How MLS data and offer rules shape a relist
Relisting a Home at 2727 Kirby: Pricing Data, Offers and Timing
Updated October 2026
Why isn't my home at 2727 Kirby selling, and when should I lower the price?
As of October 2026, a 2727 Kirby home took a median 40 days to reach contract, so lower the price when closed comparables say it is high, not by the calendar.

How long does a sale at 2727 Kirby usually take?
At 2727 Kirby, the median home needed 40 days to reach an executed contract, as of October 2026. The building carried 21.0 months of inventory. Only 4 homes closed in the trailing twelve months, and no year in the last ten reached double figures.
Read together, those numbers describe a building where a long stretch on the market is ordinary. A first listing that expired unsold is the building's usual pace, so the calendar alone says little about whether the price was right.
With so few closings, a single sale moving in or out of the twelve-month window can swing the median and the inventory figure together. Watch the matched sales, not the monthly swings.
Why can the sale-to-list ratio look better than a reduced listing really did?
Closings here landed at 93.2 percent of the final asking price, as of October 2026. The divisor is the last price on the listing, so any reduction made before the contract has already been absorbed.
A home that dropped its price twice and then sold near the third number still scores well on that ratio. For a seller relisting, the useful comparison runs from each sale's first ask to its closed price, one sale at a time.
Which sales should the new price be built from?
Start with the closed sales most like your home on floor, exposure, floor plan and finish. At this building that set is usually three or four sales, and some will be more than a year old.
The building median of $1,300,000 and the average of $576 per square foot blend small plans with large ones and original interiors with renovated ones. They can flag an asking price that looks far off. They cannot value a particular home.
Check what each comparable included, down to its parking. Spaces at this condominium were reallocated by a recorded amendment indexed in August 2021, so a listing copied from older paperwork can describe the wrong spaces. Confirm the recorded allocation for your unit before the new listing is written.
What do the Texas Real Estate Research Center's statistics count?
The Texas Real Estate Research Center builds its housing statistics from listing data drawn from over 50 MLS systems in Texas. The Texas Real Estate Research Center also states that existing home sales negotiated outside the MLS are not included in its dataset.
By that rule, a 2727 Kirby sale arranged outside the MLS would be missing from the Texas Real Estate Research Center's figures. When a regional reading and this building's numbers disagree, differences in what each set counts are one place to look before deciding a relisted price is wrong.
What does Texas Real Estate Commission guidance say about weighing several offers?
The Texas Real Estate Commission's guidance for license holders says nothing prohibits presenting more than one offer at a time to a seller. The same guidance says a seller may receive, review and negotiate several offers simultaneously.
For a relisted home, a second buyer who appears during a negotiation can be weighed alongside the first. Compare each offer's price and terms against the matched closed sales before you answer either one.
A seller may receive, review and negotiate several offers simultaneously.
When does a price cut make sense?
Tie a reduction to evidence, not to a date on the calendar. Lower the price when the matched closed sales no longer support the number you are asking.
At a 40-day median, holding above that level means carrying the home longer and still making the cut later. Ask the listing agent for the matched sales, what each included, and how far each closed below its final asking price. If your number sits well above theirs, that gap is the case for a cut.

Questions & answers
2727 Kirby questions, answered
Does my listing agent have to show me every offer, even a low one?
Yes. The Texas Real Estate Commission's guidance for license holders says the listing agent represents the seller and has a duty to present all offers to the seller in a timely manner. The duty covers all offers, so a bid well under your asking price still reaches you. Whether you counter, decline or accept it remains your decision.
On a relisted condo at 2727 Kirby, a low offer still carries useful information. With 4 closings in the trailing twelve months, a written bid is one of the few direct readings of what a buyer will pay for your plan and exposure. Ask your agent to put each offer in front of you with its full terms, not only its price. That means the financing, the option period, the closing date and any requests about parking or association documents. Then set the number against the closed sales most like your home before you reply.
Can an agent tell a buyer I would take less than my asking price?
Not under the intermediary rule without your written authorization. Texas Real Estate Commission guidance says the intermediary, and any associated license holders the intermediary broker appoints, are prohibited from disclosing that the seller will accept less than the asking price. The same rule bars them from disclosing that a buyer will pay more than the price in a written offer.
The rule is stated for the intermediary and the license holders that broker appoints. Ask your agent at the outset whether that arrangement could apply to your sale, so you know which rule governs the conversations around your listing. For a relisting at 2727 Kirby, the practical step is deciding what, if anything, you authorize in writing. Price flexibility you have not authorized stays private under that rule. Your reasons for accepting a lower number belong in the conversation with your own agent, built on the matched closed sales.
When do the Houston numbers for last month come out?
The Texas Real Estate Research Center says its statistics for the Houston metro area are released on or near the 40th calendar day after month end. A month's regional figures therefore arrive more than five weeks after that month closes. Keep that lag in mind before reading them as the latest word on a price decision.
Regional figures and this building's figures run on different clocks. The numbers for 2727 Kirby are stated as of October 2026, and the sale-price window opens in April 2026. A metro series also describes a far larger market than one tower with 4 closings over twelve months. For a seller choosing a relist price, the lag means a metro reading describes conditions from a month or more back. Treat it as background. Let the closed sales in this building that match your home on floor, exposure, plan and finish set the number.
Can I compare 2727 Kirby with the 77098 zip code in state housing data?
You can look. The Texas Real Estate Research Center says the geographies in its housing activity data include zip codes and neighborhoods, among others, and 2727 Kirby sits in the 77098 zip code. A zip code figure blends this tower with the other homes around it. It describes the surroundings rather than your unit.
The building's own figures are narrower. As of October 2026, the median sale price here was $1,300,000, and a square foot averaged $576. Closings ran at 93.2 percent of the final asking price. Those rest on very few sales, so a zip code median and the building median can differ widely. Use the wider figure to see whether the area is moving at all. Use the building figures to see how this tower negotiates. The price on a relisted home still comes from matched closed sales inside the building.
What should I bring to a pricing review before I relist?
Bring your unit number and a list of what has been renovated and when. Add the dates and amounts of each price change on the first listing, and anything the association has told owners about upcoming work. Include what you know about your recorded parking, so the new number can be tested against sales that truly match your home.
