January 2026 Lease Trends in The Woodlands, TX

With just one property actively offered for lease this month, the supply side is remarkably tight. The unit was a 3 bed, 3 bath condo or townhouse with 1,657 square feet, and it rented for $1,850 per month. Both the median and average days on market hit just one day—meaning rental homes are in strong demand, and quick action is vital. Why does this matter? Immediate lease ups reflect a market that favors owners but challenges renters to bring full documentation and readiness from day one.

No aggregate rental metrics—such as average or median rent, vacancy rates, or lease concessions—are available for January 2026. However, the speed at which available inventory moves points to enduring strength for landlords and competition for tenants.
