Most Expensive Sales in 2011

The market for luxury homes in Montgomery County rebounded somewhat in 2011.  In 2010, we saw one resale at $10M, then the next four highest sales prices were from $3.7M to $4.oM (here’s the full article).  So how does that compare with 2011?

Here’s the top 5 sales for 2011:

  • 5215 Edgemoor Lane, Bethesda – $10M.  This home didn’t hit the open market and had a tax assessment value of $2M.  This is striking example that shows a home’s market value and it’s tax value are often worlds apart.
  • 9121 Burdette Road, Bethesda – $5.8M.  Another one that never hit the open market.
  • 5630 Wisconsin Avenue #1701, Chevy Chase – $5M.  This penthouse condo in Somerset has over 4,200 square feet of living space.  The condo fee alone is over$ 3,300/month.
  • 9000 Burning Tree Road, Bethesda – $4.365M.  New construction in Bethesda.
  • 9905 Bentcross Drive, Potomac – $4M.  30,000 square feet of living space with 9 bedrooms, 15 full baths, indoor pool, 6 car garage and more.  Take a peek inside.

Looking at the top five sales in the last three years, 2011 was definitely stronger than 2010 and somewhat comparable to 2009.  We’ll see how 2012 plays out.
