Elton John’s Atlanta home, known for its flamboyant flair, has just fetched a whopping $7.22 million, soaring 45% above its initial asking price — and not long after listing for sale.
The listing agent, Chase Mizell of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty, confirmed the sale to the Wall Street Journal.
The “Rocket Man” singer had long utilized this opulent condo as his American pied-à-terre.
The residence hit the market in September, right on the heels of his unforgettable farewell tour, with an asking price of $4.99 million.
Mizell, the real estate maestro behind this sale, remained tight-lipped about the buyer’s identity but revealed the purchaser was a local — and, perhaps most impressively, paid the entire sum in cash.
