Oklahoma City buyers gain leverage as inventory rises and prices edge down
A surge in new listings pushed Oklahoma City's median sale price into its first annual decline in over a year. The shift signals that a largely balanced market may now be tilting in favor of buyers.
Inventory growth expands buyer choices
Active listings increased 14% from a year ago in June, more than three times the national pace, giving buyers more options than in recent years. The total reached 7,732 homes, bringing supply close to pre-pandemic levels and signaling a more balanced market. New listings also increased by 18% year over year to 2,889 homes, adding fresh inventory during the peak selling season. The steady flow of new listings has kept upward pressure on supply, even as buyer demand remains stable. With months of supply at 4.5, sellers faced more competition for buyer attention.
Demand remains steady across the metro
Buyer demand held up as households continued moving in from more expensive markets such as Dallas-Fort Worth. Moore, Norman, and Edmond all posted steady sales activity, reflecting consistent interest across the region. Population trends supported that demand, with Yukon growing 16.8% and Edmond 10.1% from 2020 to 2025. The metro also recorded a modest net inflow of about 1,900 households, reinforcing long-term housing demand.
Homes take longer to sell as market normalizes
Homes stayed on the market for 57 days on average in June, up from 55 days a year ago, as buyers took more time to evaluate options. Sellers received 98.4% of their asking price, slightly down from 98.7% last year, indicating modestly improved negotiating power for buyers. While these shifts were small, they marked a clear departure from the intense competition seen in recent years. The trend pointed to a gradual rebalancing rather than a sharp slowdown.
Homes prices dip for the first time in years
The median sale price fell 1.3% from a year earlier to $275,000 in June, marking the first decline during peak buying season in nearly a decade. The drop reflected the growing supply of homes and softer competition among buyers. Even so, Oklahoma City remained relatively affordable, with prices nearly 30% below the national level despite local incomes trailing by about 10%. This affordability continued to attract buyers looking for lower-cost alternatives. If inventory continues to build through the summer, buyers could gain additional leverage in the coming months.
