The McKinney real estate market
A representative snapshot of the McKinney residential market drawn from recent NTREIS MLS activity, refreshed quarterly.
McKinney is the seat of Collin County — pairing a walkable Historic Downtown square with master-planned growth that has repeatedly landed the city on national best-places-to-live lists. A representative McKinney home is closing near 97–98% of asking price in roughly 32 days, with inventory loosening toward a more balanced market than the 2021–2022 peak. As selection widens, accurate pricing and a well-presented listing carry more weight than they did when nearly everything sold in days.

McKinney real estate FAQ
How much does it cost to sell a house in McKinney, TX?
Selling a McKinney home costs either a percentage commission or a flat fee, set by the listing agent. Good Public Group replaces the percentage with a flat fee scaled to the work, disclosed in writing before a seller signs.
- The fee: one flat number scaled to the marketing, negotiation, and complexity a McKinney sale requires — not a percentage of price.
- Closing costs: a standard 1–2% covers title insurance, escrow fees, and prorated property taxes, paid to third parties.
- Complex sales: new construction, builder, and luxury deals are priced separately and disclosed up front.
- In writing: every figure appears in writing before any listing agreement is signed.
A percentage commission grows with sale price; a flat fee grows with the work. On a well-priced McKinney home, that difference stays in the seller's proceeds rather than funding a percentage-based payout.
What is the average commission for a McKinney real estate agent?
A traditional McKinney commission runs as a percentage of sale price, historically split between listing and buyer-side agents. Good Public Group charges no percentage — a flat fee scaled to the work, disclosed in writing before a seller signs.
- Traditional model: a percentage of sale price, historically divided between the listing and buyer-side agents.
- After the settlement: the August 2024 NAR settlement made the buyer-side share negotiable rather than automatic, and listing-only arrangements became common.
- Good Public Group: a flat fee scaled to the work for standard transactions, with no percentage of price.
- Complex deals: new construction, builder, and luxury sales carry a disclosed complexity tier, priced separately.
A percentage rewards a higher sale price with a higher payout, regardless of added effort. A flat fee ties the cost to the work a McKinney sale actually demands, so a stronger price stays with the seller.
How long does it take to sell a house in McKinney?
A representative McKinney home sells in roughly 32 days from listing to contract, based on recent NTREIS activity. Closing typically adds 30–45 days, for a full timeline near 9–11 weeks.
- Listing to contract: roughly 32 days for a well-priced, well-presented McKinney home (recent NTREIS activity).
- Contract to closing: another 30–45 days for financing, inspection, and title.
- Full timeline: about 9–11 weeks end to end.
- Faster or slower: updated homes in Stonebridge Ranch and Craig Ranch can move quicker; older or overpriced inventory sits longer.
Pricing and presentation drive the McKinney timeline more than the calendar. A home aligned to its comparable range and shown well tends to reach contract inside the median; a home priced ahead of the market extends every stage that follows.
Do I have to pay the buyer's agent commission in McKinney?
No. The August 2024 NAR settlement made buyer-side compensation negotiable for Texas sellers. A McKinney seller can offer that compensation as a competitive tool or let the buyer cover their own agent. Good Public Group structures the offer either way.
- The rule: the August 2024 NAR settlement made buyer-side compensation negotiable rather than automatic for Texas sellers.
- Competitive tool: some McKinney sellers still offer buyer-side compensation when a home is priced firm or inventory is rising.
- Buyer pays direct: others let the buyer handle their agent's fees directly.
- The trade-offs: Good Public Group explains both paths before a McKinney seller signs a listing agreement.
Buyer-side compensation is a strategic choice in McKinney now, not a default line item. The decision turns on the home's price position and current inventory, and Good Public Group weighs both before a listing agreement is signed.
Can a flat-fee broker get me top dollar in McKinney?
Yes. Sale price is set by the market, the property, the presentation, and the negotiation — not by the fee that funded the listing. A well-priced, well-presented McKinney home sells at the top of its comparable range under a flat fee or a percentage.
- Price drivers: the market, the property, the presentation, and the negotiation determine the final number.
- Not the fee: what funded the listing does not move the sale price.
- What changes: the fee structure decides how much of the proceeds the McKinney seller keeps.
- McKinney demand: steady relocation demand, Historic Downtown McKinney appeal, and McKinney ISD schools draw strong offers to strong listings.
A flat fee and a percentage compete for the same buyers and the same comps. A McKinney home priced correctly and shown well reaches the top of its range either way, and the difference lands in the seller's net proceeds rather than the sale price.
