16.4% YoY increase in units sold
The trend is clear: Winnipeg's market is active, affordable, and gaining momentum.
​
Mortgage Rates: Fueling the Market
With 2-year fixed rates as low as 3.94% from lenders like Cambrian Credit Union, and even major banks offering promotional rates under 5%, buyers are locking in great deals and entering the market with confidence.
​

-
A first-time buyer looking for affordable entry points
