Some high-profile residential properties have sold this year, carrying with them some equally impressive price tags.
For instance, there was the Cornelius mansion along the shores of Lake Norman that traded hands for $4 million in February. That European-style property on Connor Quay Court came to fame after its appearance in "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" — as the residence of Will Ferrell's character, Ricky Bobby, in the NASCAR spoof.
