OKC MARKET UPDATE: March 2026

Dated: April 15 2026

The Oklahoma City metro housing market is showing signs of increased activity as we head into the spring season. We are seeing a significant boost in the number of homeowners deciding to list their properties, which is providing much-needed breathing room for the market. While the median sales price continues to climb steadily, the pace of sales has slowed slightly, with homes staying on the market a few days longer than they did this time last year. This shift suggests a market that is finding a more balanced rhythm between eager buyers and motivated sellers.

What This Means for Buyers

For those looking to purchase a home, the double-digit increase in available inventory is a breath of fresh air, offering you more options than you would have found a year ago. Because homes are taking slightly longer to sell and the supply of inventory has grown, you may find yourself with a bit more leverage during negotiations. However, with prices still on an upward trajectory, it remains important to have your financing in order and be prepared to move quickly when the right property appears. This "months’ supply" of inventory is still relatively low, meaning that while there is more choice, the market remains competitive for well-priced, high-quality homes.

What This Means for Sellers

If you are considering selling, the current market remains very favorable as equity continues to grow alongside rising median sales prices. While there are more competing listings on the market, the high volume of pending sales proves that buyer demand is still robust and active. You should expect your home to stay on the market for about eight weeks on average, so patience and proper staging are becoming more critical to stand out. Sellers are still receiving nearly 99% of their original list price, indicating that if a home is priced correctly for the current conditions, it will still command top dollar.

Summary

The March data reveals a dynamic market where both supply and demand are rising together, creating opportunities for everyone involved. Whether you are looking to capitalize on your home's equity or find a new place to call your own, navigating these shifts requires expert local knowledge.
