Norman and OKC Real Estate Market Update December 2025

Norman and OKC Real Estate Market Check-In: December 2025

Market Overview

The Norman and Oklahoma City markets are wrapping up the year with stable demand, tightening inventory, and strong interest from both local buyers and out-of-state investors. While activity slows seasonally in December, competitively priced homes continue to move, and investors remain active due to affordability and consistent rent growth.

Below is your standalone Central Oklahoma update for December.

Market Snapshot

Market Type: Balanced
Average Days on Market: 34
Active Listings: Slight decline as homeowners wait for January
Buyer Activity: Serious buyers remain active
Seller Activity: Motivated with increased flexibility
Investor Activity: Strong due to affordability and term-based deals

What We Are Seeing This Month

1. Seasonal Slowdown but Stable Demand

Activity slows in December, but buyers who remain in the market are intentional and ready to act. Homes priced under 300,000 in Norman, Moore, and OKC are still going under contract relatively quickly.

2. Strong Affordability Continues to Push Demand

Oklahoma remains one of the most affordable markets in the region, making it attractive for:

  • First-time buyers

  • Relocations

  • Investors seeking high cash flow compared to Texas

This creates healthy demand even during seasonal dips.

3. Inventory Tightening Into the Holidays

New listings slow in December, reducing overall inventory. This benefits sellers who stay on the market, as competition is lower and buyers have fewer options.

4. Investors Capitalizing on Creative Terms

We continue to see openness from sellers facing:

  • Tax liens

  • Deferred maintenance

  • Payment challenges

  • Relocation timelines

Creative financing remains common, with many deals structured through:

  • Subject-to

  • Seller financing

  • Wrap resales

  • Partnership rehabs

This aligns with the same strategies highlighted in your investor blog posts.

Investor Highlights

  • Norman student rentals remain high-demand going into the spring semester.

  • OKC value-add opportunities under 220,000 offer strong upside.

  • Sellers in distress before year-end create opportunities for creative structures.

What to Expect This Month

  • Tighter inventory leading up to the holidays

  • More flexible sellers

  • Slower pace but higher quality buyers

  • Multiple exit strategies still viable

Holiday Reminder

Title companies, lenders, and county offices will have reduced hours during Christmas and New Year’s. If your goal is to close before year-end, start contract and title work early.
