Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Inventory in Oakland has tightened in the latest rolling three-month view, with active listings down nearly a third from a year ago and sitting at just 7 homes. New listings have dropped sharply over the past year as well, contributing to only 1 recent new listing and a lean 1.3 months of supply. Even with fewer options, contract activity has held up reasonably, with 6 pending sales and only a modest year-over-year dip in closed sales.
Pricing is reacting in mixed ways to these shifts. Typical home value over the rolling three months is up strongly compared with last year, rising more than 17 percent, yet the median list price has fallen by roughly a third year over year as sellers adjust their asking strategies.
Days on market tell another part of the story, with the median listing now taking about 131 days to sell in this rolling period, a dramatic change from much faster-moving conditions seen in late 2023. Despite that slower pace, the average sale-to-list ratio has inched higher compared with a year ago, at about 99 percent, suggesting buyers are still paying close to asking prices. With Oakland classified as a seller’s market, both buyers looking for value and sellers trying to time a listing can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding the right local agent.
Oakland offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community, convenient access to green spaces and local amenities, and practical, everyday services that support a comfortable, active lifestyle.
Oakland stands apart from larger nearby communities like Sumter and Shaw AFB by offering a quieter, close-knit feel while still keeping daily conveniences within easy reach. Residents value the slower pace, tree-lined local roads, and a lifestyle that feels more rural residential than suburban sprawl.
Everyday life centers on community connections. Families often travel a short distance into Sumter County for work, shopping, and schools, while enjoying the calm of coming home to Oakland. Outdoor recreation is a big part of the routine, with spots like Shaw AFB Outdoor Recreation offering lake access, boating, and camping, and Swan Lake Iris Gardens providing walking paths and seasonal events. Local families often frequent the Sumter Family YMCA for youth programs and fitness, and use nearby resources such as Sumter School District for educational options.
Housing in Oakland ranges from established homes on larger lots to newer construction, with prices influenced by proximity to Sumter, Shaw Air Force Base, and regional job centers. Because inventory can shift quickly, buyers benefit from an agent who understands micro-markets and timing, while sellers gain an edge by preparing and pricing strategically. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers in Oakland with the right real estate professional to help them move at the right moment.

“It was a pleasure to have Jarlene work with us to sell our house. She is a honest hardworking individual that goes above and beyond for her clients. We will recommend Jarlene to anyone who is selling or buying real estate.”
“Rich and I felt that Kathy went above and beyond our expectations.”
“Wendy Howard was the realtor that we worked with throughout the entire process. She was outstanding in many ways. Always available always with good insights always with a fresh perspective and went above and beyond what I would've expected a realtor to do based on my prior experiences in New Jersey. She gets extremely high marks because she earned them not just because we liked her personally. I cannot say the same for Carrie Amick. She was abrasive provided very little additional insight to the process for remediating inspection items noted in the report. Every time I ask the question I felt like I was being scolded. For someone who was buying a piece of property in this area. I would've expected more professionalism. She kept telling me how she has 32 years of experience in real estate. Well for 32 years I would've expected more value as the buyer; we didn't get that from her. Wendy picked up the slack thankfully.”
“Christine is who we used to buy our home, and when we were ready to sell that same home it was a no brainer! We trust her completely!”
“Shannon was excellent in helping us set the listing price and marketing our home. She kept us updated and assisted us at every stage of the sale. This was the eighth home we sold in seven different states, and she was the best agent we have worked with.”
“To be honest with you, the Greg Harrelson-Century 21 Group did an Excellent job, ONLY when I switched agents from Joseph Barrientos to Jake Ross. Joseph really wasn't focused on the task at hand to sell my properties with my best interests. Also, Joseph wasn't a people person, more interested in his own personal interests and NO Communication at all, Not Acccessible at all. I would Not recommend him to anyone. I am Extremely Pleased and Satisfied with the performance and communication with Jake Ross and would Highly Recommend him to everyone !!!!”
“Great agent. She understood what I was looking for and didn't send me things that were not apart of my criteria. Very focused driven and passionate about the local real estate market.”
“Dylan was very easy to work with he was available day and night answered all my questions made the process very easy kept me informed at all times of what was going on. I felt very comfortable working with him in the end the property was sold and that's all that really matters and he made that process easy right down to the closing.”
“Brian Monahan is a great example of how a professional should treat his clients! We are very happy with how he treated us and also how he helped us through the whole process. We threw him some curve balls and he adjusted brilliantly! Thank you Brian for everything you did to help us purchase our home. You are the best and we consider you as family now!”
“Mike Steed has been my choice for real estate transactions as both a buyer and a seller for over 10 years. As long as he is at Century 21 Vanguard, I will remain a client. Mike is patient and kind and always willing to deal with whatever nonsense comes up. He is of the highest moral and ethical fiber, and receives my unqualified recommendation.”
“Abe and His Team are Outstanding. If you are looking for a real estate agent in Myrtle Beach, look no further than Abe Safa. Choosing Abe to represent me was an all-around great choice, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Abe was incredibly clear, confident and knowledgeable about the local market. He laid out a solid strategy for my home, and his confidence put my mind at ease. He delivered exactly what he promised: we went under contract in just 3 weeks! Huge thanks to his administrative team Bianca and Athena and to the Closing Coordinator, Joanne. They worked incredibly hard behind the scenes to keep everything organized, seamless and stress-free. Their communication and teamwork were top-notch. Abe is an absolute professional who gets the job done quickly and efficiently, backed by a stellar team. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell your property!!”
“Brandy O'Neill was great! From the time I went under contract through design selections, inspections, closing, and even after closing, she was there every step of the way. She attended every meeting with me, providing support and always looking out for my best interests. I greatly appreciated her attention to detail during walkthroughs, often noticing things that I had overlooked. She was also highly professional and an excellent communicator, whether by email, text, or phone call. I am extremely grateful for her assistance and expertise. As a verteran, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home. 10/10 service!”

“My selling experience with Agent Pronto and the Sweatman Team was absolutely amazing. All my questions were answered in a timely manner all throughout the process. Melinda is the best!”
“Laurie Grekousis represented me in the purchase of a new property. I was impressed with her integrity & character. She maintained close contact, updating me frequently during the different aspects of the purchase. I was so impressed with her compassion to do her best for her client, that I asked her to represent me in selling my old property. Following Laurie's lead thru the selling process, I had a contract after 5 days on market. Closed 35 days later. Laurie has a big heart for her clients. She is thorough, honest, straight forward & has excellent rapport in relationship/negotiation arena.”
“Working with Lindsay Faircloth was an outstanding experience from start to finish. We chose Lindsay because of her honest feedback and her clear, well-informed recommendations on pricing and market valuation. She took the time to explain her methodology, which gave us confidence that our home was positioned correctly in the market. With years of business experience dealing with people, we rely heavily on instinct-and our gut feeling about Lindsay proved to be absolutely right. Her professionalism, market knowledge, and straightforward communication made the entire process smooth and efficient. Thanks to her expertise, our home went under contract in less than two weeks. We couldn't be more pleased with the results and highly recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy real estate professional.”
