This Bay Point, Miami home just sold for a record $38M

In Bay Point, Miami, it’s a new year — and a new real-estate record.
The Biscayne Bay enclave recorded its highest home sale price of $38 million last week, more than doubling its $18 million record set in the not-too-distant past — in 2021. Both the seller and the buyer have not yet been disclosed.
The big-dollar deal was for 4505 Sable Palm Road, an 8,702-square-foot, seven-bed, nine-bath mansion on a half-acre waterfront property.
At $4,691 per square foot, it’s also the second-highest price-per-square-foot deal in Miami history, after businesswoman and philanthropist Adrienne Arsht paid hedge fund titan Ken Griffin for $107 million, or $5,635 per square foot. is the top of the mix sold in Feet, last summer.
Although it has its own record, this Bay Point closing is a 30% reduction from its original $55 million list price. But because the buyer also bought furniture and art, Coldwell Banker’s Ana Teresa Rodriguez, who sealed the record deal, assured the seller they got what they wanted.
