It’s a shame that some of these are known as homes, when they can very easily put a five star hotel to shame. These suburban palaces can quite comfortably compete and defeat full-fledge hotels or luxury apartments in terms of grandeur and size. Most of these palaces (sometimes ‘mistakenly’ referred to as homes) cover thousands of square feet of land, took years in completion, and enjoy unparalleled designs. No wonder that these properties are incredibly high priced. Let’s take a look at some of these legendary residences. Note that the lists keep changing on yearly basis, with massive price tags attached, you can always expect a massive slash in prices (that can be as much as 30 – 40 million).

Antilla:

A home worth more than one billion dollar; how’s that for expensiveness? Antilla is a 170 meter tall skyscraper that happens to be the home of Mukesh Ambani, valued at one billion dollars; it is currently the most expensive home in this world. You can estimate the size and grandness by the fact that its garage has a capacity of more than 160 cars. And in case it is out of space, visitors can use helicopters to arrive, as it has 3 helipads of its own. It’s interesting to know that Lakshmi Mitall, another Indian in the list of the richest men, owns the most expensive home in Britain. 

Fleur De Lys:

A property owned by Suzanne Saperstein, the house is on sale for some time now. With demanding price set at a staggering $ 125 million dollars and the owner seemingly not interested in reducing it anytime soon, it may remain on market for some more time. Spreading on more than 40,000 square feet of land, Fleur De Lys is known as the most expensive property in United Estates.

Villa La Leopolda:

Recently, the villa was sold at an astonishing price of 750 million dollars (making it arguably the most expensive deal in the history of home purchases). The deal doesn’t turn out well though, these days there’s some tussle going on in between the buyer and sellers. Irrespective of the end result (i.e. the deal take place or not), Villa La Leopolda is worth including in the list of most expensive homes. Located in a French town, it used to be a residence of Bill Gates at one point of time. No big deal for the Villa though, as it was built and occupied by King Leopold II of Belgium.

As with other free markets, the pricing and availability of real estate is directly related to the forces of supply and demand. While many real estate markets in the United States are experiencing a substantial slowdown, other markets remain robust, and some even continue to grow.

Real Estate Investing Tip #4. Mobility of management.
