Tulsa and Wagoner County Real Estate Market Update: July 2026

By Sarah Hoffman, REALTOR® at Legacy Realty Advisors

If you're thinking about buying or selling a home in the Tulsa area this year, the July numbers give you a clear picture of where things stand. Homes are selling fast, prices are climbing, and inventory is tight in both Tulsa and Wagoner counties. Here's what the data actually shows, and what it means for you.

Tulsa County: July 2026 Snapshot

Tulsa County stayed active through July. Closed sales hit 858, up 6.98% from July of last year. Pending sales rose to 844, and new listings reached 1,214. The median sale price climbed to $300,000, a 5.26% jump from last July.

Homes are also selling close to full price. The median sale-to-list ratio landed at 100%, meaning most sellers got what they were asking for. The median days on market ticked up slightly to 17 days, and active inventory sits at 3.16 months, which still favors sellers.

Wagoner County: July 2026 Snapshot

Wagoner County told a similar story with a few differences worth noting. Closed sales jumped 11.72% year over year to 143, and pending sales climbed 9.86% to 156. New listings were up 8.16% at 212.

The median sale price came in at $285,000, down 5.78% from last July. With only 143 closings for the month, that dip likely reflects a shift in what sold rather than a real drop in home values. Homes still sold at 100% of list price, and days on market held at 19, close to Tulsa's pace. Months of inventory dropped to 3.31, down sharply from 4.18 a year ago, which points to a market getting tighter fast.

How Tulsa Compares to the National Market

It helps to see local numbers next to the national picture. According to the National Association of REALTORS®, the median existing home sale price nationwide hit $434,100 in July 2026, up 2.0% from $425,700 the year before. Homes nationally spent a median of 29 days on the market, and the country is sitting on a 4.6-month supply of inventory, unchanged from both last month and last year (National Association of REALTORS®, 2026).

Put side by side, homes in Tulsa and Wagoner counties are selling faster and the local market is tighter than the national average. Tulsa County's 17-day median and Wagoner's 19-day median are both well under the national 29-day mark, and local months of supply sit closer to 3 while the country as a whole is closer to 5. Home prices here are also considerably more affordable than the national median, which is part of what keeps buyer demand strong in this area.

What This Means for You

If you're selling, this is still a market where well priced homes move quickly and close near asking price. A strong agent matters here too. Pricing strategy, negotiation, and real marketing are what separate a home that sells fast for top dollar from one that sits.

If you're buying, don't let a tight market scare you off. Homes are still findable, and there's often room to negotiate on properties that have been sitting a little longer. Being pre-approved and ready to move quickly makes a real difference right now.
