Oklahoma City, OK housing market

Oklahoma City, OK metro median sale price $276K in Jul–Sep 2026, up 1.1% year over year. Also days on market, price cuts, affordability and ZIP-code figures.

The median sale price in the Oklahoma City, OK metro is $276K over Jul–Sep 2026, up 1.1% from the same 3 months a year earlier. The gain is smaller than in most of the 383 U.S. metros Pecan Street ranks on this measure. FHFA's repeat-sales index for the metro agrees within 1.3 points (up 2.4% through Q2 2026).

On median sale price, Oklahoma City ($276K) ranks 2nd of the four Oklahoma metros Pecan Street tracks, between Tulsa ($290K) and Enid ($202K). On median days on market, Oklahoma City (60 days) ranks 3rd of the four Oklahoma metros, between Enid (61 days) and Lawton (59 days). On share of listings with a price cut, Oklahoma City (35%) ranks 2nd of the four Oklahoma metros, between Tulsa (39%) and Enid (31%).

Listings spent a median 60 days on market in Oct 2026. 35% of active listings carry a price cut; the 3-month average vs a year earlier is 3.7 points lower. Median asking prices sit about 14% above the median sale price. Building permits authorized 572 new housing units in Sep 2026.

At the 7.12% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, principal and interest on a median-priced home come to $1,488 a month; at 28% of gross income, that takes about $64K a year. The median sale price equals about 13 years of HUD Fair Market Rent, a ratio down 1.1% from a year earlier. That ratio is lower than in most of the 373 metros. Active listings ask a median $170 per square foot; the 3-month average vs a year earlier is up 0.2%.

In seven of the 12 ZIP codes in the table below, median list prices are lower than a year earlier; four are higher; one is unchanged.

Rank across the U.S. metros Pecan Street tracks, on market data alone — a higher rank means more of that measure (more price cuts, faster price growth, a wider asking-vs-sale gap, a higher price-to-rent ratio, or more days on market). The bar shows where this metro sits within that metric’s own cohort (left is more, right is less); ↑ and ↓ mark the positions furthest from the middle, and rows are ordered the same way. Metrics without data for this metro are omitted.

Asking price / sq ft$170 +0.2% 3-month average vs a year earlier

Price-to-rent divides the median sale price by the annual HUD Fair Market Rent (a 3-bedroom, 40th-percentile benchmark), so it is a directional rent-vs-buy read, not a cap rate; its year-over-year change is directional in the same way. Asking price per square foot is the median across active for-sale listings (Realtor.com), as of Oct 2026. The bar under a figure places this metro among the U.S. metros we track on that measure, highest first.

Market pressure

Listings with a price cut≈ 35% -3.7 pts 3-month average vs a year earlier
189th of 385 (top 50%)
New housing units permitted572

The median asking price $315K runs about 14% above the median sale price $276K.

Price-cut share is the portion of active for-sale listings that have taken a price reduction (Realtor.com), as of Oct 2026. New housing units authorized by residential building permits in the metro that month — new supply in the pipeline, which counts of existing listings don't capture (US Census Bureau, Building Permits Survey), as of Sep 2026. Asking is the median list price of active listings (Realtor.com, Oct 2026); sale is the headline median of recent closings (Redfin, Jul–Sep 2026) — distinct sources and windows, so the gap is a directional read, not a like-for-like difference. The bar under a figure places this metro among the U.S. metros we track on that measure, highest first.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Building Permits Survey · data through September 2026

Builders in the Oklahoma City metro area pulled 6,409 single-family permits in the twelve months through September 2026, 3.3% more than in the twelve months before. So far in 2026, permits are running 6.6% above the same months of 2025.

Why it matters. Permits come before starts, and starts come before new homes for sale, so this is the earliest read on how much new building is planned in the Oklahoma City area. When the permit pipeline shrinks, buyers see fewer new-build options later; when it grows, sellers of existing homes face more competition from builders.

Source: FHFA house price index; recession dates from NBER · data through Q2 2026

FHFA's all-transactions index for the Oklahoma City metro area in the second quarter of 2026 was 2.4% above its level a year earlier. Since 1978, prices have risen an average of 4.1% a year. Nationally, prices were 3.0% higher than a year earlier.

Why it matters. Long-run context shows how the latest change in Oklahoma City home prices compares with the market's own history, including the recessions shaded on the chart. When appreciation slows, sellers have less room for a list price to run ahead of recent sales, and buyers feel less pressure to stretch to keep up; when it speeds up, the reverse holds: list prices can run ahead of recent sales and buyers compete harder.
