As the stock market roared to record heights and the slumping ultra-luxury real estate market began to show increased momentum and optimism, such as the $210 million sale of a bluff-top spread in Malibu, 2024 has seen no shortage of trophy residences for sale across the country with stratospheric price tags.
Continuing trends include an increased demand for space and privacy, in-house health and wellness features, and advanced technologies like integrated home-automation systems and biometric security. Additionally, ranch and waterfront properties reigned supreme across the country, from a stately stone mansion that presides over 350 wooded acres on the pristine shore of Vermont’s Lake Champlain to a 3,500-acre ranch on Maui in Hawaii.
Robb Report scoured all 50 states (plus Washington, D.C.) to compile our updated list of the most expensive homes currently on the open market from coast to coast. Last year’s top spot went to the $250 million Casa Encantada estate in L.A.’s Bel Air neighborhood—it’s now listed for a still sky-high, albeit substantially reduced, $195 million—while this year’s goes to an expansive compound in Naples, Florida, which claims almost 1,700 feet of shoreline on the Gulf of Mexico and hit the market early in the year with a traffic-stopping $295 million ask. By contrast, the least expensive home is a $2.75 million Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired home in South Dakota.
