Lake Conroe Real Estate – Aug. 2015

Home For Sale Real Estate Sign in Front of Beautiful New House.

Over the last several months, there has been a significant amount of speculation about the role that the declining price of oil will have on the housing market in the Montgomery / Lake Conroe area. As we look at the numbers of homes sold in the area for August 2015, it appears to be having a very limited effect.

There were 254 homes sold in August versus 277 for last month. Part of this decline can be easily attributed to end of summer seasonal pattern where the market is traditionally less active.

The number of homes under contract was 421 down from 451 in July, but still ahead of any other month in the last seven years. Homes for sale in the area totaled 1320, but represented only six months of inventory well under historic highs.

The sale prices with the most activity are the $100,000 to $300,000 ranges with 21% of the sales and homes under contract. Overall, the Lake Conroe/Conroe area real estate market is still performing well and showing the typical seasonal declines as we enter the back to school and end of summer window.

Focusing on the six major subdivisions around Lake Conroe, April Sound continued to excel on the resale market selling 43% of the homes listed for sale and Walden came in second at 37% of listing sold.

Grand Harbor saw 27% of its listings sell and Bentwater saw 16%. April Sound and Walden’s success is largely due to the majority of their homes under contract and sold falling into the in demand $100,000-$300,000 range.
