In 2019, 6 homes sold for at least $100 million—the highest number of sales at that price in U.S. history for any given year. Take a look at the factors driving the trend:
, and a $117.5 million sale in the Silicon Valley haven of Woodside. The first two properties on the list sold last year.
Miller continues: “The frenzy grew to the point where even though the vast majority of these homes weren’t worth anywhere near those numbers, those big asks became commonplace. While the vast majority of these listings never sold, some did, with 2014 U.S. sales at or above the $50 million threshold surged to 23 in 2014 from less than a handful in a typical year.”
If you compare all the $100 million listings around the country, it appears at least one trend is letting the local market—thehyperlocal market—be what defines a property as worthy of surpassing nine figures. The Malibu home listed by Saperstein, for example, has a small private beach, even though it is within an oceanfront community. It takes the two local criteria for luxury—privacy and water frontage—to the greatest possible extreme for what the lot can contain.
