Trading up into Painted Tree
Selling your first home and buying the next with one timeline, so you're never stuck in between.
Trading up in Painted Tree
Trading up in Painted Tree is about getting the kitchen and floor plan you've been missing: a modern kitchen, an open plan, an office, a game or media room, energy efficiency and a builder warranty, in a community that kept its trees.
Timing your sale with a build
I plan both sides so your current home sells in step with the new home's closing. 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. On the Painted Tree side, I compare builders and negotiate for you. See trading up.
Worth knowing
If your current home is resale near Painted Tree, it's competing with these same builders, so pricing matters. See selling in McKinney.

What trading up looks like in Painted Tree
New construction on the US 380 corridor, where the developer kept the mature trees, creeks and wetlands.
- The homes
- A fairly new community divided into three districts: Woodland, Village and Lakeside. Townhomes, cottage-style homes, single-family and luxury homes, plus a rental neighborhood. Prices run from the low $400s to over $1,000,000 (as of September 2026). Builders as of September 2026: Bloomfield, CB JENI, Centre Living, Coventry, David Weekley, Drees, Normandy, Southgate, Tri Pointe and Trophy Signature.
- Why people choose it
- Buyers after a modern kitchen, an open floor plan, an office, game or media rooms, energy efficiency and a builder warranty. The developer deliberately kept the mature trees, wetlands, creek areas and other natural features, which is unusual for new construction.
- Schools
- The community is large enough to be zoned to several schools: McClure and Minshew Elementary, Cockrill and Johnson Middle, and McKinney Boyd and McKinney North High School. Check the zoning for the specific address.
- Getting around
- On the US 380 corridor, closer to downtown McKinney and with easier access to the highways.
- Nearby
- A 20-acre stocked pond, a walking trail system, pools, and Outpost Park (11.5 acres).
- The trade-off
- Buyers give up mature landscaping, established yards, and the predictability of a community that is already finished.
