February 2026 Real Estate Recap

Walden & Montgomery ISD Housing Market Update

If you’ve been wondering what the real estate market looks like around Walden on Lake Conroe and the Montgomery Independent School District, the February numbers are in—and overall I’m really liking what I’m seeing.

Markets can vary widely across Texas (it’s a big state after all), but locally we’re seeing a market that feels more balanced than the frenzy of a few years ago while still showing healthy activity.

Let’s take a look at the highlights.

Walden on Lake Conroe – February 2026

Median Price

The median home price in Walden came in at $316,500, which is up 0.6% compared to February 2025.

That may seem like a small change, but stability in pricing is actually a positive sign. It means values are holding steady while the market continues to move.

Closed Sales

One of the most encouraging stats is the number of homes that actually sold.

Closed sales increased 33.3%, with 16 homes closing in February.

More closed sales usually means buyers are active and confident enough to move forward with purchases.

Inventory

Active listings dropped 16.8%, with 134 homes on the market.

Lower inventory combined with increased sales is often a sign that the market is tightening slightly—which can benefit sellers while still leaving options for buyers.

Days on Market

Homes spent about 64 days on the market and about 23 days to close, for a total of 87 days.

That’s 37 days faster than February 2025, which shows that well-priced homes are moving more quickly than they were a year ago.

Months of Inventory

Walden currently sits at 6.2 months of inventory, down from 8.2 months last year.

That puts us very close to what many consider a balanced market, where neither buyers nor sellers have a huge advantage.

Montgomery ISD Housing Market – February 2026

Looking at the broader Montgomery ISD market gives us a bigger picture of the area.

Median Price

The median home price held steady at $345,000, essentially flat compared to last year.

Again, stability in pricing is often a healthy sign for a market.

Inventory

Active listings increased 23.7%, with 902 homes on the market.

This gives buyers more choices and breathing room compared to the ultra-competitive market we saw a few years ago.

Closed Sales

Closed sales also increased 23%, with 107 homes selling in February.

That tells us buyers are still active despite higher interest rates.

Days on Market

Homes averaged 77 days on the market plus 31 days to close, for a total of 108 days, which is just slightly faster than last year.

Months of Inventory

Inventory rose to 7.1 months, compared to 6.6 months last year, again pointing toward a more balanced market.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

Overall, the February numbers show a healthy and active market in both Walden and Montgomery ISD.

For sellers:

  • Homes are still selling

  • Prices are holding steady

  • Well-priced homes are moving faster than last year

For buyers:

  • There’s more inventory than during the peak frenzy

  • You have a little more time to evaluate homes

  • The market is more balanced than it was a few years ago

In other words, this market can work for both sides with the right strategy.
