How's the Market in West Plano?

In real estate the best way to learn about your neighborhood is to look at surrounding areas, like a 5 mile radius or look at the MLS sub areas of real estate data.  National and city news is loaded with information way too broad to even touch your local real estate market.  The only way to know it's in and outs is by being in the market buying and selling houses every single day!  Trends evolve, like now it's low inventory, buyers are struggling with financing conditions and some seller's are asking for pre approval letters before you can even submit an offer.  Yes, get pre approved and your offer will more than likely be accepted first.

The good news are buyers are out there taking advantage of great rates, sellers are more realistic in their pricing but are not going to put up with hiccups that delay a closing.
Sales are better but the market is still slowly going forward.
