The Montgomery County housing market in May 2026

Prices in Montgomery County are still climbing: the median sale price reached $700,000 in May 2026, 7.4% above a year earlier. Homes listed that month had a median asking price of $665,000, and sold for a median of $310 per square foot. The average sale closed at 100.7% of asking price and 44% of homes sold above list, so buyers are still bidding against each other.

There were 2,427 homes for sale at the end of May, up 6% from a year earlier, or 2.5 months of supply, still on the sellers' side. The typical home that sold had been listed for 32 days, 4 days longer than a year earlier. 55% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. Compared with May 2025, owners listed 3% fewer homes and sales were up 3%.

29% of listings had a price cut in May 2026, a moderate share.

For FSBO outreach, this means many Montgomery County owners can still sell on their own, so lead with pricing data and a net-proceeds comparison rather than an offer to list.

When Montgomery County homeowners list

Listing activity is strongly seasonal in Montgomery County. Over the three years to May 2026, new listings peaked in April and May, with May running about 46% above the monthly average, and bottomed out in December, about 59% below it. Homes that sold in June had spent the least time on the market (a median of about 24 days), and those that sold in January the most (about 49 days).

Have your list, scripts and mail pieces ready by March, so you reach new FSBO owners in their first weeks. Sales are slowest around January, so FSBO owners still on the market then have often been waiting for months and tend to be the most open to help.

Working Montgomery County FSBO leads

  1. Time it. Put your heaviest outreach into April and May, when the most Montgomery County homes come to market, and ease off in December.
  2. Bring the numbers. On a $700,000 home, each 1% of commission is about $7,000, the money most FSBO owners are trying to keep, so a net-sheet comparison lands better than a pitch.
  3. Use the 32-day mark. Half of the Montgomery County homes that sold in May 2026 had been listed 32 days or less, so an FSBO still for sale after that is likely stalling.
  4. Sell the upside. With 44% of homes selling above list, agents do better pitching wider exposure and competing offers than a discount.
  5. Stay compliant and verify. Stop contacting any owner who says "no agents" or "no investors", confirm ownership and liens in Montgomery County records before an offer, and add skip tracing for records without a phone number.
