$12 M house with glass-ceiling wine cellar one of Toronto’s most expensive homes to sell last month

While the average price of a home in Toronto is down month over month to just over $1 million, some properties in the city are still selling for eye-watering sums. 

Last month, the city saw a few luxurious properties in Rosedale and Yorkville–two of the city’s swankier neighbourhoods–sell for well over $5 million. Not unexpectedly, these homes offer a ton of space, a lot of style and magazine-worthy interiors.

Here’s a look at the five most expensive houses that sold in Toronto in October, courtesy of real estate website and brokerage Zoocasa:
