April 2025 Real Estate Market Update: Conroe, The Woodlands, and Surrounding Areas

by Bren Brewer

If you're keeping an eye on the housing market north of Houston, April brought some fresh insights worth your attention. Whether you're thinking about buying a home, selling your current one, or just want to stay informed about your neighborhood, this monthly market update covers key trends across Montgomery County, including Conroe, The Woodlands, Spring, Magnolia, Porter, New Caney, and Lake Conroe.

Let’s go beyond the headlines and dig into what’s really happening in the Greater Conroe real estate market.

🔍 April 2025 Market Snapshot – Montgomery County, TX

Here’s what we saw across the broader region:

Active Listings: 5,985 (+13% from March)
Homes Sold: 1,126 (down from 1,300 in March and 1,424 in April 2024)
Median Sales Price: $345,405 (+5% year-over-year)
Average Days on Market (CDOM): 84 (slightly improved)
Months of Inventory: 5.3

👉 What This Means for You:

Inventory is rising—which is great news for buyers—but demand has softened slightly, likely due to interest rate pressures. However, home prices in Conroe, The Woodlands, and surrounding areas are holding steady and even ticking up in some submarkets. This is a market correction, not a crash.
