Oklahoma city homebuyers gain more breathing room as inventory climbs

Home prices and sales stayed largely unchanged from a year ago, but the number of homes for sale continued to grow. As inventory builds and homes take longer to sell, buyers are finding less competition and more opportunities to negotiate.

Home sales remain steady

Oklahoma City's housing market showed few signs of acceleration in July. Sales activity remained largely unchanged from a year ago, suggesting many buyers remained cautious in today's high-price, high-mortgage-rate environment.

Home sales are overwhelmingly concentrated in the single-family segment, which accounts for roughly 97% of all transactions in July. This is a significantly higher share than the broader national median, of which single-family homes account for around 83% of all home sales during the month. Part of Oklahoma City's appeal stems from the affordability of single-family residents, attracting out-of-state buyers and supporting positive population growth.

Inventory continues to grow

Inventory growth continued to reshape the market in July. The number of listings increased at a pace nearly three times faster than the national median. As more homes entered the market and sales remained flat, months of supply climbed to 4.5, the biggest build-up since the turn of the decade.

Homes also took longer to sell. Properties spent an average of 57 days on the market, the highest July reading in nearly a decade and more than 40% longer than in July 2022. This elongated timeline gave buyers more opportunities to compare homes and negotiate favorable terms.

More listings push supply higher

Home prices remained largely unchanged from a year ago, even as inventory expanded and selling times increased. That stability suggested demand remained strong enough to support home values even as buyers gained additional leverage.

Even with affordability challenges for some households, relatively stable prices provided buyers with greater certainty than they faced during the period of rapid appreciation earlier in the decade. Sellers, meanwhile, were still able to benefit from steady demand, though pricing homes competitively became increasingly important as inventory grew.

While asking rates signaled steady pricing, final pricing suggested buyers are beginning to retain more leverage. The average home sold for 97% of its asking price in July, meaning buyers were often able to negotiate discounts. That's a notable shift from 2021 and 2022, when homes frequently sold at or above asking price as buyers competed for a limited supply of listings.
