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 $511,000 in August 2026, down about 4.5% from a year earlier, with the typical home selling in 45 days (Redfin, via our Collin County note). In that market a dated kitchen or bath is not a negotiating point, it is the reason a buyer chooses the new build.
Sherman St. 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.
For owners staying put, Lake Breeze Dr. shows the same team on 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. 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, and Allen. Sherman St. and Lake Breeze Dr. are both McKinney projects.
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 long does a bathroom renovation take?
Lake Breeze Dr., a complete new primary bath, took five weeks. Pre-sale bath refreshes with new vanities, mirrors, lighting, and fixtures are faster. You have a comprehensive estimate within 48 hours of the walkthrough.
