What sells in McKinney

Competing With New Construction

McKinney buyers can drive a few minutes and walk through a brand-new home, and that is the standard an existing home is measured against. The median sale price was about $510,000 over the three months ending August 2026, down 4.4% from a year earlier, with the typical home selling in 49 days (Redfin). In that market a dated kitchen or bath is not a negotiating point, it is the reason a buyer chooses the new build.

For owners staying put, Lake Breeze Dr., here in McKinney, shows what the team does with a single room: a new primary bath in five weeks, with green vertical tile, two rain showers, a teak bench, and the family's clawfoot tub kept and re-homed inside the shower room.

For sellers, Sherman St., a few minutes north in Melissa, is our answer. A tired brick ranch bought for $200,000 became a move-in-ready home in eight weeks: a navy kitchen with an island, new flooring throughout, both bathrooms, paint inside and out, a painted brick exterior, a bunk room, and a covered patio over a new lawn. The $100,000 renovation sold the home for $475,000.

Selling or staying, the process is identical: a walkthrough, a comprehensive estimate within 48 hours, a dedicated project manager on site, and the same trades on every job.

McKinney questions

Renovating Before Selling in McKinney

Straight answers from your local experts. All questions.

Do you work in McKinney?

Yes. McKinney is part of our Collin County service area with Plano, Frisco, Allen, and Melissa. Lake Breeze Dr. is a McKinney project; Sherman St. is just north of the city line in Melissa.

How do I compete with new construction when selling in McKinney?

Give buyers the rooms they compare first: a fresh kitchen, updated bathrooms, consistent flooring, and neutral paint, plus curb appeal for the first photo. Sherman St. did exactly that in eight weeks and sold for $475,000 after a $200,000 purchase and a $100,000 renovation.

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in McKinney?

It depends on the tile, the plumbing fixtures, and whether the layout changes. Lake Breeze Dr., a complete new primary bath, was $60,000 and took five weeks. A pre-sale bath refresh with new vanities, mirrors, lighting, and fixtures is a smaller scope. The walkthrough and itemized estimate are free.

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

Refreshes finish in three to six weeks, and larger remodels run eight to twelve weeks. Lake Breeze Dr. in McKinney, a complete new primary bath, took five weeks. Schedules are set before work starts.
