If you seller-financed land in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex — whether acreage in Collin County, rural tracts in Denton, lots in booming Frisco or Plano, or parcels in Tarrant, Rockwall, or Kaufman Counties — you hold a valuable Dallas land note.
The DFW area's status as one of the fastest-growing U.S. metros (corporate HQs, tech boom, population surge) drives strong demand for land and makes notes here particularly attractive to buyers.
This Dallas-specific 2026 guide details local market dynamics, valuation considerations unique to Dallas County and surrounding areas, prevalent note structures, and the tailored selling process.
For the statewide overview, see our complete Texas guide.
Why Dallas Land Notes Are in High Demand
DFW metro (Dallas + 12 surrounding counties) leads Texas growth:
- Corporate relocations (Toyota, Liberty Mutual, etc.).
- Tech and finance hubs in Plano/Frisco.
- Suburban expansion north along US-75 and I-35E.
- Seller-financing common on exurban acreage.
Result: Robust buyer pool → competitive pricing (often lower discounts than rural Texas).
Dallas-Specific Valuation Factors
Beyond standard criteria:
- Growth corridor premium: Notes near Frisco, Prosper, or Celina price highest due to explosive development.
- DFW Airport proximity: Industrial/commercial potential boosts value.
- Tollway access: Properties along Dallas North Tollway or SRT more desirable.
- Floodplain/lake areas: Cedar Creek or Lewisville Lake zones impact insurance/risk.
Typical performing Dallas note discount: 10-25% (strong market support).
