The week How far is too far?
Close to Dallas Uptown, the hospitals, Love Field. The tollway still matters. Established north Plano, Allen, south Frisco. A commute, not the frontier. Further is fine More house and newer streets. You are choosing the drive. A town, not a gate A square or a street you can walk. Not only a trail inside an HOA.
The product What kind of house?
A street with trees Resale. Someone has already lived there. Show me both New and resale, judged on the week, not the granite. New construction A builder, a spec, or a community still going up. The amenity is the point Lagoon, club, resort-style HOA. The dues are part of the house.
The priority What leads the search?
Schools lead The district is why you’re looking. Still verify the campus. The neighborhood Trees, a downtown, a street with a name. The payment More house for the money, even if the drive is longer. The new stuff Sports, restaurants, a city that is still announcing things.
The money What payment band are we sketching?
Keep the payment down $375,000 sketch. Often further north, or a smaller resale. A middle search $550,000 sketch. Where a lot of Plano, Allen, McKinney, and Frisco tours begin. More house, or closer in $800,000 sketch. Closer Dallas and west Plano open up. So does a bigger build north. The upper end of this map $1,250,000 sketch.
