Community Guide
Living in Anderson, Texas
Anderson is the Grimes County seat, a courthouse town on SH 90 where Fanthorp Inn — an 1834 stagecoach stop kept as a state historic site — still stands. Listings are few and mostly acreage, so the page shows every active home rather than a median that one sale would swing.
Get to know Anderson
Welcome to Anderson
Homes here come with land: the county road grid around Anderson is pasture and hay meadow, and most of what lists carries an acre or more. Anderson-Shiro CISD serves the town.
Land is part of most sales here — an acre-plus lot is the norm in the current inventory, not the exception. Builder inventory is scarce here — the median listing dates from the 2000s, so most sales are resale. Few of the current listings fall inside a FEMA special flood hazard area. Everything on this page is drawn live from our MLS feed and refreshed through the day.

The Anderson real estate market
What the numbers mean
Not just numbers — what they tell you. Median price, how fast homes really sell, where prices are heading, and which neighborhoods are heating up. Live from our MLS feed, with Allen's plain-English read.
Anderson is tilting toward buyers right now — about 13.5 months of inventory, yet roughly 22% of active sellers have already cut their price, so well-prepared buyers still have room to negotiate. Too few homes have sold recently to quote a median sale price, and the typical listing has truly been on the market about 78 days.
Each figure is compared with the same period last year. Where last year's data isn't in our feed yet, you'll see "—".

Build a home search that excludes — or includes — the flood plain. Your call.
Flood zones affect your insurance cost, not whether a home is a bad buy — and we're the only site that lets you filter them right out of your search (or zero in on them). Two homes on the same street can sit in different zones; we show real exposure on every listing.
Search with the flood filterThe honest picture
We surface the real federal flood-claim history for any area you're considering — context, not scare tactics. Risk is very address-specific, and we walk through each home's exact exposure with you before you ever make an offer.
