Tulsa Home Sales Surge to Record High in April 2026

Tulsa's housing market roared into April 2026 with closed sales climbing over 7% year-over-year, while pending sales soared more than 10%, according to local realtor updates. New listings dipped slightly by 1.18%, tightening supply in Green Country and sustaining a seller's edge, though experts note the market is 'barely' holding that status. This surge builds on March trends, where active inventory reached 1,055 homes, up 13.6% from 2025, yet demand outpaced supply in key segments.

Median sale prices in Tulsa County hit $280,000 last month, a 7.7% increase year-over-year, with price per square foot at $155, up 3.3%. Earlier data showed February medians at $274,750, reflecting a 5.7% annual rise amid national trends. Remote workers continue flocking to affordable Tulsa neighborhoods like Brookside and Cherry Street, drawn by low costs—nearly $160,000 below national medians—and quality of life, even as some listings see price cuts.

The market splits: hot properties pend in 20 days, while others linger at 56 days on market, prompting one in three homes to drop prices. Forecasts predict existing home sales accelerating 11% in 2026, with new sales up 5%, signaling sustained growth. Realtors urge sellers in Tulsa to price aggressively from day one amid evolving dynamics.
