Do Open Houses Really Help Sell Your Home in Montgomery County Texas?

When it comes to selling your home in Montgomery County, TX—including The Woodlands, Montgomery, Magnolia, Conroe, and Spring—homeowners often wonder: Do open houses make a real difference? Let’s dive into the latest data and local trends to give you a clear, numbers-driven perspective.

Open Houses: What the Numbers Say

According to July 2025 data from HAR, just 12% of homes in Montgomery County that hosted at least one open house sold within the first 14 days on market, compared to 9% of homes that did not host an open house. While this shows a slight edge, the gap is not as dramatic as many expect.

Days on Market: The median days on market for homes with open houses in July 2025 was 27 days, compared to 30 days for those without. That’s a modest 10% improvement, but in a competitive market, every day counts.

Active Listings & Competition: Montgomery County saw over 2,400 active listings in July 2025—a 14% increase year-over-year. With more listings, standing out is crucial. Open houses offer visibility, but they’re only one piece of the puzzle.

Marketing, Video, and Buyer Reach

Data shows that homes in The Woodlands and Magnolia that combined open houses with professional video tours received 2.1x more online views and 38% more scheduled private showings than those relying on open houses alone. In Spring and Conroe, listings with social media marketing (including open house announcements) saw 22% faster sales on average.
