While homeownership is out of reach for many, the ultrawealthy continue to snap up luxury properties with ease.
Affluent homebuyers are increasingly seeking homes with amenities that promote health and well-being, like pickleball courts, spa-like bathrooms, and resort-style pools. They’re also drawn to turnkey homes where minimal renovations are needed — and they’re prepared to pay top dollar to get exactly what they want.
In July, Redfin released a list of the 10 most expensive homes sold in the US between January and July 2025. According to the company, this year’s priciest home sales were split primarily between California and Florida, with two additional sales in New York and Hawaii.
Here are five homes featured on Redfin’s list, ranging from a Spanish villa in Los Angeles to an luxury condo in New York.
Business Insider has also included the median home sale price for each city as of June, sourced from Redfin.
