Last month’s most expensive Houston home sales range from a grand estate in the heart of River Oaks to an opulent condominium in The Huntingdon high-rise.

The agent with the most $1 million-plus listings was Laura Sweeney of COMPASS RE Texas, who accomplished a sales volume of over $71.8 million across 19 transactions.

Agents from Moreland Properties are responsible for the most expensive and second-most expensive new listings in the state of Texas.

The median existing-home price for all housing types in September was $394,300, up 2.8% from $383,500 in September 2022.   

Specifically, single-family homes were built at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 963,000, up 3.2% from 933,000 in August and up 8.6% from 887,000 a year earlier, according to government figures.
