The Seven Most Expensive Homes on the Market in South Florida
The Palm Beach area, in particular, has seen its already pricey real-estate market skyrocket during the pandemic
Sunny South Florida has seen its already deep-pocketed real-estate market reach new heights over the past year. In fact, two of the country’s ten most expensive sales in 2020 were on the lush peninsula. The frenzy has heated up so much that in February, a $140 million spec house on Palm Beach’s North County Road landed a buyer after only a month on the MLS. (Once made official, the sale is in line to beat the $111 million shelled out for the landmark La Rêverie estate in 2019.) Below, Galerie is taking stock of what’s left, including the most expensive current listing: an $84 million manse inspired by Bermudian landmarks. See the full list below.
