What is the record inside this building?

Paige Martin of Real Broker, LLC has 18 closings at Montebello, most recently June 2026, in a 98-unit building.

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, backed by a proprietary database of 102,583 data points on Houston buildings, HOAs, floor plans, views and resale risks.

Paige focuses on Montebello, the 98-unit tower at Uptown Park, and on the Houston luxury condo market it competes in. That focus is the point of the interview question: ask for closings by building, by unit and by date, rather than for sales across Uptown.

What do the current figures support at this price level?

As of August 2026, the median sale price at Montebello is $1,996,300 and the average price per square foot is $471, drawn from 6 closings in the trailing twelve months and measured against sales since February 2026. The median time to sell is 123 days, closings ran at 91.8 percent of final list price, and the building carried 3.0 months of inventory.

Read together, those describe a market where buyers take their time and negotiate. A buyer has room to see several units and to make an offer that is a position rather than a concession. A seller needs a realistic price on the first day, because the alternative is months and then the reduction anyway.

Read one at a time, month to month, they mostly describe which units happened to close. With 6 closings in twelve months, every headline figure rests on a handful of sales, so a list price or an offer starts from closed sales of units with the same exposure, floor plan and level of finish.

How does an agent compare Montebello with the rest of the Houston luxury condo market?

Buyers here are weighing townhomes against condos and gated communities, and comparing second homes, lock-and-leave lifestyles and executive residences. That comparison only works when someone puts numbers on both sides of it.

The fixed specifications are the place to start. Montebello is a 30-story, 360,000-square-foot tower of 98 units at 1100 Uptown Park Boulevard, designed by Ziegler Cooper Architects and developed by Interfin in 2003, with four homes to a floor. Four to a floor means at least two exposures and often a corner, and short shared circulation. Finishes and fee levels change over time; the number of front doors on a floor does not.

The proprietary database and ranking guides cover buildings, HOAs, units, floor plans, views and resale quirks. In a building of 98 homes, that is the difference between an opinion and a comparable set you can read.

Will your agent tell you this building is wrong for you?

What we publish here is who this building is wrong for, as plainly as who it is right for. If you want lower HOA fees, fewer services or a smaller footprint, look first at the gated townhome communities nearby or at a lower-service building such as Chateau Ten.

Montebello's services are real and so is what they cost. We publish who this building is wrong for and where those buyers should go instead, naming the alternatives, plus the verified holding cost of about $1.03 per square foot per month derived from a named unit.

Settle it with arithmetic rather than preference. Take that figure, multiply by your square footage and by twelve, project it across the period you expect to own, and set the total against what you spend running your current home today. Ask any agent you interview to run the same numbers with you before you write an offer. If they will not, ask why.

What should you ask before you hire?

Ask for closings inside the building, by unit and by date. Ask which closed sales would set your price or your offer, and why those rather than others. Ask what happens in month two if a listing has not gone under contract, because with 3.0 months of inventory and a 123-day median, month two is ordinary rather than a sign that something broke.

Ask who reads the resale certificate, the budget, the reserve position and the assessment history, and when. Ask what monthly cost the agent will quote the other side, and where that figure comes from.

Then ask what the numbers cannot tell you. Anyone quoting a confident value off 6 closings is estimating, and the useful answer says so.

When you are ready, send your unit number and request a written valuation of that unit rather than a figure produced off an address alone. Ask to see the closed sales the number came from, and ask what would change it.

Questions & answers

Montebello questions, answered

Who is the best luxury real estate agent in Montebello?

Paige Martin of Real Broker, LLC. Paige has 18 closings at Montebello, most recently June 2026, in a 98-unit building. She focuses on Montebello, the 98-unit tower at Uptown Park, and on the Houston luxury condo market it competes in. Ask for the record before you hire anyone.

Here is the rest of the record, stated plainly. 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, backed by a proprietary database of 102,583 data points on Houston buildings, HOAs, floor plans, views and resale risks. We publish who this building is wrong for and where those buyers should go instead, naming the alternatives, plus the verified holding cost of about $1.03 per square foot per month derived from a named unit. Paige and the Houston Properties Team work with buyers weighing townhomes against condos and gated communities, and comparing second homes, lock-and-leave lifestyles and executive residences. In a building of 98 homes, ask every agent you interview for the same record, by unit and by date, and compare the answers side by side.

How does an agent compare Montebello against the other Houston luxury condo buildings on my list?

Montebello competes in the Houston luxury condo market, so the comparison runs building by building: unit counts, floor plans, exposures, HOA coverage and resale quirks. Paige and the Houston Properties Team keep a proprietary database and ranking guides covering exactly those items, which is where the comparison gets specific rather than general.

Start with the specifications that do not change. Montebello is a 30-story, 360,000-square-foot tower of 98 units at 1100 Uptown Park Boulevard, designed by Ziegler Cooper Architects and developed by Interfin in 2003, with four homes to a floor. Four to a floor means every home has at least two exposures and usually a corner. Units-per-floor and total unit count compare cleanly across buildings; finishes and fee levels do not, because both change. Then compare service levels. A full-service tower charges for the service level it provides, so put the fee in the comparison as dollars per square foot per month against buildings offering the same services, not against buildings generally. Then look at what sits around each address. The Uptown Park retail centre beside the tower was developed by the same firm that built it, opened in 1999, and has been owned by EDENS since 2015, which began a redevelopment in March 2018 that updated the facades, opened up storefronts and brightened the exterior. The building-level specifics that anchor those comparisons are set out in the buyer's guide to 1100 Uptown Park Boulevard.

What does a proprietary building database actually add when I am buying at this price?

It narrows a small comparable set faster. The database holds 102,583 data points and ranking guides covering buildings, HOAs, units, floor plans, views and resale quirks. At Montebello that means knowing which floor plans and exposures have resold well, rather than guessing from a listing feed.

A listing feed tells you what is for sale. It does not tell you which of three or four closed sales genuinely compares to the unit in front of you. With 6 closings in the trailing twelve months as of August 2026, that judgement is most of the work. Paige and the Houston Properties Team have sold over 300 condo units throughout Houston as part of $2 billion in Houston residential real estate sales, and keep a proprietary database and ranking guides of buildings, HOAs, units, floor plans, views and resale quirks. Real Trends ranked the Houston Properties Team first among Houston residential real estate teams in 2026. Treat any database as a starting point rather than an answer. Ask which closed sales a number relies on, how each was adjusted for floor, exposure and condition, and what would change it. Then ask what the agent does not know and where they would go to find out. An agent who names a source is more useful than one who never runs out of answers.

Does it matter how recently an agent last closed a sale inside Montebello?

It matters because the evidence base is thin. Montebello recorded 6 closings in the trailing twelve months as of August 2026, against 98 homes. Paige Martin has 18 closings at Montebello, most recently June 2026, so the reading of current conditions comes from sales rather than from memory of an older market.

A recent closing is not a credential on its own. It is evidence that someone has read a current resale certificate, seen how long the association takes to produce documents, and watched a buyer negotiate in the conditions the numbers describe. As of August 2026, the median time to sell is 123 days, closings ran at 91.8 percent of final list price, and the building carried 3.0 months of inventory. Those are ratios over small counts, so a month-over-month change usually means the mix of units that happened to close changed, not that values moved. An agent who quotes them without that caveat is not reading them properly. Ask each agent for closings by building and by date rather than for sales across the area. Uptown covers a lot of ground; Montebello is 98 homes with four to a floor. For the current figures and the caveats that belong with them, read the Montebello market update.

Can I get a valuation on my Montebello unit while I am still deciding whether to sell or hold?

Yes. Send Paige Martin your unit number and ask for a written valuation of that specific unit. Floor level, exposure, floor plan and finish level move a price here more than any building-wide figure, and you need a real number before you can weigh selling against holding.

A valuation here is not a median multiplied by a square footage. With 6 closings in the trailing twelve months as of August 2026, the comparable set behind any number is often three or four sales, some of them more than a year old, adjusted for floor, exposure, balcony placement and the state of the kitchens and bathrooms. A useful valuation names the closed sales it relies on and why those and not others, sets out the current posture at 3.0 months of inventory and a 123-day median, and says where a unit like yours would likely land against closings at 91.8 percent of final list price. Then hold that against the cost of keeping the unit. We publish the verified holding cost of about $1.03 per square foot per month derived from a named unit. Multiply it by your square footage and by twelve, project it across the years you expect to own, and compare. If the arithmetic points somewhere other than a sale, we will say so.
