Oklahoma City housing market update: steady prices, sub-6% rates
Oklahoma City, OK – February 28, 2026 – Rates dipped below 6% as the local market stayed steady, with slower sales pace and active inventory.
Top takeaways
- Recent sold-price trends look mostly flat year over year in the latest monthly data.
- Homes are taking about two months to sell on average, giving buyers more time to compare options.
- Mortgage rates dipped into the high-5% range, improving affordability heading into spring.
Oklahoma City’s recent monthly indicators continue to point to a market that’s steady rather than overheated. Pricing signals look relatively flat compared with a year ago, while the typical selling timeline remains long enough for many buyers to shop and compare neighborhoods, condition, and commute options before making an offer.
Market snapshot
Redfin’s January 2026 update for Oklahoma City, OK reported a median sale price near $259K, an average time to sell around 64 days, and 608 closed sales for the month. Together, those figures align with a slower pace than peak frenzy periods and suggest buyers generally have more room to evaluate listings.
Zillow’s ZHVI typical home value was about $203K (data through Jan. 31, 2026). Zillow also showed for-sale inventory around 2,261 and a median list price near $262K. That combination of active inventory and a median list price close to the recent median sale price supports the idea of a market where many homes still need to compete for attention—especially if they’re not fully updated.
Rates and what to watch
On the financing side, Freddie Mac’s PMMS put the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate at 5.98% (Feb. 26, 2026), placing borrowing costs in the high-5% range. If rates stay below 6% and inventory holds, expectations remain for more negotiation on homes that need repairs, while move-in-ready listings should still draw faster activity.
