Updated August 2026

What can a buyer's agent at 2727 Kirby prove?
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.
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.
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 exposure or one floor plan get a specific answer instead of a general one.
What does a market this thin mean for a buyer?
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.
None of those measures describes competition among buyers. Time is on your side, and the list price is an opening position rather than a verdict. You can see what is available, wait for the right exposure and floor plan, and negotiate on the one that fits.
It also means the comparable set behind any offer will be small: usually three or four closed sales with the same exposure, floor plan and level of finish, some of them more than a year old. 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, and that movement is arithmetic rather than economic. Judge a specific home against the closed sales most like it, and know what each of them included, down to the parking.
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.
The instrument that answers it for a specific home is the recorded declaration together with its plats, which describe the boundaries of every unit. The fee is answered by four association documents, any of which can be requested during an option period: the resale certificate, the current budget, the assessment history including special assessments, and the minutes of recent board meetings.
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 here?
From the county, 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. An amendment recorded in August 2021 is indexed as the tenth amendment to this condominium's declaration and described as concerning the reallocation of parking spaces, so the assignment described in a listing is not necessarily the assignment in the current document. Read them in order and confirm the spaces described for the specific unit. The Harris County Clerk's real property index is free to search by file number.
From the association, the same four documents: the resale certificate, the current budget, the assessment history including special assessments, and recent board minutes. 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 at this building. 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.
Why does correcting our own unit count matter to a buyer?
Because it is the clearest test of whether an answer is being read or repeated. 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 count is not trivia for a buyer. 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, because none of the per-square-foot figures in circulation is the association's statement. 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 buyer's agent in 2727 Kirby?
Paige Martin of Real Broker, LLC. 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.
That count is the whole of the claim: the number of times we have closed a transaction inside these thirty storeys, in a building where fewer than ten homes have sold in any of the last ten years. 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 that 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. 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. Weigh that last part when you compare agents. Someone who will correct a figure they published will also tell you what the record does not say about the specific home you are considering.
Do I need my own agent if I already found a home for sale at 2727 Kirby?
You will still want someone answering to you. Buyers here ask specific things before booking a showing: what the maintenance fee actually covers, which floor plans have an elevator that opens into the unit, which exposures face downtown and which face west into the afternoon sun, and how the garage and valet work.
The rest of that list is just as specific: whether the guest suites can be reserved, what the pet policy is, and how the building compares with the Huntingdon, the Royalton and Montebello. A listing page is not the place those get settled. The architects' own description splits the homes into residences and estates, with estate owners having an elevator that delivers them into their unit, and no public source found for this site says which homes are which. The recorded declaration and its plats describe the boundaries of every unit, so that is the instrument that answers it for one specific home. The fee waits on four association documents: the resale certificate, the current budget, the assessment history including special assessments, and the minutes of recent board meetings. Someone should be pulling those on your behalf and telling you where a published figure has no source behind it. If you want the longer version of what to ask before you commit to anyone, read our answer on choosing an agent at 2727 Kirby.
What should my agent be doing during the option period at 2727 Kirby?
Reading documents and handing them to you. Four from the association answer the fee: the resale certificate, the current budget, the assessment history including special assessments, and the minutes of recent board meetings. From the county, the recorded declaration and its amendments, read in order, answer the floor plan and the parking.
Read together, the association's four documents 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 matters at this building because of its history. 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, retained as engineer of record for the replacement guardrails, records completion in 2013 and all issues rectified in 2014. The useful question is not whether a tower of this age had defects, since many did, but what the association spent resolving them and what the reserve position looks like now. On the county side, an amendment recorded in August 2021 is indexed as the tenth amendment to this condominium's declaration and described as concerning the reallocation of parking spaces, so a listing written from an older document can be honestly wrong. Confirm the spaces described for the specific unit before the option period ends rather than after.
How should my agent back up an offer price when so few homes sell here?
From closed sales, not averages. The comparable set at this building is usually three or four closed sales with the same exposure, floor plan and level of finish, some reaching back more than a year. The median at $1,512,500 and the average at $566 per square foot do not value a specific home.
The building-wide figures still tell you what kind of negotiation you are in. As of August 2026 the median home went under contract in 70 days, closings ran at 89.7 percent of the final list price, and supply stood at 18.0 months of inventory, all measured across sales since February 2026. None of that describes competition among buyers, so the asking price is an opening position rather than a verdict, and you have time to wait for the right floor plan and exposure. What your agent has to add is what each comparable sale actually included, down to the parking, and how it differed from the home you are considering on floor, exposure and finish. With 4 closings across the trailing twelve months, one sale entering or leaving that window moves several building-wide figures at once, and the movement is arithmetic rather than economic. Ask which sales were used and ask to see them. The figures behind that judgement, with the window they cover named beside them, sit in the market update for this building.
How do I find out what my current home is worth before I buy at 2727 Kirby?
Ask us for a home valuation of the home you own now. A building-wide median drawn from 4 closings across twelve months moves when the mix of homes that happened to close changes, not when your home changes, so it is a poor starting point for one specific home.
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, and how far each closed below its final asking price. It also has to account for the marketing period, which at this building runs to a 70 days median with closings at 89.7 percent of final list against 18.0 months of inventory, so the selling side is measured in months rather than weeks. That timing is the part buyers here usually underestimate, because the two decisions have to line up. 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 the home you own 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. We publish no figure for the monthly assessment at 2727 Kirby, because none of the figures in print is the association's own statement.
