WHY LIVE IN OSHAWA

Did you know that you can still purchase a home in 2024 in Oshawa between $370,000 – $999,999 and commute to downtown Toronto in just 1 hour (without the traffic!)?

Here we’re going to highlight some of the reasons why you should definitely consider purchasing a property in Oshawa that’s affordable and allows to you have quick access to downtown Toronto.

The biggest concern when buying a property in the Greater Toronto Area is the commute times to work. In a city that’s known for it’s non-stop congestion, we’re all used to spending a lot of time in our cars in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Although Oshawa is connected to Toronto via Highway 401, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have better and quicker options to get downtown!

You can travel from Durham College GO Station in Oshawa and arrive at Union Station GO Station in Toronto in approximately 1 hour and 2 minutes, and we’re talking about the morning train to work!

If you need to head north to get work, you can take the GO Bus from Durham College GO to Unionville in 1 hour and 20 minutes! Whichever route you decide to take, it’s way easier than sitting in traffic deciphering license plates!

Amit & Harshita

Me and my wife Harshita comes with a background and strong belief of having the blessings of elders is ultra-important. Our signing the contract was purely because of Team Leader Gyanesh Paliwal. We really liked his knowledge, experience and as an elder and like a family member. Given this was our first Home experience and we were super anxious, on the closing day when we both were missing our parents the most to hear that voice go for it, you played that role. It was your voice in the end saying go for it gave me the courage to say yes.

We hope that this would turn out to be one of our best decisions. In future we would love to work with you from the start till the end. We may definitely mention that when we both needed someone like our father to give that extra strength to take this decision you were there for us.

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Akanksha and Gyanesh Paliwal of RE/MAX Team Paliwal. What started as a relationship with our real estate broker quickly evolved into a personal connection. The team has a deep understanding of the housing market but what stood out was always their attention to our unique needs. Gyanesh and Akanksha took out time to educate us as first time home buyer about the process of searching and purchasing a home before diving into the real home hunt. Akanksha’s approach to shift through the inventory and filter it down to our needs was very methodical which made it easier for us to make the final decision.

I wanna share my experience with Re/Max, Gyanesh Paliwal and his team, when the idea of buying house came up in our minds, we called Remax team Paliwal they explained everything in details, and kept following up with us till we made the decision to buy the house, then we met Gyanesh Paliwal, and they did everything to make us understand all the details of buying house as that was our first time, then the journey of viewing houses started, we visited tens of them in different places, they gave us opinion about each house, if any of them is in bad location or has something bad, they right away told us about it, then we came to the point that we found the house that we loved.

- Mohamed Elghazaly, October 2023
I was thinking of making an investment in GTA market. RE/MAX Agent Gyanesh Paliwal’s name was strongly recommended by my family. Gyanesh suggested me a few hand-picked great projects. He provided me full analysis of the project from a top builder. His support to make the right decision is great and he also coordinated and communicated with the builder on my behalf to complete the whole buying process.
