New Construction or Resale? How the Right McKinney REALTOR® Can Help You Decide

Luxury buyers in McKinney often face a tough question: Should I build new or buy a resale home?

Each option has benefits — but the right REALTOR® can help you determine which path matches your goals, timeline, and investment strategy.

The Case for New Construction

McKinney’s new luxury communities offer cutting-edge design, energy-efficient features, and modern floorplans. Building with Toll Brothers, Britton, or Shaddock gives you:

• Customizable selections

• Builder warranties

• New infrastructure and technology

However, building takes time and requires strategic decisions on upgrades, lot choice, and future resale appeal.

The Case for Resale Luxury Homes

Resale homes offer charm, mature landscaping, and immediate move-in. In neighborhoods like Adriatica, Eldorado Heights, and Craig Ranch Estates, you might find:

• Premium lot locations

• Established HOA amenities

• Homes with character that are no longer built today

But they may also come with aging systems or remodeling needs.

The REALTOR® Advantage

Your REALTOR® should guide you through both options objectively. That means:

• Comparing builder incentives vs. resale equity

• Evaluating neighborhood appreciation trends

• Advising on appraisal risks and inspection strategies

• Timing your offer to reduce competition

Credentials That Matter in Both Cases

Work with someone who understands both sides of the deal and holds elite certifications:

• Certified Residential Specialist (CRS)

• Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist® (CLHMS)

• Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI)
