Conroe inventory is down, even with sales still moving

Real estate, Conroe, TX

The numbers for the three months ending August 31, 2026 are in. Across Conroe's three ZIP codes, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 815 homes for sale. That is down 17.7% from the same stretch a year ago. New listings fell 10.8% in the same period. Fewer sellers are stepping in to fill the gap. That is the story this season.

Nationally, the picture looks different. Realtor.com reported active listings topped 1.16 million homes for sale across the country in September 2026. Conroe is moving in the opposite direction. That contrast matters if you are trying to read this local market.

Sales are holding up

Even with fewer listings, buyers kept buying. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 620 homes sold across Conroe's three ZIP codes in those three months. That is up 8.6% from a year before. Pending sales came in at 616, down just 1.1%. Sales did not fall off a cliff. They stayed close to last year's pace.

Each ZIP code reads a little differently

Conroe covers three ZIP codes, and they do not all move the same way. Here is what the Real Estate Data Aggregator found for each one in the three months ending August 31, 2026.

Prices dipped a little in all three ZIPs

The median sale price fell in every ZIP compared with a year ago. In 77304, the Real Estate Data Aggregator put it at $357,190, down 4.7%. In 77302, it came in at $341,365, down 7.7%. In 77384, it was $409,000, down 4.9%. Prices softened, but homes are still closing close to list. The Real Estate Data Aggregator showed sale-to-list ratios of 97.6% to 98.4% across all three ZIPs.

Time on market went up in two of three ZIPs

In 77304, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted a median of 74 days on market. That is 6 days longer than a year before. In 77384, it was 57 days, up 17 days from a year ago. The one ZIP that moved faster was 77302, where the median came in at 84 days, 8 days shorter than last year. So the pace varies by ZIP. One number does not tell the whole story.

The wider rate picture

Rates are part of the backdrop here. Realtor.com reported mortgage rates climbed above 7% for the first time since January 2025. The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported U.S. house prices rose 2.4% from August 2025 to August 2026. Those are national figures. They set the stage, but your specific street in Conroe can read very differently.
