It’s been a tough market for people selling their houses in Toronto this past year, and it hasn’t been much better for the luxury homes market.
And sure, the world’s tiniest violin is playing in the background because most people can’t even afford a home in this city. But it is interesting that a home as beautiful as 106 Glenayr Rd. has been on the market for more than eight months without selling.
Eight whole months, and still no takers.
The open concept living and dining room with soaring ceilings.
The breathtaking new build was designed by Omid Taba, the founder of OE Design, and is a sophisticated home that could easily grace the pages of an interior design magazine.

106 Glenayr Rd. sits on a generous 50 by 130-foot lot and boasts a total of 5,800 square feet of above-grade living space, with an additional 2,950 square feet in the basement, a subterranean space that rivals most houses in the city.
