January 2022 shocked with just 160 sales—the lowest volume seen—yet prices surged to $468,450, nearly matching 2021's peak. The culprit? Only 48 homes available entering February. With 102% sold-to-list and buyers bidding up top homes 104%+ in central Plano, the inventory crisis reached new extremes. The under-$250K market was essentially extinct.

Plano closed 2021 with explosive 19.3% price growth and 3,037 homes sold—up 7% despite inventory constraints. Entering 2022 with just 59 homes available (10 days of supply) and 70% of homes selling at/above asking, the stage was set for another competitive year. The sold-to-list ratio of 103% and 7-day absorption signaled buyers remained aggressive as spring approached.

November 2021 delivered 251 sales while the median price hit $470,000 (tied annual high). Buyers paid 102% of asking, with homes selling in 6 days. Only 137 homes (≈2-week supply) remain, +22% YoY. Buyers must be prepared; sellers can capture premiums.

October 2021 showed 272 sales at $440,000 median—up 17% year-over-year—with the sold-to-list ratio cooling to 101% and days on market extending to 8 as some frenzy burned off. But with just 130 homes available (half a month of supply), inventory remained the story. Entry-level East Plano led bidding intensity while prices stabilized after spring's run-up.

September 2021 brought stabilization at $450,000 median for the third month as 279 homes sold with the sold-to-list cooling to 101.8%. Still, 70% sold at or above asking in 8 days with just 0.7 months supply (188 homes). The frenzy moderated but entry-level pressure remained intense, especially in East Plano at 102.7% sold-to-list. Top homes still commanded significant premiums.

August 2021 brought 327 sales at $450,000 median—matching July and up from prior years—with buyers still bidding 2% above asking in just 6 days. Inventory crept to 192 homes (0.6 months supply), showing early moderation signs from spring's frenzy. Entry-level East Plano led bidding intensity while West Plano's luxury segment showed closest-to-list pricing. Top prepared homes captured 7-12% premiums.

July 2021 shattered volume records with 347 sales while prices stabilized at $450,000 . Buyers still bid 4% above asking in 6 days with 200 homes available (2 weeks supply). The frenzied ultra-competitive environment shows first moderation signs from spring's peak, but remains extraordinarily strong. Top homes captured 7-10% premiums through preparation and smart pricing.

June 2021 hit a new median high of $469,250 with 338 sales—most in years—as buyers bid 6%+ above asking in just 5 days. First half 2021 totaled 1,449 sales (up 19% YoY) at $430K median with 190 homes available (2 weeks supply). Top quartile homes command 7-10% premiums. While still red-hot, preparation and pricing strategy now separate winners from price-reducers.

May 2021 brought 304 sales at $439,200 median with buyers bidding 5%+ above asking in just 4 days—essentially the transaction minimum. With only 148 homes available (one-fifth of year-ago inventory), the super seller's market persisted. Summer 2021 potentially represented the best seller's market ever: minimal competition, maximum demand, and top homes capturing 8-10%+ premiums through preparation.

April 2021 exploded with 262 sales at $448,700 median—up $30K from March—as buyers bid 5%+ above asking in just 4 days. With under 170 homes available (2 weeks supply), the top quartile captured 8-10% premiums in fierce bidding wars. Double last year's volume showed pent-up demand unleashed. Spring 2021's scorching market may represent the best seller's opportunity ever seen.
