Building permits for future construction of homes in the suburbs north of Dallas — including Frisco, McKinney, Prosper and more — are falling faster than the national rate as North Texas builders focus on finishing jobs already in progress but shelve new ones. With January and February totals in the books, single-family building permits are down 43% in Frisco, 39% in McKinney, and 42% in Prosper compared to the first two months of last year, according to data compiled by Addison-based Tomlin Investments, which tracks new home construction north of Dallas-Fort Worth.
