Chad Schulin Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty Advice for buyers: There is high demand to live in Plano as the workforce continues to grow and the quality of life increases due to recent additions of world-class restaurants and retail. The influx of people moving to the area has caused the home supply to dip to a 2.7-month supply in the first quarter of 2017, which has since leveled out to a still-low 4.2-month supply. These levels are far lower than the MLS average supply of 5.4 months across North Texas. It is important for buyers to engage an experienced Realtor for insight into on- and off-market properties as the well-appointed homes marketed at a fair market value seem to be more challenging to locate. Advice for sellers: With an influx of buyers and an increased home supply, sellers should engage an experienced Realtor to effectively market their home. In addition to the initial staging consultation and professional photography, a clear, strategic marketing strategy should be customized and implemented to ensure the home is properly exposed to the target audience. For homes above $350,000, the average number of days on market in Plano is 24; 10 days fewer than the Dallas-Fort Worth average, per MLS. If a seller is serious about finding a buyer within the average number of days on market, it is critical to have the home well-prepared and appropriately priced.
