Historic Home Sales in The Woodlands: What the Data Tells Us (2019–2024)

If you’ve been wondering how the real estate market in The Woodlands has changed over the past few years, this chart gives us a clear picture. It tracks home sales from 2019 through 2024, highlighting the highs and lows of the market.

What the Numbers Show

- 2021 was the peak year — fueled by historically low interest rates and buyer demand, The Woodlands saw its highest sales volume, topping 300 monthly sales during peak season.
- 2020 held strong despite uncertainty — with sales surging mid-year after a slower spring start.
- 2022 & 2023 showed a cooldown — sales trended down as interest rates rose, with fewer buyers entering the market.
- 2024 so far is steady but softer — sales are lower than peak years, but the market is more balanced with motivated buyers still active.

What This Means for Buyers

If you’re buying in 2024, you’ll notice:
- Less competition than in 2021–2022
- More negotiating power
- Opportunities in neighborhoods that were previously “impossible” to get into

What This Means for Sellers

If you’re selling, here’s the good news:
- Inventory remains tight in The Woodlands, so well-priced homes still sell quickly.
- Presentation and pricing strategy are more important than ever to stand out in today’s market.
- Even in a softer year, serious buyers are still moving here for the schools, amenities, and lifestyle.

The Bottom Line

Real estate in The Woodlands has shifted from a red-hot frenzy to a steady, more balanced market. Whether you’re buying or selling, the key is to work with a local Realtor who knows the numbers and can guide you with a smart strategy.
