According to new Redfin research, a beachfront compound in Naples, Florida has set the high-water mark for U.S. residential real estate this year, selling for a record $133 million in April 2025. The nine-figure sale underscores the dominance of Florida and California in the nation's luxury housing market, with every one of the top 10 sales of 2025 so far closing at prices above $55 million.
Florida and California continue to trade places atop the high-end market, with each state claiming four of the year's most expensive home sales. Los Angeles alone has logged four deals in the top 10, including a $110 million estate in Bel-Air that ranks as the second-highest transaction of the year. Other headline deals include a $74.3 million waterfront property in Miami Beach and a $65.8 million oceanfront estate in Honolulu, according to Redfin.
New York and Hawaii are the only other states to break into the top 10, with a $60 million Manhattan duplex and a luxury residence in Honolulu rounding out the list.

June's most expensive closing -- the $63.1 million sale of a Beverly Hills villa -- landed among the year's overall top five. Two other notable sales that month included a $46 million transaction on Miami Beach's San Marino Island and a $38.8 million Palm Beach oceanfront estate. All ten of June's highest-priced deals cleared $30 million, spanning California, Florida, New York, and Nevada.

Redfin reports that luxury U.S. homebuyers continue to show strong appetite for trophy homes in coastal markets, even as broader housing markets cool under pressure from rising borrowing costs and insurance premiums. In Florida, high home insurance rates and mounting HOA fees -- driven by extreme weather risks -- have slowed sales velocity, but not demand at the ultra-high-end. Deep-pocketed buyers remain undeterred, favoring properties that offer privacy, waterfront access, and long-term appreciation potential.
