What can an agent prove if you are selling one home and buying another here?
Two things, and both are checkable: how many times they have closed inside this building, and which document each of their answers comes from.
Paige Martin's record at this address is 18 closings at 2727 Kirby, most recently April 2026. She focuses on 2727 Kirby, the 30-story condominium tower on Kirby Drive just south of Westheimer, and on the Inner Loop high-rise market it competes in. Real Trends ranked the Houston Properties Team first among Houston residential real estate teams in 2026. Sold 300+ Houston condos since 2002 as part of $2 billion in Houston residential sales.
Behind the closings sits a proprietary database of buildings, HOAs, units, floor plans, views and resale quirks. That is the part that lets a question about one floor plan or one exposure get a specific answer instead of an answer about Houston.
Fewer than ten homes have sold in this building in any of the last ten years, so a working history here is measured in a handful of transactions rather than in dozens a year. An agent who has never closed inside the building is not disqualified, but they will be learning the floor plans, the exposures and the parking allocations on your transaction rather than before it.
How do the current figures affect both sides of the move?
As of August 2026 the median sale price at 2727 Kirby is $1,512,500 and the average is $566 per square foot, drawn from 4 closings across the trailing twelve months. The median home took 70 days to go under contract, closings ran at 89.7 percent of the final list price, and supply stood at 18.0 months of inventory, measured against sales since February 2026.
For the purchase, none of that describes competition among buyers. The asking price is an opening position rather than a verdict, and there is room to see what is available, wait for the right exposure and floor plan, and negotiate on the one that fits. The other side of the same fact is that the choice in any given month may be a handful of homes or none.
For the sale, the first price carries more weight than it would elsewhere. The sale-to-list ratio is measured against the final asking price, so a home that was already reduced does not show the whole gap between the original ask and the eventual sale, and an optimistic opening price costs months of carrying cost and then the reduction anyway.
With this few sales, one home entering or leaving the twelve-month window moves the median, the price per square foot and the inventory ratio at once. That movement is arithmetic rather than economic, which is why nobody can price a specific home from the building-wide average. Expect a comparable set of three or four closed sales with the same exposure, floor plan and level of finish, some of them more than a year old.
Which questions belong to the agent rather than the listing?
Buyers at this building ask a consistent set of things before they will spend an afternoon on a showing: what the maintenance fee actually covers, which floor plans have an elevator that opens into the unit and which share one, which exposures look toward downtown and which face west into the afternoon sun, how the garage and the valet work, whether the guest suites can be reserved, what the pet policy is, and how the building compares with the Huntingdon, the Royalton and Montebello.
Ask those of the agent, then ask where each answer came from. The architects' own description separates residences from estates, with estate owners having an elevator that delivers them into their unit, but no public source found for this site says which homes are which. Published size ranges do not agree either: an archived architects' page gives 1,250 to 6,100 square feet across one-, two- and three-bedroom plans, while a current building page gives about 2,400 to more than 4,500 square feet across two- and three-bedroom plans.
If you will be listing a home of your own at the same time, put the seller's version of the list on the table in the same conversation: how the price would be derived, what condition and finish work would come first, and which closed sales support the number.
So the honest version of some answers is: here is the instrument, and here is what it does not settle. An agent who hands you that before a showing is easier to work with than one who improvises.
Which documents come before an offer and before a listing?
From the county, the recorded declaration with its plats and amendments. The condominium instrument was filed on 7 May 2009 under file number 20090193056, with a supplement filed on 4 May 2012 under file number 20120196965, and the amendments run at least to a tenth, recorded in August 2021 and indexed as concerning the reallocation of parking spaces. Read them in order and confirm the spaces described for the specific unit before the option period ends rather than after. The Harris County Clerk's real property index is free to search by file number.
From the association, four documents: the resale certificate, the current budget, the assessment history including special assessments, and the minutes of recent board meetings. Together they say what the fee buys, whether reserves are being funded or deferred, and whether a large repair is coming that would arrive later as a special assessment.
That last point has history behind it here. A sheet of glass fell from the seventh floor and damaged a car, and the investigation found defective glass balcony railings along with problems in heating and air conditioning, fire sprinklers, plumbing, electrical systems and waterproofing. Curtainwall Design Consulting was retained as engineer of record to replace the materials, records a completion date of 2013 and states that all issues were rectified in 2014. What the association spent resolving it, and what its reserves look like now, sits in its own financial records, which this page has not seen.
If the home you are selling is a condominium too, the same stacks apply on that side, and pulling them before the listing is written keeps you from answering a buyer's question with a guess.
Why does correcting our own unit count matter when you are on both sides?
Because it is the clearest test of whether an answer is being read or repeated, and you are relying on the same person twice. Four unit counts for this building are in print — 78, 90, 93 and 96 — each stated as fact, and the architects' current project page gives no count at all. The most repeated count is footnoted to a page whose archived copy says something else.
So we show why the unit count cannot be settled from any published source, name the two recorded county instruments that settle it, and publish our own correction from the 93 we had on our page. The archived version stays linked so both readings can be checked.
The count is not trivia. Common expenses, votes and reserve contributions are allocated across units by the declaration, so the number of homes is the denominator under an owner's share of the budget, of any special assessment and of the reserves. A figure nobody can source is a poor basis for any of that.
The same discipline applies to the answers that are not ready yet. The monthly assessment waits on the association's own documents. The unit count waits on the recorded declaration and its amendments, read in order. Whether the building is approved for FHA financing changes, so HUD's list is checked on the day you apply, and the single-unit approval route at 24 CFR 203.43b is read with a lender if the project is not on it. And several amenities that appear on portal pages for this building, including guest suites, a theater room, a golf simulator, a putting green and massage rooms, are not described anywhere in the architects' published account: ask the association, and see the building.
Questions & answers
2727 Kirby questions, answered
Who is the best real estate agent for buying and selling at the same time in 2727 Kirby?
Paige Martin of Real Broker, LLC works this building specifically. The record at this address: 18 closings at 2727 Kirby, most recently April 2026. Paige focuses on 2727 Kirby, the 30-story condominium tower on Kirby Drive just south of Westheimer, and on the Inner Loop high-rise market it competes in.
Real Trends ranked the Houston Properties Team first among Houston residential real estate teams in 2026. Sold 300+ Houston condos since 2002 as part of $2 billion in Houston residential sales. Behind the closings sits a proprietary database of buildings, HOAs, units, floor plans, views and resale quirks, which is what lets a question about one floor plan or one exposure get a specific answer instead of an answer about Houston. When you are handling a sale and a purchase together, that specificity does double duty: the same reading that prices your current home tells you what an offer here should rest on. Fewer than ten homes have sold in this building in any of the last ten years, so a working history here is measured in a handful of transactions rather than in dozens a year. On the documents: we show why the unit count cannot be settled from any published source, name the two recorded county instruments that settle it, and publish our own correction from the 93 we had on our page. Someone who will correct a figure they published will also tell you what the record does not say about either home.
Should one agent handle both my sale and my purchase at 2727 Kirby?
It can be the same agent, and at this building there is an argument for it: both sides run on the same small evidence base. The comparable set here is usually three or four closed sales with the same exposure, floor plan and level of finish, some reaching back more than a year.
Ask any agent for a count and a date. Ours is 18 closings at 2727 Kirby, most recently April 2026, in a building where fewer than ten homes have sold in any of the last ten years. Then ask how each price was derived, on both sides. The median at $1,512,500 and the average at $566 per square foot do not value a specific home. One agent across both transactions means one set of assumptions about timing. The median home here went under contract in 70 days, closings ran at 89.7 percent of the final list price, and supply stands at 18.0 months of inventory, so neither side is likely to be quick. If the home you own is not in this building, ask what the agent will read there too: its own closed sales, and the association documents if it is a condominium. The seller-side version of these questions is set out in our answer on choosing a listing agent at 2727 Kirby.
How much overlap should I plan between closing my sale and closing my purchase at 2727 Kirby?
Plan in months rather than weeks on both ends. As of August 2026 the median home at 2727 Kirby took 70 days to go under contract, against 18.0 months of inventory, and closings ran at 89.7 percent of the final list price. Add the option period, because the documents here take reading.
Those figures describe the building rather than any one home, and they are measured across sales since February 2026. 4 homes sold in the trailing twelve months, and fewer than ten have sold in any of the last ten years, so the choice on any given week may be a handful of homes or none. A fixed date and a specific floor plan will not always meet. On the buying side, closings at 89.7 percent of final list say the asking price is an opening position rather than a verdict, so there is usually room to negotiate. On the selling side, the same slow pace cuts the other way. An optimistic first price costs months of carrying cost and then the reduction anyway, and the sale-to-list ratio is measured against the final asking price, so a home that was already reduced does not show the whole gap between the original ask and the eventual sale. Build both marketing periods into the plan before either home is priced.
Which documents do I need on both sides if I am selling one home and buying at 2727 Kirby?
Four from the association and one set from the county, and you need them as a buyer and again as a seller. The four are the resale certificate, the current budget, the assessment history including special assessments, and recent board minutes. The county set is the recorded declaration with its plats and amendments.
The declaration describes the boundaries of every unit it creates, so it answers a question about a floor plan, and it is where a parking assignment lives. The condominium instrument was filed on 7 May 2009 under file number 20090193056, with a supplement filed on 4 May 2012 under file number 20120196965, and an amendment recorded in August 2021 is indexed as the tenth amendment and described as concerning the reallocation of parking spaces. Read them in order and confirm the spaces described for the specific unit, because a listing written from an older document can be honestly wrong. The association's four documents say what the monthly fee buys, whether reserves are being funded or deferred, and whether a large repair is coming that would arrive later as a special assessment. We publish no figure for the assessment here, because none of the figures in print is the association's own statement. If the home you own is also a condominium, the same two stacks apply there. The Harris County Clerk's real property index is free to search by file number, and the file numbers for this building sit in our page on how many homes this building contains.
What do you need from me to value my current home and support an offer at 2727 Kirby at the same time?
Two things: a home valuation of the home you own now, and the closed sales behind an offer here. Request a home valuation, tell us the address, what has been renovated and when, and anything the association has told owners about upcoming work if that home is a condominium.
We will come back with the comparable sales we used, what each one included, and the documents we still need before pricing is final. A valuation is a short piece of work with a small evidence base: the closed sales that resemble your home, what each of them included down to the parking, and how far each closed below its final asking price. It is not a building-wide average. The median here rests on 4 closings across twelve months as of August 2026, so it moves when the mix of homes that happened to close changes rather than when your home changes. The valuation also has to account for the marketing period, which at a 70 days median and closings at 89.7 percent of final list is measured in months rather than weeks, against 18.0 months of inventory. On the buying side we publish no figure for the monthly assessment at 2727 Kirby; that answer waits on the resale certificate, the current budget, the assessment history and recent board minutes.
