Are home prices in The Woodlands going up or down?
Built from Allen Markel's own listing data · Texas Premier Realty ·
Short answer
For The Woodlands, the answer is mixed. In 5 of the last 12 months the median sale price was above the same month a year earlier, and in 7 it was below. Closed sales over the same 12 months were 1,334, 4% fewer than the 1,394 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 The Woodlands, 5 months were higher, 7 were lower and 0 were unchanged. Closed sales over the same 12 months were 1,334, 4% fewer than the 1,394 in the 12 months before. Median price per square foot in August was $224, against $218 in the same month a year before. By quarter, the median sale price was $583,900 for 2026-Q3 against $615,000 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. Every buyer and seller in The Woodlands is weighing a different set of trade-offs, and waiting to decide is often the costliest choice. If you are thinking about timing a purchase or a sale, talk to us to find the right option for your circumstances.
