Of course, Humber Bay Shores doesn’t only have amazing condos to offer. It’s also got one of the most unique and unbeatable local lifestyles in all of Toronto – let alone South Etobicoke.
Hands down one of the most enticing aspects of Humber Bay Shores is that it’s the perfect blend of urban convenience and natural seclusion.

Know What You’re Looking For
While they share the same neighbourhood, each condo in Humber Bay Shores has something different to offer. So, to ensure you find the right condo for you, you’ll want to have a fairly good idea of what you’re looking for in a home.
For example, one of the unique perks of living in a condo is the onsite amenities. Maybe you’re looking for a building with a built-in fitness centre and tennis courts – or perhaps a place with dedicated social spaces like a games room or rooftop patio is more your style. You won’t need to jot down your perfect place to the very last detail, however, the more must-haves you can define the better.
Know What You Can Afford
While condos are usually more affordable than detached homes, you’ll still need to put together a concise budget before you head to the market. That said, the simplest way to get a sense of your budget is by getting pre-approved for a mortgage.
When you get pre-approved, a lender looks at your entire financial situation and determines how much you could reasonably afford to put toward your mortgage each month. They’ll check things like your income, savings, existing debt, and credit history. After that, they decide how much money they will lend you. Once you know the maximum amount you qualify for, you’ll have helpful financial boundaries for your search.
Find the Right Agent to Help
Once you have a rough idea of what you’re looking for in a condo and what you can afford, you’ll want to find a local real estate agent who can guide you through a smooth purchase. If you’ve never worked with an agent before, it can be hard to understand just how big of a difference they’ll make in your purchase.
Not only will an experienced and well-connected local agent help you discover the best available condo units based on your personal preferences, but their market insights and professional insights can help you get the best deal possible based on your budget.
On that note, if you’re looking to buy a condo in Humber Bay Shores, it makes sense to choose an agent who specializes in its unique micro market – like me.
