A 2015-built Atherton mansion quietly traded hands for $32.5 million at the end of March, slipping into the national spotlight as one of the 10 priciest U.S. home sales that month. The three-story estate at 190 Almendral Avenue, long tied to tech investor David Sacks, is the latest reminder that Silicon Valley’s ultra-luxury pocket is still writing big checks while national chatter fixates on even splashier Florida buys.
Public records show the sale was recorded on March 30, 2026, with Sunny Residential Property LLC listed as the buyer and Fairview Ave. Holdings LLC as the seller, according to Palo Alto Online. County filings and real estate databases such as Redfin show the roughly 11,504-square-foot home, built in 2015, closed at $32,500,000. That price put the deal at No. 9 on Redfin’s list of the most expensive U.S. home sales in March.
Where this sale fits locally
Atherton’s luxury market is tiny, but every listing is a heavyweight. Realtor.com pegs the town’s median listing price at about $12.75 million, with median sold prices in the mid-eight figures as of April 2026. With only a small number of active listings at any given time, a single eight-figure closing can nudge local comparables and ripple through pricing on nearby properties. That tight supply is a big part of why a $32.5 million sale in Atherton lands on national rankings even as Florida megadeals steal most of the headlines.
