For high-end residential real estate in October, the lowest sales figures avoided dipping below $4 million. The pricey properties on this month's list include sprawling estates in Brentwood, a new home in Forest Hills and custom builds located in the exclusive Troubadour Golf and Field Club in College Grove.

Former NFL personalities, tech executives and trusts linked to high-profile buyers purchased luxurious homes boasting all manner of amenities, including chef-inspired kitchens, resort-style pools and, in one case, a nine-car garage. Because who couldn’t use a spare vehicle if her or his other eight are in the shop being serviced?
