The Bay Area housing market is bleak.

As Business Insider previously reported, even tech workers (who are generally paid well) say they are being priced out. And yet, extravagant properties just keep hitting the market.

In November, an estate that spans nearly 220,000 square feet in Ross, a town just north of San Francisco, was listed for $85 million, according to Mansion Global.

That price tag makes it the most expensive current listing in the area. It is currently priced at more than double the area's real-estate record. The home that holds the record was initially listed for $42 million and ultimately sold for $38 million. Another home, 950 Lombard, has been on track to break the record at its current reduced $40.5 million asking price, as previously reported by Business Insider.

If the property sells for anywhere near the asking price of $85 million, it will dwarf the current San Francisco-area real-estate record of $38 million.
