Winter vs. Spring Real Estate in OKC: What Your Local Mom Friend (and Realtor) Wants You to Know | OKC REAL ESTATE AGENT

by Brittany Gevaza

Hey friend!

If you’ve been thinking about selling your home, or maybe buying your next one here in OKC, let’s talk timing—because when you list or buy can seriously impact how fast things move and how much money ends up on the table.

I’m breaking down the difference between the winter and spring real estate markets here in Oklahoma City. I promise, it’s not as boring as it sounds—and if you stick with me, you’ll feel way more confident about when to make your move.

❄️ Winter in OKC = Slower Vibes, Serious Buyers

OKC winters can be cozy, but the real estate market? Not exactly bustling. People are traveling, busy with the holidays, or just not in the mood to tour homes in 30-degree weather (I mean, same).

Here’s what winter looks like in our local market:

Homes take a little longer to sell — around 40 to 50 days on average.
Prices are a bit lower, usually 2–4% less than spring listings.
But the buyers are motivated. If someone is house hunting in January, they’re not doing it for fun—they’re serious and ready to make moves.

If you’re selling in the winter, you may have fewer showings, but the people walking through your door mean business.

🌷 Spring = Game On in OKC Real Estate

Once March rolls around, everything picks up. People are dreaming of patios, open houses are back in full swing, and the local real estate market gets a second wind.

Here’s why spring is often the sweet spot:

Homes sell faster — typically in 20 to 30 days (or less!).
Prices go up, usually 5–7% higher than winter.
Competition heats up, which can lead to multiple offers—especially in those cute neighborhoods we all love.

So whether you’re selling or buying, spring brings more action and more opportunities.

☀️ Why Spring and Summer Just Work Better (Especially for Families)

More homes hit the market – Translation: more choices!
Moving is easier – The weather’s nicer and the kids are out of school.
Your home shows better – Flowers are blooming, the light is better, and everything just feels more inviting.
You can get more for your home – Honestly, homes that sell in the spring and summer can go for up to 10% more than those sold in winter.
