Plano Market Report - January 2026
Plano > Market Intelligence > Plano Market Report - January 2026The Coldest January in a Decade
January 2026 closed with just 102 single-family home sales in Plano—the lowest monthly total in over ten years according to our proprietary market data archive tracking back to 2015. To put that in context, Plano averaged 150 closings each January over the past decade. This year came in 32% below that baseline.
Before jumping to conclusions about market collapse, understand what January closings actually measure: contracts written 30-45 days earlier, primarily in November and December 2025. The real story isn't January weakness—it's holiday season buyer hesitation in Q4 2025.
The timing creates a natural experiment. Were buyers genuinely pulling back from Plano? Or did they simply pause during the holidays, planning to re-engage in 2026? The answer reveals itself in current inventory dynamics and pending contract activity—which we'll examine below.
But first, the paradox: if January closings were historically weak, why did some ZIP codes see price increases year-over-year?

Reading the ZIP Code Divergence
The table above reveals Plano's market isn't monolithic. While overall volume decreased, pricing behavior diverged sharply by geography and price point.
West Plano (75093) shows resilience. Despite modest transaction volume (18 sales), the median price jumped 13.5% year-over-year to $652,500 with per-square-foot pricing at $240, consistent with what we saw in 2025.
Central Plano (75075) held value. With median prices up 5.1% to $499,000, this represents Plano's demographic center performing as expected—stable demand, realistic pricing, efficient absorption at 26 days on market. The 2% difference between the sold vs list and sold vs original price does suggest that sellers had to make price reductions to entice buyers.
East Plano (75074) demonstrates value positioning. The $375,000 median (-2.3% YoY) reflects this region's role as Plano's most accessible entry point. Sellers in this price point did not do many price reductions, with the sold vs list price and sold vs original price both in the same 98% range.

The Inventory Paradox: Scarcity vs. Selection
Here's where January 2026 gets interesting. According to our weekly market tracking, Plano has maintained approximately 400 active listings throughout early 2026.
At last year's absorption rate of 191 closings per month, 400 homes represents just 2.1 months of supply. Traditional real estate analysis calls anything under 3 months a "strong seller's market." Yet January's 102 closings tell a different story—at that pace, 400 homes equals nearly 4 months of supply, approaching balanced or even slight buyer-advantage territory.
Which number is real? Both—and neither.
The supply calculation shifts by price point. Aggregating "months of supply" across all of Plano hides critical stratification:
Entry-level (<$400K): Genuine scarcity. 70 active listings represents just 1.8 months of supply. Buyers here will experience competition for quality inventory - and we saw that in the 98%+ Sold/List ratio in January.
Mid-market ($400K-$750K): Deceptive abundance. 253 active listings, but many are aged inventory (60+ DOM) with pricing disconnect. Well-positioned homes move quickly; the rest accumulate.
High-end ($750K-$1.5M): Selective equilibrium. 68 listings serving motivated corporate buyers. Volume is low but velocity remains efficient for properties priced correctly.
Luxury ($1.5M+): Micro-market dynamics. 10 Active listings is not a lot, though January saw one of Plano’s highest-ever luxury sales. More on that below.
The forward indicator that matters: New listing velocity and contract activity week-over-week. If January's low closing volume reflected a temporary holiday pause rather than structural demand weakness, we'd expect to see both metrics accelerate in late January and February as buyers who postponed Q4 decisions re-enter the market. Early February data (available in our weekly updates) will clarify whether we're experiencing a pause or a pivot.
Notable Transaction: Kings Gate Delivers Statement Sale
While January's overall volume disappointed, Plano's luxury tier delivered a statement transaction: a $7.5 million listing in Kings Gate closed this month, representing the fifth-highest residential sale in Plano's history.

The Plano Luxury market maintains unique dynamics. As documented in our 2025 Annual Report, homes priced above $1.5M averaged just 22 days on market with 96.1% sold-to-original-list ratios. The ultra-wealthy don't wait for perfect conditions - they transact when the right property appears, often with minimal negotiation if positioning is appropriate.
What to Watch: Early Supply & Demand Signals
In 2025, DFW experienced a massive increase in listings. Plano's experience was muted, but new listings still outpaced buyer contracts—resulting in large numbers of cancelled listings and what we call "shadow inventory."
Our measure, Net New Listings, takes new listings and subtracts cancellations and expirations to see how seller activity affects current inventory. Combining that with purchase contracts shows how buyer behavior aligns with seller activity.
In January, buyer contracts outpaced net new listings—a reversal of 2025's pattern. The next few weeks of February will show how we're set up for spring. If buyers continue absorbing new listings, we'll see seller's market conditions and upward price pressure. If listings start outpacing demand, pricing will remain soft.
Aging inventory: At the time of this update, active inventory had a median days on market of 50—higher than the 36 DOM for closed homes in January. As inventory sits longer, it becomes stale and buyers lose interest, often resulting in cancelled or expired listings. These properties join "shadow inventory"—our term for homeowners who want to sell but are watching market conditions or reassessing their strategy. Shadow inventory is future supply.
