Are home prices in Montgomery County going up or down?
Built from Allen Markel's own listing data · Texas Premier Realty ·
Short answer
For Montgomery County, the answer is mostly higher. In 11 of the last 12 months the median sale price was above the same month a year earlier, and in 1 it was below. Closed sales over the same 12 months were 15,167, 2% more than the 14,892 in the 12 months before. Monthly medians are noisy in smaller markets, so read the direction over a year, not one month.
Month by month against a year ago
We compare each of the last 12 months with the same month a year earlier. In Montgomery County, 11 months were higher, 1 were lower and 0 were unchanged. Closed sales over the same 12 months were 15,167, 2% more than the 14,892 in the 12 months before. Median price per square foot in August was $162, against $164 in the same month a year before. By quarter, the median sale price was $330,000 for 2026-Q3 against $325,000 for 2025-Q3.
What it means for timing
Direction alone does not tell you when to act. A market that is flat in the middle can still be moving in a price band or a subdivision, and a seller and a buyer are usually looking at different bands. A Montgomery County average is a starting point, not a verdict on any one property, and the right move depends on your timeline, finances and the home itself. If you are thinking about timing a purchase or a sale, talk to us to find the right option for your circumstances.
