The Buyers: Stella Melo, 30, a business analyst at a bank, and Brian Melo, 33, an automotive refinisher, with their schnauzer mix, Stewart. The Story: In 2020, Stella and Brian purchased a one-bedroom, one-bathroom condo in Oakville’s Glen Abbey for $448,000. After four years, they were ready for something bigger and closer to Stella’s job downtown. They also wanted two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a precious amenity in Toronto: two parking spots. In October of 2024, they set their budget at $850,000 and began their search.
