Seventy-five new listings this week is the most selection buyers have seen all year. That gap between available options and competition level doesn't stay open long once April gets going. If you've been waiting for more options, they're here. Act accordingly.
Plano Real Estate Market Update - April 3, 2026
What the data says
The Plano residential market opened April with 420 active listings - up only 5 from last week - despite 75 new listings hitting the market, the highest single-week count of 2026. Supply absorption tells the real story. Buyer activity is largely keeping pace with new inventory, keeping inventory low by any reasonable measure. There were 464 homes available during Christmas week, a notoriously slow period. The market has processed a spring surge without meaningful accumulation. National mortgage rates edged up again to 6.46% - the fifth consecutive weekly increase - yet demand continues to show up.
The contract pipeline held at 262 properties, essentially flat from last week's 261, as 62 transactions closed and 75 new contracts were likely written to replenish it. March ended with 171 closings - the strongest month of 2026 - and the momentum appears to be carrying into April. Forty price reductions in one week against a backdrop of only 420 active listings tells you the market has a ceiling, but it isn't softening. It's sorting. The homes priced correctly are contracting at 23 days; everything else is accumulating days and waiting for sellers to adjust.
Year-over-year context: 415 active listings this time last year vs. 420 today - essentially identical - but 171 March closings vs. 168 in March of last year shows demand holding steady heading into spring.
Forty price reductions this week is the market drawing a clear line. Demand is real and absorption is strong, but buyers are writing contracts at 23 days on correctly priced homes and driving past everything else. Spring is working in your favor - but it isn't covering for overpricing
