If you’ve been following our real estate trends and forecasts you may recall our blog about the Priciest Home on the Market, which at the time was William Randolph Hearst’s LA Estate. In the blog we also highlighted four other properties being offered for more than $100 million.
Today all of the properties we highlighted in the blog entry with the addition of one more, are all in the running to break the record for the country’s most expensive House on the market.
Now the interesting part is to see which one will sell (if any!) and at what price.
Here is a recap of the properties:
-Hearst Estate, still on top of the list, this 6.25-acre compound includes three pools and cascading ponds, two tennis courts, a fountain, and three additional houses.
