Florida and New York dominated February’s ultra-luxury housing market, with oceanfront estates and Central Park condos going for more than $50 million.
A never-before-listed oceanfront estate in Manalapan, FL—an ultra-exclusive town on a small barrier island near Palm Beach—was the most expensive U.S. home sale of February 2026, pulling in over $68 million. Just up the road on Ocean Boulevard, another palatial Manalapan property landed on last month’s priciest purchases list with its sale price of $31.5 million. As of the 2020 census, Manalapan’s population was only 419. Many of these residents—like billionaire Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison and Fox News’s Sean Hannity—are rich or famous.
New York’s Central Park also proved a hot luxury location in February; four of the most expensive homes directly border—or are within a few blocks of—the iconic greenspace. A five-story, recently refurbished townhome pulled in top-dollar among them, going to an anonymous buyer for $55 million.
All told, five of October’s most expensive sales were in New York and three were in Florida. Only two properties west of the Mississippi made the list:a $46 million mountain retreat in Incline Village, NV and a $40 million Los Angeles mansion.
The four most expensive homes brought in $50 million or more, while all 10 sold for north of $30 million.
