Home sales in Frisco were down 1% in October as compared to the same time last year. The average sales price increased 2% while the median sales price rose 6%.

Unfortunately if you are a buyer, these increases only took the months of inventory up to 2.9 months. Still well short of the 6 months considered a balanced market.
