Wylie's median sale price is cited in a $388,000-$435,000 range across sources as of 2026 (base record) -- below the roughly $490,000-$530,000 cited for Rockwall elsewhere in this batch, well below the roughly $509,723 cited for McKinney and the roughly $670,000-$705,000 cited for Frisco in this dataset's existing texas-dfw-satellites-1.js record, and far below Prosper's roughly $850,000-$887,000 range in this same batch.
A property tax rate that was not independently confirmed this session
Wylie's primary county (Collin) property tax rate was not independently sourced this session, nor were the Dallas or Rockwall County portions of the city specifically confirmed -- see the taxes-insurance topic for the full disclosure. Do not assume Rockwall County's separately sourced 1.54% rate (documented for the city of Rockwall elsewhere in this dataset) transfers directly to Wylie, since Wylie's primary county is Collin, not Rockwall.
