Here Are the Most Expensive Home Sales of May

All of last month’s most expensive home sales were in Southern California, Florida or Manhattan.

A Bel Air estate was the most expensive home sale of May, fetching $110 million. Another Los Angeles home, a Spanish villa in neighboring Holmby Hills, came in second, with a sale price of $57.3 million. 

All in all, four of last month’s most expensive home sales were in Southern California, four were in coastal Florida, and two were in Manhattan. 

Four of the homes sold for $55 million or more, and all sold for more than $30 million. Coastal parts of Florida, like Palm Beach and Boca Raton, are typically home to many ultra-expensive home sales in any given month. Despite the increasing risk of climate disasters and skyrocketing insurance costs in those places, mega-wealthy homebuyers have the means to rebuild, repair, or take a loss.

Today’s Most Expensive Home Listings

We also took a look at the most expensive listings on the market today. 

The top two, both oceanfront Florida estates, are listed at more than $200 million. All 10 of today’s most expensive listings are asking more than $125 million. Half of the listings are in Florida, four are in the Los Angeles area, and one is in Lake Tahoe. 

Note that most of the listings are the same as last time we published this ranking because top-tier luxury homes typically take a long time to sell. Each of the listings below have been on the market for more than 120 days; for the sake of comparison, the typical U.S. home sells in 38 days.
