Trading up in Melissa
Selling your first home and buying the next with one timeline, so you're never stuck in between.
Trading up in Melissa
Trading up in Melissa gets you a bigger, newer home while keeping the easy US 75 commute. It's a common move for buyers who want more space than they can afford in Frisco or McKinney.
Two moves, one plan
I lay out when to list, when to buy and when to close. Your current home gets three pricing strategies, staging advice, professional and drone photos, a listing video, Coming Soon and ads targeting the local market around the listing. If your next home is a new build, I plan around its schedule. See trading up.
Worth weighing
Shops and restaurants are still arriving, and there's the occasional landfill smell when the wind is right. If you want more amenities now, compare McKinney.

What trading up looks like in Melissa
Newer construction right on US 75 with an easy commute, in a town that's still filling in.
- The homes
- Newer construction. Prices have risen over the years, so Melissa is not as affordable as it used to be, and buyers looking for the lower price point are now moving a little further north to Anna.
- Why people choose it
- Often buyers who were priced out of Frisco and McKinney. Grocery stores and restaurants are only now arriving, and the area will keep developing.
- Schools
- Melissa ISD.
- Getting around
- Close to US 75, which makes commuting easy.
- The trade-off
- Fewer shops and restaurants for now. There is also a landfill in the area. Most days you would never know it is there, but once in a while, when the wind is right, you may notice it.
