This guide explains what each figure means and where the trend points. - Author: Housing Ledger Editorial - Tags: Conroe TX, Texas housing market, home prices, home listings, Montgomery County, #gce-f35c9346 The Conroe, TX housing market is softening on one common measure: Zillow's median home value was $312,928 in August 2026, down 1.8% from a year earlier [\[1\]](https://www.zillow.com/home-values/44734/conroe-tx/?ref=josetijam.com). That is a useful starting point, but it is one number from one source on one date. For a closer look, read [El Paso TX Housing Market: Prices, Inventory and What to Expect](https://josetijam.com/el-paso-tx-housing-market/). HAR reported an average home price of $392,154 for October 2026 [\[2\]](https://www.har.com/conroe/about?ref=josetijam.com). That figure is an average from a different source and month, so it differs from Zillow's median by definition, not only by timing. This article explains each price measure, then covers listings, days on market, rents, and the Texas property tax and municipal utility district costs behind your monthly payment. Read any single number as one measure from one source on one date.

Conroe price figures differ mainly because each site measures something different. A median is the middle value when all prices are lined up, while an average adds every price together and divides by the number of homes. An average can be pulled up by a few expensive homes, while a median is much less affected by them. That is why an average can sit well above a median for the same area, and why the two should never be read as the same number. ### How the main sources measure prices Zillow reports a median home value for Conroe, so its figure is a middle value rather than an average of every home [\[1\]](https://www.zillow.com/home-values/44734/conroe-tx/?ref=josetijam.com). Realtor.com reports a median listing price of $340K for homes currently for sale [\[3\]](https://www.realtor.com/local/market/texas/montgomery-county/conroe?ref=josetijam.com). Because this is an asking price, it shows what sellers are requesting, not what buyers paid. HAR reports an average home price of $392,154 for October 2026 [\[2\]](https://www.har.com/conroe/about?ref=josetijam.com). Because it is an average, a small number of high-priced sales can lift it above what a typical home costs. ### Why the other sites differ again Homes.com lists an average home price of $390,593 [\[4\]](https://www.homes.com/conroe-tx/?ref=josetijam.com). ExpRealty shows an average listing price of $447,691 [\[5\]](https://www.exprealty.com/conroe-tx-real-estate?ref=josetijam.com). These two sites use their own areas and dates, so the gap between them does not show that prices rose or fell. If you are buying, a listing price is where negotiation usually starts, while a sold price shows what homes actually closed at. Knowing which one a site reports tells you how to use the number. A figure only makes sense next to its label. Pick one source, note whether it reports a median or an average, and compare it with the same source a month later. ![A real estate agent reviews home listings on a laptop at a wooden kitchen table beside a stack of printed property sheets.](https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?q=laptop%20with%20home%20listings%20on%20a%20table&w=800&h=450&rs=1&c=4) ## Are Conroe home prices going up or down? Conroe home prices are moving in both directions, depending on which measure you check [\[6\]](https://www.redfin.com/city/4274/TX/Conroe/housing-market?ref=josetijam.com) [\[1\]](https://www.zillow.com/home-values/44734/conroe-tx/?ref=josetijam.com). Which way you read depends on the source and its date. ### Redfin shows prices rising That is a year-over-year comparison, so a home that sells for the average today costs more than the average did a year ago. An average can move with a handful of large or small sales in one month. Treat a single month's gain as a signal to watch, not proof of a lasting trend. ### Zillow and Homes.com show prices falling Zillow shows the median home value in Conroe down 1.8% year over year as of August 2026 [\[1\]](https://www.zillow.com/home-values/44734/conroe-tx/?ref=josetijam.com). Zillow's figure is a home value estimate, not a count of recent sales, so it tracks the broad market differently from Redfin's average sale price. The page does not show a date range alongside that figure, so compare it with the dated Zillow and Redfin numbers before you rely on it. ### An older report shows a gain A property management firm's Q2 2025 report showed 5.1% appreciation for Conroe [\[7\]](https://themanagementpros.com/conroe-housing-market-trends-for-property-investors-2025/?ref=josetijam.com). ### How to read the mixed signals Two sources show a decline and two show a gain, but they measure different things over different periods. A rise in the average sale price and a fall in the median home value can both be true in the same month. If you are deciding whether to buy or sell, use the most recent figures and note which measure each one uses. Prices in Conroe have moved in both directions, so a single headline number is not enough to judge the direction of the market. ![A white for-sale sign stands in the front yard of a two-story suburban house on a tree-lined street in Texas.](https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?q=for-sale%20sign%20in%20a%20front%20yard&w=800&h=450&rs=1&c=4) ## How many homes are for sale in Conroe? Realtor.com shows about 4.3K homes for sale in Conroe, and ExpRealty shows 1,907 active listings. [\[3\]](https://www.realtor.com/local/market/texas/montgomery-county/conroe?ref=josetijam.com) [\[5\]](https://www.exprealty.com/conroe-tx-real-estate?ref=josetijam.com) For a buyer, the Realtor.com figure means a wider pool to compare across neighborhoods and price ranges. The ExpRealty count is much smaller. [\[5\]](https://www.exprealty.com/conroe-tx-real-estate?ref=josetijam.com) The two sites most likely use different geographic boundaries or different dates, so the gap does not necessarily mean homes have become scarce. Compare each site only with its own earlier readings. ### What a listing count tells you A higher count gives you more choice. If you want a home of a certain size under a set budget, a larger pool gives you more homes to tour and more chances to find a match. A count alone does not show how fast homes sell. A market with thousands of listings that sit unsold for months can feel slower than one with fewer homes that sell within weeks. To judge pace, you need a measure of how long homes stay listed, which a listing count does not provide. ### How to track supply over time Pick one site and record its count once a month. A steady rise or fall over several months tells you more about supply than any single reading. Think of the count as the size of the shelf, not the speed at which items leave it. A full shelf can still move slowly, so use the count as one input alongside sales pace and the other measures covered in this article. Keep your comparison fair by using the same site and the same type of search each time. Switching sites between readings can make a change look bigger or smaller than it really is. ### What to do with the number If you are a buyer, a large count means more negotiating room only when homes are staying on the market. If you are a seller, the same count means more competition for your home, so price it against the homes that are actually selling nearby. ## What do rents look like in Conroe? Typical rent for a house in Conroe was about $2,227 a month in October 2026, based on HAR's average. [\[2\]](https://www.har.com/conroe/about?ref=josetijam.com) If you are budgeting as a renter, that figure is the most direct one to set against your income and other housing costs. Because it covers houses only, it does not show what an apartment costs. ### A 2025 rent and vacancy snapshot A Q2 2025 report from a property management firm showed 5.0% rent growth and a 5.5% vacancy rate in Conroe. [\[7\]](https://themanagementpros.com/conroe-housing-market-trends-for-property-investors-2025/?ref=josetijam.com) Rent growth shows how much average rents rose over the period the firm measured. Vacancy rate is the share of rental units that sit empty at a given time. A lower vacancy rate usually means landlords fill units more easily, while a higher rate gives renters more choice when they look for a place. It shows conditions at that point, not a long-term pattern. ### Why these numbers do not line up They also measure different things: an average rent for houses, and a firm's market-wide growth and vacancy measures. Putting them side by side can make rents look like they changed sharply, when the gap comes from timing or property type. Use each figure for its own purpose. For a monthly budget, the HAR house average is the most direct number. To see the direction of rents, track one source's figures month to month, so that you compare like with like. ## How should you use these Conroe numbers? Pick one source, such as Zillow or Redfin, and track its figure month to month. Using the same source each time shows the direction of change, which a single reading cannot. Mixing sources makes the numbers look like they move when they are only measured differently. Property taxes and any municipal utility district charges are set locally, so they do not come from a city-wide market report. Before you budget a monthly payment, confirm them with Montgomery County and City of Conroe sources. Then add those costs to your mortgage estimate, not just the listing price. ## Sources 1.
