A Los Angeles megamansion that's been sitting on the market for two years just upped its price by almost $20 million, Barron's reported.

The seven-bedroom Beverly Hills home was first put on the market for $100 million in 2017. It's now asking $79.9 million, or $19.9 million more than the $59.9 million it had been listed for since May 2019.

Since it was first listed, developer Nile Niami, known for building extravagant Los Angeles megamansions on spec, has slashed the home's price several times, first by $15 million, then again by another $20 million. In May, he reduced it again by another $5.1 million.

According to the house's listing agents, Rayni and Branden Williams of Williams and Williams, Niami saw a change in the market and felt like the home was worth more than $59.9 million.

"The plot of land next door sold for $30 million and the land across the street sold for $25.5 million having no homes on them," listing agent Rayni Williams of Williams and Williams told Business Insider. "For that reason Mr. Niami raised his price."

Branden Williams told The Real Deal that "just to get dirt up here is roughly 30 million bucks. The value keeps peaking and [Niami felt] that the property should be worth more, so that's why he changed the price."

The price increase comes amid a surplus of luxury real estate across the US.

As Business Insider's Hillary Hoffower recently reported, Los Angeles mansions, New York City penthouses, Miami condos, and luxury ranches out west aren't selling.

This abundance of high-end real estate could be a red flag for an upcoming recession.

"If high-income consumers pull back any further on their spending, it will be a significant threat to the economic expansion," Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, told CNBC.
