What East Kildonan Houses Are Like

East Kildonan runs east from the Red River, with Henderson Highway as its main route. It started as a streetcar suburb in the early 1900s, was its own city from 1957 and joined Winnipeg in 1972. Most of it was built in the 1950s housing boom.

The house we see most here is a 1950s bungalow: two bedrooms and one bathroom on the main floor, over a full basement that’s usually unfinished. Many owners finish that basement themselves over the years. You’ll also find 1920s homes in pockets like Rossmere, up-and-down duplexes from around 1960, and 1970s side-by-sides farther east in Valley Gardens.

Houses We’ve Bought in East Kildonan

We’ve bought on Talbot Ave, McCalman Ave and Munroe Ave.

On Munroe Ave, the basement had a bedroom, but it wasn’t a legal finished basement. We pulled permits and did the work so the bedroom down there was legal. Between that and the house sitting on a main road, we barely broke even. That’s the reality of flipping. Houses on main roads, like that one and the one on Talbot, sell slower than houses on quiet side streets, and our offers have to account for it.

What Comes Up When You Sell

  • Old wiring. Some of the 1920s houses still have knob-and-tube. Many Manitoba insurers want it replaced with copper before they’ll cover the house, or they quote a much higher premium. That can stall a buyer.
  • Asbestos. It’s common in houses built before the 1950s. Left undisturbed, it’s fine. Before anyone renovates or tears down, it has to be abated.
  • Do-it-yourself basements. A basement finished without permits raises questions for a buyer’s inspector. If water ever got behind that drywall, there may be mould too.

None of this has to be fixed before you sell to us. We price the house as it stands. Read how we buy houses as-is in Winnipeg.

Why East Kildonan Owners Call Us

  • An inherited house still full of a parent’s things. In winter you can’t run an estate sale on a driveway full of snow, so many families sell with everything still inside. We’re fine with that.
  • A duplex or side-by-side you’re done managing. See selling a rental with tenants.
  • A move, a divorce or a change in health that needs a firm date
  • A listing that expired, or a sale that fell apart after the inspection

Questions About Selling in East Kildonan

Aren’t cash buyers just lowballers?

We follow our numbers: what the house would sell for on the market, minus what it costs to fix up, minus our margin. We’ve laid it out on our page about how cash buyers calculate an offer. We’re a business, and if we overpaid there’d be no business.

How do I know this isn’t a scam? What happens to my mortgage?

In Manitoba, home sales close through real estate lawyers, so your lawyer handles the paperwork and pays out your mortgage from the sale proceeds. Nothing is final until you’ve gone through it with your lawyer.

I finished the basement myself, without permits. Can I still sell?

Yes. Plenty of East Kildonan owners did the same. Tell us what was done and we’ll take it into account. You don’t need to pull permits first.

Is East Kildonan the same as North Kildonan?

They’re neighbours in northeast Winnipeg, and we buy in both. If your house is farther north, see our North Kildonan page. If it’s closer to Nairn Avenue, our Elmwood page may fit better.
