It’s always fun taking a look back at the most expensive homes sold in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) region each year (see 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020) so let’s jump right into some amazing real estate that changed hands in 2024 (Note: this includes what is entered into the MLS, it’s certainly possible (likely) that expensive homes have traded hands privately outside of the MLS).
The most expensive home sold in 2024 was a $25,500,000 Mclean home built in 2022, perched above the Potomac River. It edged out, this incredible home in Washington DC, along Foxhall Rd, that sold for an even $25,000,000.
