The most expensive homes listed in Texas during October reached a combined total of more than $236 million, according to data from the Houston Association of Realtors. This marks the highest top-10 listing sum for any month this year, narrowly surpassing March’s total of $234 million.
Among the notable properties is the Preston Hollow home of late oil tycoon Cary Maquire at 4606 Park Lane, which was relisted for $28.5 million after being on the market last month.
A newly built mansion by former Google director Jon Venverloh is also featured among the top listings. The 10,500-square-foot property at 6901 Hunters Glen Road in University Park is priced at $26 million, or $2,500 per square foot. Developed by Venus Development Group, which Venverloh started before retiring from Google in 2019, the home includes an almost one-acre lot, an infinity-edge pool, and a reclaimed tile roof. Chad Barrett with Allie Beth Allman holds the listing.
