Is it cheaper to live in Frisco Texas?

Here in the northern Dallas area there are several cities that are very beautiful and a pleasure to live in. Collin county has often been high on the nations fastest growing counties list! Here you will find the tax rate for many Collin County cities, as well as the average sale price of homes here.

Tax Rate Average Sale Price (Aug 2009)

Allen .556 $236,989

Frisco .450 $284,220

McKinney .5855 $214,900

Melissa .5186 $197,508

Plano .4735 $250,530

Prosper .520 $361,417

Richardson .575 $184,269

Now, just because a city has a higher"average sale price" doesn't mean that there aren't great values available for everyone including first time buyers because there are! It just means that there were more higher priced homes that sold there than perhaps some other places. A low property tax rate can help keep that home affordable to everyone! It definitely pays to shop carefully and deal with a Realtor that knows the area to help you find the best fit for your new home!!!
