Three beachfront Florida homes made it onto Redfin’s ranking of the 10 most expensive sales of the whole year. 

A 5-acre compound in coastal Miami known as the Banyan Ridge Estate sold for $101.5 million last month, making it the most expensive U.S. home sale of December and the fourth most expensive sale of 2025. 

It’s followed by two beachfront Palm Beach estates, both of which also broke onto our ranking of 2025’s most expensive U.S. home sales, fetching $97.5 million and $66.1 million, respectively.
