Selling in Addison? Price it from the street up.

In a town where only about 18% of homes are owner-occupied, your buyer pool is small and your comparables are few, so a price set even slightly high can sit for weeks. Price from the most recent sales of your exact product type, and get ahead of inspection items like roof age, HVAC and water heater condition, because buyers comparing Addison against newer suburbs will negotiate hard on repairs. Clean, documented maintenance records help defend value with an appraiser when comps are thin.

For tax year 2025 the combined rate in Addison was about 2.14% in Dallas ISD (town 0.6081, Dallas ISD 0.993835, plus 0.534075 for Dallas County, Parkland Hospital and Dallas College per $100) and about 2.09% in Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD. On a $500,000 home at 2.14% that is about $10,700 a year, or roughly $890 a month, before the town's 20% homestead exemption and the school exemptions. For 2026 the town cut its rate to 0.5981, but the Dallas County appraisal district's estimate shows the county rate rising, so check your own notice.
