Independent mortgage guidance for Anna buyers and homeowners navigating one of the fastest-growing cities in North Texas.
Fast growth, softer pricing,
real opportunity.
Anna has an estimated 38,840 residents in 2026, up 120.5 percent from the 2020 Census count of 17,616, with a roughly 10.2 percent annual growth rate that keeps it among the fastest-growing cities in the country. The city also pairs that growth with a median household income of $105,593 and a median age of 32.1, giving Anna a young, family-oriented buyer base with strong earning power.
At the same time, the market has cooled from its peak pace. Redfin reports a median sale price of $350,814 for the three months ending July 2026, down 1.2 percent year over year in median sale price, while Zillow's July 2026 Home Value Index sits at $345,078, down 7.1 percent annually. Earlier single-month readings showed steeper price declines, but in a market this size monthly medians move with the mix of homes that happen to sell, so the smoother three-month view is the better guide. For buyers, strong long-term demand paired with homes taking longer to sell still creates a better negotiating window than Anna had during its peak run-up.
“Anna is the kind of market where the long-term story is growth, but the short-term story gives buyers more leverage than they may expect.”
Common loan scenarios in Anna
Anna attracts buyers who want more house, newer inventory, and a long-term growth story without paying Prosper or Frisco pricing. These are some of the most common financing situations we help with here.
Anna is one of the clearest new-construction markets in North Texas, and buyers here often need help comparing builder incentives against outside loan options. We help you evaluate contracts, timelines, credits, and whether the builder's lender is actually the best fit.
Many buyers come to Anna for newer homes, more square footage, and family-oriented neighborhoods. We help households compare payment ranges, tax impacts, and monthly affordability before they stretch too far just because the city's long-term story looks strong.
Long build timelines can create real rate risk. We help buyers think through extended rate-lock and buydown strategies before they sign a builder contract, not after the home is six months into construction.
Buyers in Anna often qualify for more than one product, but the right fit depends on credit, down payment, reserves, and the exact home. We run side-by-side comparisons of conventional and FHA options so you can see the tradeoffs clearly rather than guessing based on online summaries.
In Anna, taxes can materially change the monthly payment. We help buyers understand the full PITI number early, especially when a property looks affordable on price alone but carries a heavier escrow burden than expected.
Buyers who purchased during stronger price periods may want to revisit their structure as the market resets. We can evaluate refinance opportunities based on payment goals, equity position, and how long you plan to stay in the home.

Why Anna has become
a serious North Texas
buying conversation.
Anna's next phase is being shaped by the $1.5 billion Sherley Farms master-planned community, the new Rosamond Town Center retail project, and a city still ranking among the fastest-growing in the country in the latest Census estimates.
Tellus Group broke ground on Sherley Farms on March 25, 2026. The development covers 970 acres, is valued at $1.5 billion, and is expected to bring about 3,000 homes to Anna, along with more than 150 acres of open space, a resort-style amenity center, and a 65-acre organic farm. Phase 1 builders include Bloomfield Homes, Drees Custom Homes, Highland Homes, and Perry Homes, with lots expected by late 2026 and model homes opening in spring 2027.
Anna's commercial base took another step in 2026 when Big V Property Group and The Seitz Group broke ground on Rosamond Town Center at the end of June, adding a new retail center to a corridor that has already landed Home Depot, major banks, and dozens of new businesses in recent years. A downtown dining and entertainment district also remains in development.
Census estimates released in May 2026 again placed Anna among the fastest-growing cities in the nation, alongside North Texas neighbors Celina, Princeton, and Melissa, with the city's population now estimated near 38,840. Behind the growth, Anna continues work on the Anna 2050 Comprehensive Plan and carries strong S&P and Moody's credit ratings, signals of a city planning for the residents it is adding.
“Anna is no longer just a speculative fringe market. It is becoming a real North Texas housing node with enough growth, retail depth, and builder activity to matter.”
Anna mortgage FAQs
Are property taxes in Anna really as high as people say?+
They are substantial enough that buyers should plan for them early. Anna's combined property tax rate runs about 2.22 percent, including roughly 0.525 percent for the city and 1.443 percent for Anna ISD. On a $351,000 home, that works out to about $7,790 per year, or roughly $649 per month added to the payment. That is why we model the full PITI number up front rather than focusing only on principal and interest.
How do I protect my mortgage rate when buying new construction in Anna?+
This matters a lot in Anna because construction timelines can run 6 to 12 months or longer, while many standard rate locks only cover 30 to 60 days. If the lock expires before closing, you may end up repriced into a higher market. Extended rate-lock options can help, but they need to be evaluated before you sign the contract so you understand the cost, the timeline coverage, and the fallback plan.
Home prices in Anna seem to be dropping. Should I wait or act now?+
Anna's median sale price was $350,814 over the three months ending July 2026, down 1.2 percent year over year, while Zillow's July 2026 Home Value Index was $345,078, down 7.1 percent. Earlier single-month readings showed steeper drops, but those swings had more to do with the mix of homes selling in a smaller market than a real trend. Homes are still taking a median of 76 days to sell, which gives buyers meaningful leverage on price and concessions even though headline pricing is close to flat, and it does not erase the city's long-term demand drivers. A better question than “can I catch the bottom?” is whether today's softer pricing and your current rate produce a payment that still works well for your household over time.
Should I use a conventional or FHA loan for a new-construction home in Anna?+
It depends on down payment, credit, reserves, and the specific builder setup. Conventional loans are a strong fit for buyers with more savings or stronger credit, while FHAcan be more forgiving on qualification but comes with ongoing mortgage-insurance considerations in many cases. In Anna specifically, the bigger issue is often whether the builder's preferred lender is really giving you the best long-term structure. Independent side-by-side comparisons are especially useful in this market.
How are the schools in Anna?+
Anna ISD received an overall “C” rating with a scaled score of 78 out of 100, while Anna High School earned an “A” rating in the 2024–25 accountability cycle. For many families, that points to a district in transition rather than a simple yes-or-no answer. If schools are central to your decision, neighborhood timing and long-term district trajectory should be part of the buying conversation.
