What the numbers say

Active listings are up 31.6% from last month, so buyers in Celina generally have more homes to choose from and more room to negotiate on price and seller concessions. Median days on market is up 11%, which suggests homes are taking longer to sell. The median list price can swing when the mix of homes on the market changes, such as more new construction or fewer luxury listings. It is not the same thing as home values or an appraisal.

Living and buying in Celina

Much of what's for sale in Celina is new or recently built, including master-planned communities such as Light Farms, so builder incentives and spec-home availability can matter as much as the list price.

Celina ISD serves the city, and growth along the Dallas North Tollway corridor is steadily adding retail and services. Because the town is changing quickly, look at what's planned nearby, such as roads, schools and commercial development, before you buy.

Good to know

  • Compare builder incentives, such as rate buydowns and closing-cost credits, against your own financing options.
  • Ask about MUD or PID taxes and HOA fees, and plan for construction timelines if you're buying a to-be-built home.
  • School zoning, HOA dues and tax rates vary by address. I check them with you before you make an offer.
