Bel Air and Holmby Hills Estates Lead May’s List of America’s Top 10 Home Sales

LA Claims Two of the Top Three Luxury Home Sales Last Month

Breaking into the nine-figure range, a recently sold Bel Air mansion claimed the top spot as the most expensive residential transaction in the U.S. for May, according to a Redfin report. The Los Angeles property sold for $110 million, far outpacing other luxury home deals across the country.

Close behind was a $57.3 million Spanish villa in Holmby Hills, another affluent neighborhood on L.A.’s Westside. Of the ten highest-priced home sales last month, four occurred in Southern California, four in Florida, and two in New York City.

Florida’s coastal communities—particularly Palm Beach, Manalapan, and Boca Raton—continued to attract ultra-wealthy buyers, even as extreme weather threats and rising insurance premiums loom large. Four homes sold for at least $55 million, and all ten fetched over $30 million.

Top 10 Most Expensive U.S. Home Sales – May 2024:

  1. 630 Nimes Rd., Los Angeles, CA – $110 million
  2. 391 N. Carolwood Dr., Los Angeles, CA – $57.3 million
  3. 1140 S. Ocean Blvd., Manalapan, FL – $55 million

  9. 63 Monarch Bay Dr., Dana Point, CA – $34 million
  10. 1788 Royal Palm Way, Boca Raton, FL – $31.5 million

Active listings in June remain sky-high, with multiple estates listed for more than $200 million. Topping the current list is an oceanfront compound in Manalapan, Florida, priced at $285 million. Half of the nation’s ten most expensive listings are in Florida, while four are located in greater Los Angeles.
