For many, homeownership is the cornerstone of the American Dream. As of January 2021, a typical single-family home in the United States costs $269,039. Of course, home values are not uniform across the country, and in some states, the typical home costs far more than the national average — while in others, homes cost far less.
According to estimates from Zillow, a Seattle-based real estate data company, the value of a typical single-family home in Oklahoma is $141,933, about 47% lower than the national average.
Housing prices are determined by supply and demand forces as well as what local residents are willing to pay — and that is influenced largely by what they can afford. As a result, areas with higher than average home values often also have higher-income residents. Oklahoma is no exception. The typical household in the state earns $54,449 annually, $11,300 less than the national median household income of $65,712.
Just as home values are lower than average in Oklahoma, the overall cost of living is too. The average cost of goods and services across the state are 11.6% less than they do nationwide, on average.
Across Oklahoma, home values are climbing at a relatively slow pace. The value of a single-family home across the state increased by 7.21% over the one year period from January 2020 to January 2021, 1.91 percentage points slower than the average national one-year home value appreciation of 9.12%.
