This Week in Houston Real Estate: Mansion auctions, apartment acquisitions and more

by Lauren Clohessy

Primary Luxury Auctions is putting another mansion in the Woodlands up for auction. According to the company, the $6.75 million mansion will be sold without a reserve on Saturday, August 18. The mansion, located on 1.5 acres of land in the Carlton Woods area of The Woodlands, was built in 2016 with five bedrooms (with a room that could be a sixth), eight full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, a two-car garage, outdoor infinity pool and various other amenities. Seeing a luxury mansion sold in auction became a common situation in the Houston area since the decline in the oil industry, according to the Houston Business Journal.
