Spelling Manor Sells for $110M, July’s Priciest U.S. Home Deal is in Los Angeles

Holmby Hills Estate Once Owned by Aaron Spelling Tops Redfin’s Monthly List

The former estate of television producer Aaron Spelling topped the list of July’s priciest U.S. home sales, closing for $110 million, according to new data from brokerage Redfin.

Known as “Spelling Manor,” the sprawling Los Angeles property on South Mapleton Drive outpaced all other luxury transactions nationwide last month. The second-highest sale was a $51.1 million beachfront compound in Delray Beach, Florida.

Overall, four of July’s 10 most expensive residential deals were in Southern California, five were in Florida’s coastal enclaves, and one was in Massachusetts — a Martha’s Vineyard estate once used by former President Barack Obama as a summer retreat.

All 10 properties sold for at least $29 million, and four commanded $40 million or more. Despite rising insurance premiums and growing climate risks, Florida continues to attract mega-wealthy buyers who have the resources to absorb losses or rebuild, according to Redfin.

Spelling Manor’s $110 million sale also ranks as the nation’s second-largest transaction of 2025 so far, trailing only a $133 million waterfront compound in Naples, Florida.
