September 2025 Market Update: Balance Returns to the Edmond & Oklahoma City Housing Scene

The Market Snapshot: Balance Is Back

The latest Oklahoma City MLS data for September 2025 tells a clear story — our local market is steady, active, and evolving. We’re seeing more homes on the market, slightly longer listing times, and a healthy balance between buyers and sellers.

Here’s what stood out this month:

New Listings: Up 15.8% from last year
Active Inventory: Up 29.6%
Pending Contracts: Up 11.5%
Closed Sales: Up 3.1%
Average Days on Market: 38 days (up from 26 last year)
Median Sales Price: $264,999 — up 2% year-over-year
Seller Concessions: Offered in 52% of all sales, with a median of $6,000
Price Reductions: Seen on 45.8% of listings

That’s what balance looks like — plenty of movement, just with a little less frenzy.

What It Means for Sellers

Sellers, this is where strategy separates sold from still sitting. With nearly 40% of homes needing a price adjustment or failing to sell, pricing right from day one is crucial.

Homes in top condition and priced accurately are still attracting strong offers — often in under two weeks — while overpriced listings linger.

Talking point: “Our Oklahoma City MLS data shows that homes with strategic pricing and standout presentation continue to move quickly. My role is to make sure yours is one of them.”

What It Means for Buyers

For buyers, fall 2025 might just be your window of opportunity. Inventory has increased, and sellers are more flexible on terms and closing costs. That means more homes to choose from, less competition, and real negotiating power.

Talking point: “With inventory up nearly 30% and more than half of sellers contributing to closing costs, the Oklahoma City and Edmond market is working in your favor.”
