Most Expensive Beach Houses In America

The real estate recession in the USA is upon us. Property values are likely to get a lot worse before they get better, as we see the biggest housing crisis for 50 years. Foreclosures are mounting and debt is a huge burden but that doesn’t mean houses on the most desirable U.S. beaches aren’t still asking boom-style prices.
The most expensive beach house today is listed at $59.5 million in Bridgehampton, N.Y. Of course, as many home buyers and sellers are finding out these days, the asking price is often far higher than the selling price. One thing is pretty certain: Once the economy recovers it’s a pretty good bet that prices for properties such as these will go even higher.
