As 2023 comes to an end, which was notable for many of the most real estate deals, the stars behind the 10 most expensive deals spent less on average than last year. But one deal broke the previous record in the United States.

Ultimately, the nearly 7,000-square-foot residence sold for just over $41 million.

The Arts and Crafts-style residence built in 1917 is known as “Lasata.” It has an area of 8,500 square feet and contains 10 bedrooms. The property, located on a seven-acre plot, was owned by the former first lady’s grandfather, John Vernoux Bouvier Jr., and Kennedy spent many childhood summers in the building.
