Community Guide
Living in Richmond, Texas
Richmond is the Fort Bend County seat on the Brazos River, founded in 1837, and its addresses reach far west along FM 1093 and US-90A into Harvest Green, Candela and Austin Point. Those master-planned communities account for much of the inventory, and homes here run larger than the county median.
Get to know Richmond
Welcome to Richmond
Lamar CISD serves most of Richmond. About a third of listings are new construction, and the Brazos bottoms put a meaningful share inside a FEMA special flood hazard area.
Most homes sit on conventional subdivision lots of under a quarter acre, with a handful of acreage tracts in the mix. Builder homes make up roughly a quarter to a third of the listings; the majority is resale with a median build year in the 2020s. A meaningful minority of listings sit inside a FEMA special flood hazard area — the zone is on every listing here. What follows is live: our MLS feed refreshes the figures on this page hourly.

The Richmond 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.
Richmond is a balanced market right now — about 5.9 months of inventory, yet roughly 51% of active sellers have already cut their price, so well-prepared buyers still have room to negotiate. The median home sells around $380,000, and the typical listing has truly been on the market about 105 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 "—".

Homes-for-sale counts are live from the AWS MLS feed (active & pending, residential), matched to each school by its zoned-school name. The shaded areas are high-school attendance zones — the only attendance boundaries published for this district.
Ratings = 2025 Texas Education Agency accountability grades (A–F). Newer campuses may be unrated.

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.

Neighborhoods & communities
Richmond isn't one market
it's dozens
Richmond spans 95+ active communities — each with its own pricing, amenities and feel. Search the list or explore the map — hover either one and the other lights up, with live numbers for that neighborhood.
Layered communities: in Richmond, smaller neighborhoods often sit inside a larger master-planned community — so those homes pay two HOA fees, and the MLS lists both. Where footprints overlap on the map, click the same spot more than once to step through the stacked HOAs (smallest first).
95 of 95 communities
How this works: footprints are the convex hull of each community's listings over the last five years (active plus sold) — a denser, more representative outline from our own data, but still an approximation, not a surveyed HOA boundary. Numbers (active, pending, avg price, new-30d) are live from the AWS MLS feed for Richmond, residential for-sale only. 95 communities with 3+ active listings shown.

Selling with AI
AI helps us pinpoint your most likely buyer, speak their language, and reach more qualified buyers. The moment someone inquires on your home we respond fast and follow up relentlessly — so your home stays top of mind until it sells.
One integrated system, not ten
Most agents rent a dozen disconnected tools. Allen built his own end-to-end system in-house — the website, the live property search, the client database, the follow-up and the marketing, all under one roof. It's why everything just works together.
