If you've been following my monthly market updates, you've probably noticed a common theme.
The Texas housing market has been finding its balance.
Home prices across the state have remained flat. Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth are showing stability. Montgomery County continues to perform well.
But when we zoom into Montgomery ISD and Walden on Lake Conroe, the story becomes even more interesting.
These local markets aren't simply keeping pace—they're outperforming many of the larger markets across Texas.
And that's exactly why I always say...
Real estate is local.
Montgomery ISD Is Having a Strong Summer
The June numbers for Montgomery ISD show a market that remains healthy despite buyers taking a little longer to make decisions.
Compared to June 2025:
✔️ Median home price increased 22.3% to $455,000
✔️ Closed sales increased 18.3%
✔️ Active listings increased 7.8%
✔️ Inventory sits at 7.1 months
Those are impressive numbers.
The increase in listings gives buyers more choices, while the increase in sales tells us buyers are still confident in the Montgomery ISD market.
Walden Continues to Impress
Now let's talk about Walden.
These numbers immediately caught my attention.
Compared to June 2025:
✔️ Median home price increased 29.5% to $362,500
✔️ Closed sales increased 9.1%
✔️ Active listings actually decreased 1.7%
✔️ Homes moved from listing to closing in only 75 days
Those are remarkable statistics.
While much of Texas has seen home prices level off, Walden continues to experience significant appreciation.
Even more impressive?
Inventory remains healthy while available listings have actually declined.
That tells me buyers continue to see tremendous value in this community.
Why Is Walden Performing So Well?
As someone who lives and works here, this doesn't surprise me.
Walden offers something many buyers are actively searching for:
- Beautiful Lake Conroe lifestyle
- Golf course community
- Marina access
- Tennis and pickleball courts
- Fitness facilities
- Community pools
- Restaurants and entertainment nearby
- Convenient access to Montgomery, Conroe, and the Houston area
People aren't just buying a house.
They're buying a lifestyle.
And that lifestyle continues to attract buyers from across Texas.
One Number Really Stands Out
While Montgomery ISD homes are taking 104 days from listing to closing, Walden averages only 75 days.
That's nearly a full month faster.
Every neighborhood is different, but this is another reminder that buyers continue to move quickly when they find the right home in the right location.
What I'm Seeing Personally
These statistics match what I'm seeing in my own business.
I recently had a condo listing in Walden that had been on the market for a while. We had plenty of showings but no offers.
Then suddenly, the right buyer came along, and the home closed.
That's today's market.
Buyers are taking their time.
They're comparing properties.
But when they find the right home, they're ready to move.
That's why pricing, presentation, and professional marketing are more important than ever.
The Bottom Line
The June numbers tell a story that should encourage both buyers and sellers.
Walden isn't just keeping pace with the market.
It's outperforming it.
While Texas home prices have remained flat for two straight months, Walden's median home price increased nearly 30% over last year.
That's remarkable.
Of course, every home is different, and one month's statistics don't guarantee future results.
But these numbers reinforce something I've believed for a long time:
Location matters. Community matters. Local expertise matters.
If you're thinking about buying or selling in Walden, Montgomery ISD, or anywhere around Lake Conroe, don't rely on statewide headlines.
