This creates a win-win scenario for both Montgomery County home buyers and sellers heading into the fall season.

In this monthly market update, we’ll take a look at regional housing trends and provide detailed insights into the sub-markets of Conroe, The Woodlands, Spring, and Magnolia, TX.

The Conroe and The Woodlands real estate market experienced a typical seasonal shift in September. With school back in session and summer buyers mostly settled, demand has cooled, but not crashed.

📍 Market Breakdown by Area

Although prices dipped significantly in The Woodlands, this likely reflects a shift in the types of homes sold rather than a true decline in home values. Many luxury homes in The Woodlands tend to sell in early summer, which can skew the numbers.

Despite the dip, The Woodlands remains a strong seller’s market. Inventory is low, and move-in ready homes in neighborhoods like Creekside Park, Sterling Ridge, and Alden Bridge are still seeing steady demand.

The Conroe housing market remained resilient in September, with home values up nearly 4% year-over-year. However, homes are taking a bit longer to sell. Sellers should focus on pricing competitively and preparing their homes for showings.

Buyers have more options than last fall, especially in popular areas like Grand Central Park, Artavia, and Water Crest on Lake Conroe.

Sellers can stand out by highlighting updated kitchens, fresh interiors, and curb appeal, while buyers benefit from reduced competition compared to the peak market of 2022.

Magnolia was the standout sub-market for September. With double-digit price growth both monthly and annually, the area is showing strong appreciation. At the same time, it has the highest inventory and longest days on market — signaling a buyer’s market with investment potential.

Neighborhoods like Durango Creek, Westwood, and Northgrove offer opportunities for buyers to negotiate favorable terms, especially on homes that have been sitting for more than 30 days.
