Workers are hammering away at plenty of new houses in progress in the suburbs north of Dallas and Fort Worth — but homebuilders have paused many projects not already in the works. Permits for single-family home construction in January plunged 65% in McKinney, 64% in Frisco, and 63% in Prosper compared with January of 2022. While one month doesn't make for a trend, those losses come on the heels of building permit losses of double-digit percentages last year in many of the hot spots historically known for new construction in Dallas-Fort Worth.
