The current asking side is telling a clear story.

If you are looking at active homes in The Woodlands, TX, the question is whether the asking side gives you room to negotiate or room to wait. My answer is that it depends on the property, but last month the typical active list price was $3,971,200 and one active home was listed at $3,971,200 after 68 days.
Last month, one active home was listed at $3,971,200 after 68 days. That is the kind of detail I use to keep expectations honest. A home that sits longer can still be a good opportunity, but only if the price and condition are working together. For The Woodlands, TX, I would treat a longer active timeline as a cue to ask better questions. Is the asking number supported by the market, or is the property waiting for the market to come to it? Review the active homes by price first. Then pay attention to how long they have already been visible. That sequence will usually tell you more than a surface glance.
