Planning a Whitby open house circuit
Start with the earliest posted time and work outward, and give each house a full walk rather than a glance from the door. In the older pockets of Downtown Whitby and Blue Grass Meadows, spend your minutes in the basement and at the electrical panel, because the age of the mechanical systems decides the first year's costs. In Brooklin and Taunton North, ask the host which lots back onto future roads or school sites, and look at the grading between houses on the newer streets. In Port Whitby, stand on the balcony and listen for the rail line and the marina. Bring the listing sheet with you and note the offer date if one is set; a busy open house in Whitby is often the first sign that a home will draw more than one offer.
