Over $43 million in total sales and an 87.5 percent sell through rate -- including many owned by household names -- sold during live auction

Leading global firm Concierge Auctions announced seven successful auctions at its annual January Sale in Arizona. The sale concluded January 31 —  with over $43 million in total sales and an 87.5 percent sell through rate —  at a live event held at The Phoenician, one of Scottsdale's most luxurious resorts. The collection of top-tier properties featured three homes local to Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, one of which was owned by former Magellan Fund Manager Peter Lynch and another by MLB legend Randy Johnson. Most notably, the auction of Villa Paradiso — formerly Arizona's most expensive listing — when closed will set the record for the highest sale price ever in Paradise Valley.

Highlights from Concierge Auctions' January Sale in Arizona include:

Villa Paradiso — Paradise Valley, Arizona

Previously listed as the most expensive home in Arizona for $35 million, Villa Paradiso achieved the highest sale price in Paradise Valley in the past decade. The estate also sold as the highest residential sale in Arizona in the last year, marketed in cooperation with Sandra Wilken of Sandra Wilken Properties.

The 30,858-square-foot estate — designed by renowned architect and planner Vernon D. Swaback, an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright — offers expansive views of the exclusive Paradise Valley and boasts numerous amenities including custom-built spaces to house art and automobile collections.

"I am very pleased with the Concierge Auctions team's work," said seller Sussman. "Their efforts did a great job fleshing out not only national prospects, but also those in the local market. In the end, the team was able to achieve a great result in a difficult market, and the home sold for the highest price ever in Paradise Valley."
