The Colony price snapshot
Median sale price ≈$454K (Redfin, three months ending May 2026), down 1.9% year over year, at ≈$224/sq ft - which is up 2.3% YoY. Those move in opposite directions because the mix shifted, not because homes got cheaper per foot. Homes average 3 offers and ~40 days on market. Approximate; ask for current comps by neighborhood with an as-of month.
Commute
The Sam Rayburn Tollway (SH-121) is the spine, running 26 miles from near the Dallas/Denton county line at Lewisville Lake northeast to US-75 in Collin County, with a five-level stack interchange at the Dallas North Tollway. That combination is the city's real asset: the Frisco and Legacy employment corridors are a short hop east on the tollway, and the SRT is also the link to DFW International Airport. The trade-offs are the usual ones for this part of the metro - the routes are tolled, and there is no rail.

Why work with Mali in The Colony

The Colony is a Denton County city of roughly 45,500 people wedged between Lewisville Lake and the Frisco line, on the Sam Rayburn Tollway. Its median sale price is about $454K against Frisco's $688K next door, which is most of its appeal - and unlike a lot of value plays, it is not a slow market: homes here average three offers and sell in about 40 days, faster than Frisco does. Two things a buyer must understand. It is in Denton County, not Collin. And its schools are split by address between Lewisville ISD and Little Elm ISD, so the city name tells you nothing about the campus.

  • Local to The Colony, not just "the metroplex" - she knows the neighborhoods, schools, and HOAs block by block.
  • Represents you on both sides: buying, selling, or selling-to-buy with the two closings coordinated.
  • Straight answers on price and fees up front - no pressure, no jargon.
  • Access to off-market and new-build inventory beyond what's on the public portals.

What buyers love about The Colony

  • Grandscape: a large shopping, dining and entertainment destination that draws visitors from across the metro
  • Lewisville Lake frontage on the western edge, in a city that still sits minutes from the Frisco line
  • The Sam Rayburn Tollway (SH-121), which runs from Grapevine to McKinney and connects DFW International Airport to the northern suburbs

Realtor in The Colony: common questions

How do I find a good realtor in The Colony?

Look for an agent who works The Colony specifically - not just "the DFW metroplex" - and can show recent, verifiable closings there. Mali Gariani is a licensed Texas real estate agent who represents buyers and sellers across The Colony and the surrounding North Texas suburbs, with local sales you can look up on Zillow and reviews from The Colony-area clients. The fastest way to start is a no-pressure call to talk through your timeline and price range.

How much does a realtor cost in The Colony?

Real estate commissions are negotiable and are not set by law. Since the 2024 National Association of Realtors settlement, buyer-broker compensation is agreed in writing before you tour homes, so you always know the terms up front. For sellers, Mali will walk you through what a listing costs and what it nets you before you sign anything. Ask for a straight answer on fees - a good The Colony agent gives you one.

Does Mali help with both buying and selling in The Colony?

Yes. Mali represents both buyers and sellers in The Colony: for buyers, that means finding homes (including off-market and new-build), touring, and negotiating; for sellers, a free comparative market analysis, pricing strategy, and full listing marketing. If you're doing both at once - selling to buy - she coordinates the two closings so you're not caught between them.

Which parts of The Colony does Mali cover?

All of The Colony, including The Tribute, Stewart Peninsula, Austin Waters. Because she works the whole city rather than one subdivision, she can compare neighborhoods on schools, commute, HOA, and resale for your specific shortlist instead of steering you to one pocket.

Is The Colony a good place to live?

For buyers who want to be next to Frisco without paying Frisco prices, it is one of the strongest answers in the metro. The median sale price is about $454K against Frisco's $688K, and The Colony sits on the same Sam Rayburn Tollway. The market is genuinely competitive rather than a leftover - homes average three offers and sell in around 40 days, which is faster than Frisco. Median household income is $114,511 (ACS 2024) across roughly 45,500 residents.

What school district is The Colony in?

Two of them, split by address: Lewisville ISD and Little Elm ISD. Western neighborhoods generally feed Lewisville schools and eastern sections tend to land in Little Elm boundaries, which earns an A rating from the Texas Education Agency. The city name does not tell you the district, so run the exact address through the district's boundary lookup before you write an offer.
