Sales of ultra-luxury L.A. homes have slowed, but they haven’t slowed to a stop.

October’s top five L.A. County residential sales all topped $10 million, and the priciest came in at a cool $100 million, according to The Real Deal’s research.

On the whole, sale prices continue to inch up across the region due to a prolonged period of low inventory, according to a recent report by Douglas Elliman. The third quarter of 2016 saw single-digit jumps in both pricing and velocity. Still, luxury homes sat on the market for 12 percent, or 10 days, longer than they did last year.

Here are last month’s top five sales.

Tom Gores’ $100 million deal for a spec home in Holmby Hills took the top spot in October.

Developer Gala Asher bought the 2.17 acre lot in Holmby Hills that formerly housed Barbara Streisand’s “Mon Rêve” estate for $13.25 million in 2014.
