Blog > Are There Seasonal Trends in the Tulsa Real Estate Market?
Like most U.S. cities, Tulsa’s housing market follows predictable seasonal cycles—but with its own Oklahoma twist. Understanding these trends can help buyers and sellers time their moves for the best outcome.
Spring and Early Summer: The Peak Season
From March through July, Tulsa’s housing activity reaches its high point. Families looking to move before the school year drive demand, inventory expands, and homes sell faster and closer to asking price. In many years, the average days on market (DOM) drops under 25 days during this stretch.

Sellers: You’ll get more showings and stronger offers, but face higher competition.
-
Buyers: Expect bidding wars for well-staged homes in Midtown and South Tulsa.
Fall: Opportunity Season
Between September and November, the pace slows slightly. Sellers who listed in summer are often more negotiable, creating chances for buyers to secure better deals.
Winter: Low Inventory, Motivated Players
From December through February, listings decline sharply—sometimes by 30–40%. However, serious buyers still search, and fewer competitors mean motivated negotiations. Historically, this is when Tulsa investors find their best bargains.
Local Insight
Weather plays a role, too. Winter storms or spring tornado threats can temporarily delay showings, but they rarely derail the market.
