We Buy Land in Sherman, Texas —
North Texas's Semiconductor Boomtown,
Cash Offers in 24 Hours
Sherman was a quiet county seat of 45,000 people waiting for growth to arrive from Dallas. Then Texas Instruments announced a $30 billion semiconductor campus and everything changed. If you own land in Grayson County and want to sell, we will make you a fair cash offer within 24 hours — no agents, no fees, no pressure.
"People Have Been Saying for Decades That Growth Was Coming Up Highway 75 — But Then It Never Really Happened"
That quote belongs to Sherman Mayor David Plyler, and for most of the city's history it was accurate. Sherman sits at the northern end of US Highway 75, about 60 miles north of Dallas, past the point where most DFW suburban sprawl had traditionally stalled.
Then, in November 2021, Texas Instruments announced it was coming to Sherman. Not with a branch office — with a $30 billion semiconductor fabrication campus, four factories each measuring 1.5 million square feet, designed to produce tens of thousands of 300-millimeter chips per day. The project broke ground in May 2022 and is expected to employ 3,000 people and produce over 100 million chips daily.
Six months after TI's announcement, Taiwanese firm GlobalWafers confirmed its own commitment. GlobiTech signed on to build a $5 billion silicon wafer manufacturing facility in Sherman, expected to bring 1,500 jobs. Together, the two investments represent over $35 billion committed to a single county in North Texas.
Boosted by $1.6 billion in CHIPS Act funding, TI's investment is a cornerstone of Sherman's new identity as a global tech player. Lake Texoma, sitting on Sherman's doorstep, provides access to abundant water rights critical for semiconductor manufacturing — a genuine competitive advantage that made Sherman viable when other Texas sites could not offer the same assurance.
The honest picture is nuanced. With only about 20 percent of the fab plants operational as of mid-2025, the full impact on housing and land demand remains to be realized. But the trajectory is clear, the investment is committed, and home prices in Grayson County have already soared 61 percent since pre-announcement levels.

Get My Cash OfferLake Texoma — Why Sherman Has Something Most Booming Texas Cities Cannot Offer
Lake Texoma sits right on Sherman's northern edge, straddling the Texas-Oklahoma state line. It is one of the largest reservoirs in the United States, covering approximately 89,000 surface acres across two states, fed by the Red River and its tributaries.
The lake's significance to Sherman's semiconductor story is practical and enormous. A single semiconductor fabrication plant can use tens of millions of gallons of highly purified water daily. As water access becomes increasingly competitive across Texas, the proximity of an 89,000-acre reservoir with established Texas water rights gave Sherman a competitive advantage that other Texas cities without similar access could not match.
Beyond the semiconductor story, Lake Texoma is one of North Texas's most significant recreational assets. The Preston Harbor development on Lake Texoma is valued at $6 billion and expects to deliver roughly 7,500 luxury homes, resort hotels including a Margaritaville, a 1,000-slip marina, and extensive recreational amenities.
The Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge on Lake Texoma's south arm protects significant waterfowl habitat and gives the area ecological character that buyers from DFW specifically seek when looking for a North Texas lake lifestyle.
For landowners, Lake Texoma's dual role as both a semiconductor enabler and a recreational lifestyle anchor creates demand from two entirely different buyer profiles — industrial users value lake water access for operational reasons; lifestyle buyers value lake proximity for quality-of-life reasons. Few locations in Texas serve both simultaneously.
The Real Market Picture — Not Just the Headlines
Sherman's land story since 2022 has generated national media coverage, real estate investment attention, and genuine excitement about North Texas's semiconductor future. It has also generated some land values that got ahead of actual near-term demand and some seller expectations that have not yet been met by the market.
Land prices climbed significantly, pushing values that require developers to aim for homes in the $450,000 to $500,000 range to make the numbers work. Yet the existing local market still gravitates toward more moderately priced homes. With only about 20 percent of the fab plants operational as of mid-2025, the full potential impact on housing demand remains to be realized.
What this means for land sellers is that the current moment rewards realistic pricing and direct sales over aspirational listing prices that wait for a fully realized TI employment base. We make offers based on current comparable sales and current buyer demand, not on five-year projections.
We work with both types of sellers — those who want a clean cash exit today, and those uncertain about timing who want an honest read without pressure.

Real Situations Grayson County Sellers Come to Us With
Your situation not listed? We buy all Grayson County land types in any condition. Tell us what you own.
Get My Cash OfferSellers who acquired Grayson County land before or early in the TI announcement cycle and are now sitting on properties at elevated values face a real timing decision. If you want to convert that appreciation into cash at current market prices rather than waiting for the full employment build-out, we make a direct offer based on current comparable sales.
The gap between TI-inspired land prices and the actual retail buyer pool that exists today is real. Sellers who listed at aspirational development values may find their property has been on the market longer than expected. We are direct buyers who make offers based on current market reality and close in two to three weeks.
Like most North Texas counties with generational farming roots, Grayson County has significant inherited land. We research your specific parcel, check ag exemption status, and make a written offer within 24 hours regardless of whether the title is clean or needs working through.
Rural acreage near Lake Texoma, creek-adjacent parcels, and agricultural land throughout Grayson County attract recreational and lifestyle buyers from DFW. We make offers on rural Grayson County land based on the specific recreational and agricultural characteristics of each parcel.
Grayson County property taxes on vacant land not enrolled in agricultural use assessment accumulate annually. For land that is not generating income, those ongoing bills represent a real carrying cost. We buy tax-delinquent Grayson County land and coordinate the payoff at closing.
Every Type of Sherman Area Land We Purchase
Three Things Specific to Selling Sherman Area Land
Questions about your specific parcel? We research every Grayson County lot before making an offer.
Ask Us AnythingTexas agricultural use assessment allows qualifying farmland to be taxed at use value rather than market value. When ag-exempt land is sold, three years of rollback taxes become due. This is a standard consideration on Grayson County rural sales and we factor it into every qualifying offer at the outset. No surprises.
Developers are eyeing the area ahead of a potential Dallas North Tollway expansion into Grayson County, fueling a broader land rush in the Texoma region. If the tollway extension materializes, it would dramatically improve DFW commuter access to Sherman and transform the development economics of parcels along its anticipated corridor. This remains a future factor rather than a current reality.
All Texas real estate transactions close through licensed title companies. We coordinate with a licensed Texas title company on every Sherman transaction, cover all closing costs, and handle all documentation. You do not need to find or hire anyone yourself.

Sherman, Texas — Grayson County Seat and North Texas's Semiconductor Hub
Sherman is the county seat of Grayson County, located approximately 60 miles north of Dallas on US Highway 75. The city of about 45,000 people sits on the shores of Lake Texoma in a region historically known for agriculture, manufacturing, and serving as the anchor of the Sherman-Denison metropolitan statistical area.
Grayson County's population rose 13 percent between 2010 and 2020, and projections suggest it could reach 148,000 by 2030 with some estimates pushing past 250,000 by 2060 as the TI workforce and downstream population growth materializes.
Texas Instruments' $30 billion project plans to build four 300mm semiconductor fabs, expected to employ 3,000 people and produce over 100 million chips daily when fully operational. GlobiTech's $5 billion silicon wafer facility adds an additional 1,500 jobs. Combined, these two projects represent over $35 billion in committed capital investment — one of the largest concentrations of semiconductor manufacturing investment anywhere in the United States.
Sherman's founding dates to the 1840s when it was established as the county seat of what was then the frontier edge of Texas settlement. Denison, approximately 11 miles north of Sherman, forms the other half of the Sherman-Denison MSA. The Eisenhower Birthplace State Historic Site in Denison commemorates Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States, who was born there in 1890.
