Get to know Huffman

Welcome to Huffman

Huffman ISD serves the community. Roughly two-thirds of the current listings are new construction, and about one in six carries an acre or more.

FEMA special flood hazard areas touch only a small share of the current listings. A sizeable minority of listings sit on an acre or more, so the lot-size spread is wider than in the subdivision cities. Builders carry this market: well over half of what is listed is new construction. Below, the live figures from our MLS feed: what is listed, what it sells for, and how fast.

Huffman isn't one market
it's dozens
