Plano Real Estate Market Update - January 2, 2026
What the data says
Happy New Year!
Plano's real estate market entered 2026 with measured activity, as 22 new listings came to market and 34 homes closed during the short holiday week. Current inventory stands at 411 active listings with a median price of $545,000—just above last year's median of $540,000. A wave of 59 expired or cancelled listings reduced available inventory by 8%, while only 124 properties are in pending status, hinting at lower sales volume for January 2026.
The pricing landscape heading into 2026 shows 16 price reductions against only 1 price increase, confirming that sellers maintaining aggressive list prices struggled to find buyers even during the typically slower holiday period. The inventory level and pending-to-active ratio as we enter 2026 suggests a balanced market where buyers have real choices but motivated sellers are still finding buyers when priced correctly.
Plano home sellers entering 2026 face the reality that 59 cancelled or expired listings left the market in the final week of December—a cautionary tale about pricing accuracy and market timing, and pricing smartly from the start facilitates better overall results. For those on the market now, fresh interest from prospective buyers in the new year can mean a bump in visibility and better opportunities for contracts compared to the last two holiday weeks.
