Sales of entry-level homes in the Woodlands were popular with homebuyers in May.

The north Houston suburb saw a total of 131 homes sold in the $200,000-$399,999 price range, according to a Community Impact report.

It’s unclear if those Woodlands homes were bought by individuals or institutional investors, which have been flooding the Houston market to scoop up starter homes and turn them into rentals.

In 2021, companies and corporations made up 40 percent of Harris County’s existing home purchases.
