Builders pulled 49 permits for new single-family homes in Frisco in September, according to the city's Development Services monthly report, which goes to the City Council as an information item Tuesday, Oct. 20.
That is well under the report's 24-month average of 84 a month, and the trend line on its two-year chart has been sliding since late 2024, when monthly totals were well above 100.
Commercial building slowed in September as well. The city issued two permits for new commercial buildings, against a two-year average of eight, and 19 permits for finish-outs, additions and alterations, against an average of 36.
Apartments and lots
Multifamily work already underway is a different picture. The report counts 5,283 apartment units under construction: 4,858 in what the city calls urban living projects and 425 in garden-style complexes.
For single-family land, the report puts the supply of finished residential lots at 18 months and the pipeline of lots in the works at 39 months. Its chart labels 24 months as a balanced market.
The report lists Frisco's population at 249,511, with an annual growth rate of 2%.
