Highland Park, Waxahachie homes among the state’s most expensive new listings in October

Five North Texas homes ranked among the priciest new listings in Texas in October.

Three high-end homes in Highland Park and two in Ellis County were among the most expensive residential properties to hit the market in the state last month, according to a monthly list from the Houston Association of Realtors that uses information from listing services throughout the state, such as North Texas Real Estate Information Systems.

The list is compiled before the end of the month, so the October list may include some homes that hit the market in the last days of September.

It also does not include homes put on the market and removed within the same month, such as the five-bedroom home at 3616 Crescent Ave. in University Park that listed for $32 million last month, but according to Compass, was later pulled from the market. That home would have easily topped the list.

A five-bedroom, 9,832-square-foot home at 4350 Rheims Place in Highland Park was listed for about $13 million. At No. 3 on the list, it was topped by two homes along the Colorado River in Austin for $18.9 million and $13.5 million.

The Rheims Place home was followed by 4237 Arcady Ave., also in Highland Park. The five-bedroom, 7,091-square-foot “European soft-contemporary” home is listed for $12.5 million.

A $10 million listing at 400 Victorian Drive in Waxahachie, the highest-priced listing ever for the southern-sector city and a giant with 22,000 square feet, ranked No. 7. The highlight of the home is a 65,000-gallon indoor pool with an adjacent living space and kitchen.

Back in Highland Park, a five-bedroom stucco-and-limestone home built in 2021 at 4408 Lorraine Ave. ranked No. 9 at $9.7 million.

Ellis County had one more listing rank on the state level, a 10,000-plus-square-foot lake home on 116 acres at 430A Chaparall Road in Ferris at No. 10.

Two homes in Houston made the list, one in the River Oaks neighborhood west of downtown and one further west near the Houston Country Club.
