Some of the most interesting homes for sale this month will not change hands through a quiet negotiation, but under a gavel in Mayfair. On 2 November Concierge Auctions announced a two-evening London Global Sale with properties across North America and Europe that it values at more than US$145 million, according to the auction house's release.
Two nights, two rooms
Day one is 17 November at Sotheby's London on New Bond Street; day two is 20 November at The Connaught. Receptions begin at 6pm, the auction at 7pm, and bidding is also streamed on Concierge's website. Online bidding on individual lots opens on staggered dates from 4 November. Highlights from the catalogue:
- Longboat Key, Florida: nearly two Gulf-front acres with an architectural estate under construction by Sweet Sparkman, listed at US$38.45 million.
- Gilbert, Arizona: a furnished 4.36-acre sports, wellness and entertainment compound, listed at US$20 million, with starting bids expected from US$5 million.
- Hewlett Bay Park, New York: The Snapple House, with 240 feet of waterfront and a private dock, listed at US$15 million.
- Korčula, Croatia: Diamond Villa, two connected contemporary residences, each with a terrace and infinity pool, listed at €4.5 million.
- Near Lisbon, Portugal: Quinta das Oliveiras, a house built in 2025 with equestrian facilities on 20,700 square metres, listed at €3.5 million.
Listed price versus starting bid
The release gives two numbers for most lots: a listed price and a range in which starting bids are expected. The gap can be wide. The Snapple House is listed at US$15 million with starting bids expected at US$3.5 to 5 million. Penthouse 63 at Chicago's Park Tower, a full floor of more than 8,000 square feet over Lake Michigan, is listed at US$5.9 million with starting bids expected at US$2 to 3 million. A starting bid is not a forecast of the final price.
An auction does not make a house cheap. It turns the seller's deadline into the buyer's leverage.
Before you raise a paddle
- Ask for the full terms: the release does not state buyer's premiums or conditions, and they change the real cost.
- See it first: Concierge offers in-person and virtual previews by appointment.
- Line up financing and due diligence, including survey, title and any local rules for foreign buyers, before bidding day, not after.
- Talk to a lawyer and tax adviser in the property's country. This is editorial coverage, not investment advice.
Key takeaways
- Concierge Auctions announced a two-evening London Global Sale on 2 November, with a collection it values at over US$145 million.
- Day one is 17 November at Sotheby's London; day two is 20 November at The Connaught, Mayfair.
- The top lot is a Gulf-front estate under construction on Longboat Key, Florida, listed at US$38.45 million.
- Expected starting bids sit well below listed prices; buyer's premiums and terms are not in the release.
