Estimated Monthly Budget
Things to Confirm Before Signing
· Are utilities included, or separate?
· How many parking spots are included?
· Is the landlord open to a 1-year or 2-year lease?

Utility estimates are approximate and vary by season, habits, and what the landlord includes. Always confirm inclusions with the listing agent.
Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Rent
At $2,550/mo, this is priced below the typical 3-bedroom rent of ~$3,500/mo in Oshawa. Well-priced rentals move fast — worth acting on. That said, let's check what's driving the lower ask: landlord flexibility, lease term restrictions, or simply a motivated landlord.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Oshawa's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
Condo Considerations
For condos, I always review the status certificate thoroughly. Key things I look for: reserve fund health (should be well-funded), any upcoming special assessments, rules that might affect your lifestyle (pets, rentals, renovations), and the corporation's financial statements. We'll want to verify the monthly fees and what they include.
Starter Home Potential
3 bedrooms works well for couples planning families or small families with one child. Consider whether you might outgrow the space in 5-7 years. If so, factor in potential moving costs when making your decision. Alternatively, some buyers convert a bedroom to an office and make it work long-term.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 4 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
