Do not price it like an owner-occupant dream if buyers are discounting.
If you are deciding whether to sell a property you have been renting out, the biggest risk is pricing it as if buyers will pay full ask without negotiation. My rule assume you will need room for a buyer discount and plan your net accordingly.
In January 2026, buyers in McKinney, TX paid about 96.4% of asking, and a typical sold price was $444,950 in January 2026. Also in January 2026, supply measured 2.89 months, which helps explain why deals still tended to close below ask. The practical impact is simple even with 2.89 months of supply in January 2026, the typical buyer still negotiated below asking in McKinney, TX. Some metrics were not reported for this period, but a consistent discount-to-asking environment means your exit strategy should protect your net from day one instead of relying on a perfect offer later. Run the numbers before you list. Use the January 2026 96.4% of asking benchmark as your working assumption when you evaluate your minimum acceptable net. Then price to attract serious buyers quickly, because a typical 63-day timeline in January 2026 means holding costs can quietly erode your outcome if you miss the market early.
