Ranking Houston’s top 10 home sales in June

The Memorial neighborhood dominated the top ten list of priciest homes sold in Greater Houston in June.

The west Houston neighborhood had five mansions change hands, notching the top deal at $7.9 million and more than $24 million in total volume, according to data compiled by the Houston Association of Realtors.

Memorial has by far the largest collection of large, pricey homes in the Bayou City. The neighborhood could set the record for the most expensive home ever sold in Houston if Colleen Holthouse-Romanov’s nine-acre The Lodge at Hunters Creek Village sells for its $60 million ask.

River Oaks had two sales among June’s top 10, one listed at $5.9 million and the other for $5.5 million. The neighborhood could claim a prominent spot on next month’s list if an $18 million mansion that just hit the market snags its list price.

Outside of Houston proper, there were two homes that made the list: a $6.5 million home in Cypress and a $4.5 million property in Woodlands. Harris County was home to nine out of the top ten expensive homes sold in the area. The other is in nearby Montgomery County.

Agents from Compass Realty sold six of the top 10, including the most expensive home.

The data was collected by the Houston Association of Realtors based on list prices and doesn’t include off-market deals. Here are the top five:
