Condos for sale in Whitby

Port Whitby is the biggest cluster. Buildings there sit within a few minutes' walk of the station, the marina at 301 Watson Street West and the Waterfront Trail, and the Town's plans for the area call for more height around the transit hub, so expect construction nearby for years. Downtown Whitby has newer mid-rise buildings near the Four Corners, close to the farmers' market, the library's main branch and the restaurants along Brock Street, plus conversions of older buildings. A handful of 1980s and 1990s low-rise buildings sit along Dundas Street East and in Pringle Creek, usually with larger suites, in-suite laundry added later and fees that reflect their age. Brooklin has small condo projects on Baldwin Street aimed at residents who want to stay in the village. Newer buildings often include a locker and one parking space; older ones may not, and visitor parking can be scarce near the station.

In Ontario a condo purchase should be conditional on your lawyer reviewing the status certificate, which a corporation has ten days to deliver once it is requested and paid for. The package lists the monthly charge and its inclusions, whether the corporation is in a lawsuit, whether a special assessment has been levied or is being considered, the size of the reserve fund and the date and findings of the last reserve fund study, the rules on pets, rentals and renovations, and whether the unit's owner is in arrears. In newer buildings look at the first-year budget versus actual costs, because fees often rise once the developer hands over. In older buildings check what major work, such as windows, garage membranes or elevators, is scheduled and funded. The Miller team reads these documents with every condo buyer before the condition is waived.
