How Much More House You Get in Dallas vs. the Northeast

Luxury buyers relocating from the Northeast to Dallas are often shocked by how much more their budget gets them in Texas. REALTOR® Nitin Gupta, CRS, GRI, breaks down the price-to-space advantage—and what kinds of homes you can realistically expect to own in top Dallas suburbs.

From Connecticut to Long Island, from Westchester to metro Boston—real estate in the Northeast comes at a premium. Buyers there often pay millions for older homes on small lots with limited amenities.

But when those same buyers come to Dallas, the experience changes fast.

Nitin Gupta, a top relocation REALTOR® serving luxury buyers from the Northeast, walks you through the price difference and lifestyle upgrade you can expect in top suburbs like Frisco, Southlake, and Prosper.
