A first home in Anna
Every step explained before you get to it, from pre-approval to closing day.
First-time home buyers in Anna
First-time home buyers in Anna can often buy a brand-new home at a lower price point than they'd find further south. You get a builder warranty and a newer, more efficient home. The trade is a longer drive.
Buying new, the first time
The builder's sales agent works for the builder. I'll compare builders' base prices, included features and incentives, walk you through the contract, and explain how a new build's timeline works. We start with pre-approval and a real monthly budget. See first-time buyers and new construction.

What first-time buyers looks like in Anna
More affordable new construction and master-planned communities on US 75, between McKinney and Sherman.
- The homes
- More affordable new construction and master-planned communities. As Melissa's prices have risen, buyers looking for the lower price point have moved a little further north to Anna.
- Why people choose it
- Buyers after a lower price point, and more and more people working at the big new plants in Sherman (Texas Instruments' semiconductor fab among them) who want to stay closer to the Metroplex without living too far from work. More master-planned communities are arriving.
- Schools
- Anna ISD.
- Getting around
- Close to US 75, toward McKinney and Sherman. Anna now runs almost into Van Alstyne, the next town north.
- Nearby
- Shopping, entertainment and dining are still limited, but more is expected as the area grows. The US 75 corridor from Anna up toward Sherman has plenty of room left to grow.
- The trade-off
- A longer commute into the Metroplex, and fewer shops and restaurants for now.
