Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Payne County real estate market. *
July 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026).
Inventory and buyer activity are moving in different directions in Payne County. Active listings are up more than 25% year over year to 437, while homes sold are down roughly 7% and pending sales have fallen nearly 18%. New listings have increased about 14%, so choices for shoppers have expanded even as the pace of signed contracts has slowed.
Prices are holding relatively steady in this shifting environment. The typical home value is essentially flat year over year, and the median list price is up about 3%, suggesting sellers are still testing slightly higher asking prices. On average, homes are selling for about 97.7% of list, and the share closing above asking has dropped to a single‑digit percentage, pointing to less frequent bidding wars.
Conditions now lean toward a more balanced but still seller‑tilted market. Months of supply has climbed to 3.1 in Payne County, below the 4.2 months seen across Oklahoma, yet homes are taking around 36 days to sell, longer than in the spring. These cross‑currents mean sellers need sharp pricing and preparation, while buyers must judge value carefully in a less overheated setting. Both buyers and sellers in Payne County can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding a local real estate agent who understands these trends and can guide their decisions.
Payne County offers residents a welcoming, community-minded environment with family-friendly towns, ample outdoor recreation, strong schools, and growing local opportunities.
Payne County stands out from nearby rural areas by blending a college town energy with true small‑community roots. Stillwater anchors the county with Oklahoma State University, bringing Big 12 game days, cultural events, and research activity that support stable growth and a steady housing market. Surrounding communities like Cushing and Perkins offer quieter streets, established neighborhoods, and larger lots that appeal to buyers seeking more space without losing access to amenities.
Residents enjoy strong local services and recreation. Families value resources like Stillwater Public Schools and the Perkins‑Tryon School District, as well as higher‑education options at Oklahoma State University. Outdoor life is a real draw, with trails and water access at Lake McMurtry Natural Resource & Recreation Area and organized leagues at City of Stillwater Parks & Recreation. Local flavor comes through at long‑time favorites in downtown Stillwater and neighborhood spots across the county.
Whether you are weighing a move within Oklahoma/Stillwater or considering a relocation to Oklahoma/Payne, Oklahoma/Cushing, Oklahoma/Perkins, Oklahoma/Yale, or Oklahoma/Ripley, planning ahead is essential. Low inventory in some price ranges and competitive university‑adjacent areas mean both buyers and sellers benefit from timing, preparation, and a clear strategy. Agent Pronto can connect you with a Payne County real estate professional who understands local neighborhoods, market rhythms, and how to position you for success whether you are buying or selling.
