Buying a condo in The Arabella can be tricky given the building’s design – higher floor units have larger floor plans, some units have private elevator entries, and certain views are superior to others affecting the value of the units.
There are no historical sales trends (like you can find from some of Houston’s top performing luxury condos) because it is a new construction building. The Inner Loop is also home to numerous condo and loft buildings, each with its own pros and cons. An Arabella condo buyer would benefit from a good realtor’s advice, specially on how the building and unit compares to other residential condos in the district.
“Paige Martin and her team are THE condo experts in Houston. Paige has literally written the book (The Definitive Houston Condo Buying Guide) about buying a condo in Houston. They know what buildings to avoid, what floor plans to be wary about, and they have relationships to help with off market inventory and sales. If you’re considering buying or selling a condo (new construction or one of the current buildings) I would highly recommend you talk to them. You won’t find any other Realtor or team who is as knowledgeable as they are about the pro’s and con’s of Houston’s highrise buildings. They are fabulous to work with, are very candid with their advice and will look out for your best interests. I highly recommend the HoustonProperties.com team.”
