Headline Homes: May 2024

In May, the top home also made the list in April. It sold for $8.45 million and just one month later, the then-new owners sold it for $8.75 million. Not a bad turnaround. The rest of the list shows us that the prices aren’t coming down anytime soon — the bottom of the barrel for pricey abodes this month was a stunning $4.9 million.
