Oklahoma Is One of the Best Real Estate Markets in 2025 Here’s Why

[Hector Surratt Sosa]

I’ve been watching the Oklahoma market closely, and it’s shaping up to be one of the best places to invest this year. If you’re looking for cash flow, appreciation, and affordability, this might be the spot to watch. Prices are still low compared to most markets homes are going for around $204K on average but they’re steadily climbing. Over the past year, we’ve seen values go up anywhere from 3-6%, and with more people moving in, that trend doesn’t seem to be slowing down. If you’re looking to get in before prices creep up even further, now’s the time.

The rental market is just as strong. Average rents are hovering around $1,100 a month, and properties are getting snatched up fast, with vacancy rates staying low. More people are choosing to rent as home prices rise, which means investors holding rentals are in a good position to capitalize on steady demand.

One of the biggest shifts we’re seeing is the increase in inventory. More homes are hitting the market up 14% from last year which means there are actually deals to be found. Homes are sitting for about 50 days on average, giving buyers more negotiating power compared to the craziness of the past few years. It’s a good balance right now still competitive, but not out of control.

Beyond the housing numbers, Oklahoma’s economy is thriving. Massive investments are coming into the state, especially in manufacturing. With companies pouring money into EV and semiconductor production, job growth is picking up, which will only increase demand for housing in the long run. This is exactly the kind of economic boost that makes a market attractive for real estate investors.

Looking ahead, experts predict home sales in OKC will climb more than 8% this year, with prices continuing their steady rise. It’s rare to find a market that offers both affordability and growth potential in 2025, but Oklahoma seems to have that sweet spot. Solid appreciation, strong rental demand, and an economy on the upswing there’s a lot to like here.

Is anyone investing in Oklahoma right now? What are you seeing on the ground?

@Joe S. Ah yes, I own property in Tulsa but actually also have a real estate automation company with nationwide coverage - I started adding markets to the list to illustrate the range of areas we cover but should definitely add Tulsa to the list as well!
