With a record-breaking buyers’ market that defied the pandemic through the bulk of 2020, the year in residential real estate had so many deals that our annual ranking of the priciest sales couldn’t be contained to just the top 10.
Two sets of ties on this year’s list make the 2020 ranking 14 deals deep. And those don’t even include some of the seven-figure sales that turned the most heads this year, with notable names such as Ukrop and Aaron Brooks involved. Even tennis great Billie Jean King took part in the paperwork for a sale that starts off this list.
