You can easily get an average home for less than $100sqft.
This summer we were looking at 3000-3500 sqft east of Kuykendahl and south of Research (non-Creekside) and didn't see anything close to that range.

Just checked and most are currently listed for $135-$150/square foot. Maybe that is the new normal in that area, but it just felt high to me. Certainly it wasn't a price that I felt was a great time to be making a move just for the sake of upgrading.

It's hard to imagine oil prices staying this high and interest rates staying this low for the next few years, and what would a correction in those two items do to prices in the area? I figured I would just stand pat for now and check back in a couple of years.

Agree to disagree I guess but the woodlands is not overpriced when you look at similar upperclass neighborhoods with great schools nation wide. Sure it's a ~10% premium over similar houses in the surrounding areas, but it's still very affordable.
