View Dallas market analysis →The Surge Take: Plano
Plano scores 51.1/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #50 of 55 Dallas-area submarkets we track. That's in the lower tier of the Dallas market on our score, which usually reflects thinner guest demand. Deals here need to be underwritten conservatively — the entry price has to do the heavy lifting. The average listing here grosses $40,504/year — about 18% below the Dallas metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.
The revenue profile is a $212 average daily rate at 65% occupancy (RevPAR $111). That's a healthy mid-market ADR — the sweet spot for durable demand from both leisure and work travel. As a suburban submarket, demand skews toward families, relocations, and medical or project stays — larger homes tend to outperform.
The key caveat is regulation: Plano restricts short-term rentals — New STRs banned in single-family neighborhoods; legacy pre-2023 STRs may register; $300/year. Parcel-level due diligence is essential here; confirm the specific property is eligible before underwriting STR income.
