Priciest Home Sale in 2006?

by Roberta Murphy

Del Mar EstateRealtors and public alike are fascinated by record-setting news, and most of us are curious to know about the most expensive home sold in the last year.

In San Diego County, the winner of record would be a stunning 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath Del Mar oceanfront beauty sold by Jennifer Moores to Marsha Naify for $18 million.

The ultra-luxury real estate market in San Diego is a healthy one, with at least 37 homes selling above $5 million last year. And 2007 is poised to be even better.

That Del Mar sale, though, pales compared to a report filed by luxury home writer Bernice Ross. She tosses aside California, Hawaii, Florida and New York as contenders. The winner? New Jersey! It appears the most expensive closed single residential sale for 2006 was a $58 million, 63 acre estate located just five miles outside Manhattan. Clay Frick (heir to the Frick Collection of rare European paintings) was the seller, and the buyer was Richard Kurz, who has plans to subdivide the property into an unknown number of estate lots.

Meanwhile, the luxury home market looks to be a healthy one in 2007.
