Anthem in Kyle: why are 21 of the 24 homes for sale builder listings?

Anthem in Kyle is still being built out, which is why 21 of the 24 homes for sale there on September 23, 2026 are builder listings, held by Risewell Homes with 14 and Newmark Homes with 7. 66 of the 76 homes that closed in Anthem over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 were built in 2025 or later and 68 of the 76 were new build, at a median sale price of $374,990, so a resale owner here is priced against a record made almost entirely of brand new houses.

The 24 listings active in Anthem on September 23, 2026 ask a median of $444,990, while the 76 closings over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 recorded a median sale price of $374,990, so a seller who sets a list price from what the neighbors and the builders are asking is priced off the first figure and paid on the second. That distance gets paid for twice, once in the reductions that had already taken 23 of those 24 listings below their original asking price and again in carrying cost across the 136 days they had been listed at that pull. The median cumulative days on the market to contract, which counts the days a listing spent on the market before it went under contract, was 118 days across those 76 closings.

Quick answer

Anthem closed 76 homes over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 at a median of $374,990, which is $171 per square foot on a median 2,170 square feet, with a median of 118 days to contract, 93.2% of original asking price and a median year built of 2025. 24 homes were active on September 23, 2026 at a median asking price of $444,990, 23 of those 24 were already below their original asking price, and 21 of the 24 are builder listings held by Risewell Homes and Newmark Homes. Anthem carried 3.8 months of inventory on the twelve month basis, a measure that sets the homes for sale against the closing pace of the same twelve months. That is a seller’s market label for the subdivision overall and not a statement about your house, because your price point changes which market a home is in, and Kyle as a whole ran 5.0 months over the same twelve months. What this page cannot tell you is where your own address sits inside that record: which of the 76 closings share your floor plan and your phase, what your lot, fence and finished yard are worth against a builder’s house on the same street, and which price range your home actually belongs in, and answering those takes the address.

Median sale price in Anthem was $374,990 over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 against $424,990 over the twelve months ending September 20, 2025, while percent of original asking price was 93.2% over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 against 87.4% over the twelve months ending September 20, 2025.

For a seller the read is to price from the closing record. $374,990 is the midpoint of what actually closed over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, and the 93.2% of original asking price from that same period says the sellers who reached it were the ones whose asking price started near it. The 23 of the 24 listings active on September 23, 2026 that are already below their original asking price show the other route, which is discovering that number by reduction after the sign is in the yard.

Why did almost every Anthem sale last year come from a builder?

Because Anthem is still being built and sold, and that shapes the closing record more than anything else about the neighborhood. Of the 76 closings over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, 68 were new build against a thin sample of 8 resale closings, and by build era 66 were built in 2025 or later, 10 between 2015 and 2024, 0 between 2000 and 2014 and 0 before 2000.

Figure 1. Bar chart of the 76 closings in Anthem by build era over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026. Almost the whole year sits in one era: 66 closings were built in 2025 or later and 10 between 2015 and 2024, against 0 built between 2000 and 2014 and 0 built before 2000.

That is what the headline median is made of. An owner of a 2015 to 2024 house in Anthem is priced against the 10 closings from that era, and a valuation that hands that owner the $374,990 median is describing the 66.

A resale in Anthem is read against new build sales whether or not its owner wants it that way, because 8 resale closings over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 is a thin sample that a single sale would move.

What a builder cannot hand over at closing is what you already have. A fence, a finished backyard, blinds, gutters, a grown landscape and a chosen lot each carry a dollar figure, measured by what a buyer would still have to add to one of the 21 builder listings active in Anthem on September 23, 2026.

How long is it taking to get under contract in Anthem?

Median days to contract in Anthem was 118 over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 against 109 over the twelve months ending September 20, 2025. Across the 19 closings in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 the median was 145 days to contract.

Across the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 sellers took 94.8% of original asking price. Price and time describe one seller from two directions, so neither figure should be read on its own.

The 24 active listings in Anthem had been listed a median of 136 days at the September 23, 2026 pull. That is elapsed time on listings that have reached no outcome at all. The 118 day median counts only homes that went under contract, so the two figures describe different groups of houses.

118 days is the midpoint of the Anthem record and not a limit. Half of the 76 closings over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 took longer than 118 days to reach contract, and reaching contract is not closing. If you want a marker for reviewing your price, use the 118 day median to contract, or the 136 days the current listings have already been carried.

What am I competing against in Anthem right now?

24 homes were active in Anthem on September 23, 2026 at a median asking price of $444,990, 23 of those 24 were already below their original asking price, and 21 of the 24 are builder listings, with Risewell Homes holding 14 and Newmark Homes 7. For scale, Kyle as a whole had 621 active listings and 1,496 closings over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, at a town median sale price of $310,000.

Anthem carried 3.8 months of inventory on the twelve month basis, which is a seller’s market label for the subdivision overall and not a verdict on your house, because your price point changes which market a home is in. Kyle ran 5.0 months over the same twelve months.

Where the 76 closings in Anthem landed by price range Closings by price range, the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, with listings active on September 23, 2026. Any range under 10 closings is a thin sample. $250,000 to $299,999 Range median $294,240. 6 asking here now. $300,000 to $349,999 Range median $324,990. 3 asking here now. $350,000 to $399,999 Range median $374,990. 1 asking here now. $400,000 to $449,999 Range median $424,990. 3 asking here now. $450,000 to $499,999 Thin sample of 5 closings, range median $469,000. 6 asking here now. $500,000 to $549,999 Thin sample of 1 closing, no median published. 1 asking here now. $550,000 to $599,999 Thin sample of 2 closings, no median published. 3 asking here now. $600,000 to $649,999 Thin sample of 1 closing, no median published. 0 asking here now. $950,000 to $999,999 No closings, so no median published. 1 asking here now. Source: Unlock MLS (ACTRIS) via MLS Grid, WIR analysis, pulled September 23, 2026.
Figure 2. Bar chart of Anthem closings by price range over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026. The closings concentrate below $450,000, where $350,000 to $399,999 leads with 23 and $400,000 to $449,999 follows with 19, while the listings active on September 23, 2026 sit away from that concentration, with 6 asking in $250,000 to $299,999 and 6 in $450,000 to $499,999 against 1 asking in $350,000 to $399,999.

The subdivision median lands inside the deepest range in that chart. $374,990, the median sale price across the 76 closings over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, falls in the $350,000 to $399,999 range, which carried more closings than any other range and is also its own range median, and 1 home is asking there on September 23, 2026.

Being priced into a thin range is a different job. A range under 10 closings cannot tell a seller much, because a single sale moves it. In Anthem that describes $450,000 to $499,999, $500,000 to $549,999, $550,000 to $599,999 and $600,000 to $649,999, while $950,000 to $999,999 published no closings at all over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 and still has 1 home asking there on September 23, 2026. If your house belongs in any of those ranges, the argument for your price has to come from the house itself, because the closing record is too small to carry it.

How many Anthem listings ended without a sale last year?

16 listings in Anthem ended without a sale over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, a non-sale share of 17.4%, meaning listings that expired or were withdrawn by their off-market date, as a share of every listing that reached an outcome either way. Across Kyle over the same period 414 listings ended without a sale, a share of 21.7%.

It is the number most sellers never see, because those homes leave the search results quietly and the record of them ends there. The owner paid to carry the house through every day it was listed and now has a price history attached to the address.

In Anthem the read is specific. 23 of the 24 listings active on September 23, 2026 were already below their original asking price, which tells you what asking prices in this neighborhood are worth as a guide. A price taken from what the neighbors and the builders are asking is the ordinary way a house in Anthem reaches its off-market date with no buyer, because the 76 closings and their $374,990 median are what a buyer pays against.

Why does Anthem appear under four names in the MLS?

Because the neighborhood was platted and sold in phases, and the listings were entered that way. The MLS carries 4 spellings for this one subdivision: Anthem, Anthem Ph 2, Anthem Ph 3 and Anthem Ph 4A. All of them count as one subdivision in the figures on this page.

A comparable search keyed to one spelling can miss most of the 76 closings from the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 and hand back a thin sample that produces confident sounding numbers built on almost nothing.

It bites harder in Anthem because the phases differ in age. 66 of the 76 closings were built in 2025 or later and 10 between 2015 and 2024, so a search that lands on one phase can return only the newest streets and still call the answer Anthem, so ask how many of the 76 closings any estimate was built on.

What school district and elementary do Anthem listings show?

The listing fields on Anthem homes show Hays CISD as the district and Jim Cullen Elementary as the elementary school, and all 76 closings over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 carry Kyle as the MLS city. Those fields are geography as the MLS records it, and attendance is set by the district and by the specific address.

Accuracy matters more in a neighborhood entered under 4 spellings, because those fields are part of what holds the listings together for a buyer filtering by school. Confirm both for your own address with Hays CISD before the listing is written.

Your situation

If you are selling an Anthem resale, you are selling into a neighborhood where 68 of the 76 closings over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 were new build against a thin sample of 8 resale closings, and where 21 of the 24 listings active on September 23, 2026 belong to Risewell Homes or Newmark Homes. Your argument is the fence, the finished yard, the blinds and the lot, itemized in dollars against what a buyer would still have to add to a builder’s house on the same streets.

If you bought in Anthem between 2015 and 2024, your house sits with the 10 closings from that build era and is priced against them, so the comparable set that fits you is narrower than the headline 76 suggests.

If your Anthem home is already listed, check three figures against your own. 23 of the 24 active listings were below their original asking price on September 23, 2026, the median asking price among those 24 was $444,990, and they had been listed a median of 136 days at the pull. Compare your asking price and your elapsed time to that group, because that comparison is what tells you whether your price is doing the work.
