Reading a Pickering house on the day
In the bay band, ask whether the property sits inside the conservation authority's regulated area along Frenchman's Bay, Krosno Creek or the shoreline, and listen for the rail corridor and the 401 from the bedrooms. On the Whites Road streets, most homes date from the seventies and eighties, so check the windows, the roof line, the electrical panel and whether the basement has ever taken water from the ravines that thread through Amberlea and Highbush. In Seaton and Duffin Heights, the questions are about what is planned for the empty land, when the road will connect and what the builder still owes under warranty. Wherever you are, find out if the seller has an offer date, and if you are working with Randy or Alexander, tell the host as you sign in.
