McKinney home sales stay active, median price hits $485,000
McKinney buyers had more room to negotiate in March, even as 286 homes sold and the median price held at $485,000.
McKinney buyers had more room to negotiate in March, even as 286 homes changed hands and the median sale price held at $485,000. The average home spent 79 days on the market, a sign the city was active but no longer moving at pandemic speed.
That matters because time is leverage. A listing that lingers for nearly 11 weeks gives shoppers more room to ask for credits, repairs or a price cut, especially in the $400,000 to $699,999 range, which accounted for the largest share of sales. But the median price still leaves monthly payment pressure high for local families, particularly in a city where the median household income is $120,273.
The map tells a more complicated story. The 75071 ZIP code posted the most sales, but ZIP-code data and city data do not line up perfectly in McKinney. The Texas Real Estate Research Center bases its figures on listings physically located within the mapped area and does not count off-MLS new-home or existing-home sales. The City of McKinney spans about 68 square miles and can annex land, so some ZIP-code sales fall outside city limits.
Even with that caveat, the direction is clear. Three of McKinney’s four ZIP code areas had more home sales than a year earlier, while three saw lower median sale prices and half showed shorter days on market. Two ZIP codes also had more new listings, and two had more homes under contract, a combination that suggests supply and demand were both still moving.
Redfin’s March snapshot was a little different, reporting 246 sales, a median price around $487,500 and an average of 54 days on market, compared with 198 sales a year earlier. The differences come from methodology, but both sets of numbers point the same way: McKinney remained a busy market, and the city’s population, estimated at 237,130 as of Jan. 1, 2026, kept housing demand under pressure. Population growth from 206,654 in 2022 to 237,130 in 2026 has kept McKinney one of Collin County’s most closely watched housing markets.
