Even as luxury home sales slowed across Houston in August, the region’s high-end home buyers continued to spend big. Houston’s most expensive homes sold in August don’t fall into one single category. Instead their designs span the extremes, from a sprawling suburban estate in Spring with a 30-foot-long waterslide to a 34th-level penthouse perched above Buffalo Bayou in the Residences at the Allen, according to the Houston Association of Realtors.
