This hot Dallas suburb is No. 1 real estate market in America for 2026

When it comes to real estate, it doesn't get hotter than Frisco and McKinney. The two popular Dallas neighbors have topped a list of the best real estate markets in the U.S. for 2026. Nearby Denton and Allen also made the top 10.


The four Dallas-Fort Worth cities dominated WalletHub's annual study that compares the real estate markets in 300 U.S. cities based on 17 relevant metrics, such as "housing market attractiveness," home value forecasts, housing affordability, population growth, and many others. Cities were also ranked by size: large cities with over 300,000 residents; midsize cities with 150,000-300,000 residents; and small cities with fewer than 150,000 residents.


McKinney had been the leading real estate market in America for the last three years in a row, while Frisco ranked No. 6 last year. But Frisco eclipsed McKinney in this year's report, taking the No. 1 spot and proving to be more desirable for residents and homeowners.

Frisco tops the nationwide "affordability and economic environment" category, and ranks No. 2 nationally for its real estate market.

I met Dennis over 30 years ago, we were colleagues in the aviation industry. It was there that I noticed Dennis' attention to detail. He had the ability to multitask and keep on point because of his attention to detail. Now 30+ years later I find myself moving back to North Texas and needing a realtor to assist in a new residence. From the first meeting I could see that attention to detail I noticed so many years ago was still alive. Dennis listened to all my housing wishes, my dos and don’ts, and within 3 days we made an offer that was accepted. The house Dennis led me to was exactly what I had in mind! Over my life I’ve worked with many realtors, some good, some not so good. But I can honestly say Dennis has been the best. We went from an offer to closing in 4 weeks and I credit it all to Dennis.
